China Live chef and owner George Chen teased the opening of a rooftop bar above his China Live restaurant on Instagram this past weekend. The photo, which features actors Sandra Oh and Michelle Yeoh, was taken back in April when they were in town for the opening of Yeoh’s film “Everything Everywhere All At Once” at the San Francisco Film Festival. But the rooftop bar likely won’t open at least until summer of 2023, according to Eater SF . “I just posted that on Instagram for fun, saying, ‘Hey, roof deck coming,’” he told Eater SF. “...a lot of people still ask me about it.” Chen said the roof has about 5,000-square-feet of space and “unobstructed” views of the entire city and the surrounding Bay Area. A lot of work remains before this idea comes to fruition, though.

Instead, labor unions and movie studios each got in their corners and threw their political muscle behind rival proposals in the state Legislature. The unions backed a bill that would require film productions to hire a designated set safety supervisor and provide training for cast or crew members who are near firearms on the set. Their bill also would impose penalties on productions that have safety violations. The studios got behind legislation that would put existing film industry safety guidelines into state law and task the state fire marshal with developing a … [Read more...] about Editorial: Lawmakers punted on gun-safety rules for film sets.
