The film production industry is a huge boost to the SE economy. It’s been hurting with the strikes. Hopefully improves now.
It’s an encouraging sign of things to come, especially coming out of the strikes situation. The expansion of the Leavesden studio is only another positive step forward.
Just hope Warner Bros Discovery don’t make it the home of tax write offs given their recent history.
We need more original ideas to keep the film industry alive though. We cannot rely on sequels and cinematic universes forever. The novelty of Barbie is what made it such a success and studios need to take more risks if they want to reverse the downward trend of cinema audiences.
Good news, but I’m curious as to why a US production company would shoot a film like this in the UK over Canada where they can get much more generous tax credits.
Anyone know what they gain from it?
Nice to hear especially with the threat of AI being used for the extras already by companies such as Disney. Won’t be long till it’s the norm for films with that amount of people in to take the cheap option
6000? 600 I’d buy, but I can’t think of a single shot of this movie that would require that many people.
The film industry in England is going to be booming next year with the 34% tax relief. DC studios making a home at wb leavesden and disney booking massive deals with pinewood.
The sets where amazing , I never knew that parts were filmed here .
100 million boost, where did that go, same place as the brexit bus NHS fund!!
The culture industry still provides us with a lot of jobs!
