More movie magic Pinewood aims to be a one-stop studio
PrintEmailPDF Pinewood Studios will today submit its final planning application to double in size, in a desperate attempt to rival Hollywood and cheaper rivals elsewhere.
The Buckinghamshire studio, which is home to James Bond and Harry Potter films, is planning a 40-hectare, £200m expansion that would allow it to compete with the US and eastern Europe. The redevelopment could create up to 1,600 jobs. The company also wants to build up to 1,400 flats to accommodate casts and crews.
If Pinewood gets the go-ahead, the complex will include a Venetian canal, a Parisian square, a Roman amphitheatre and the streets of London. Some sets could be visible from the M25.
They would allow film-makers to shoot more scenes at the studio, without having to go on location. But a director wanting to film a scene set on Lake Como will still have to travel to Italy: the studio was forced to scrap plans to create a replica of the lake due to locals' concerns that it could adversely affect wildlife.

“A documentary film by Jack Oatmon ( http://twitter.com/jackoatmon ).
A look into the hardware hacking community in Montreal, including the Foulab collective. Why are more and more hobbyists experimenting with hacks and circuit bends? What relationship does this imply about consumer society and technological advancement? Is this a real-world analog of ‘user generated content’?
