Another UK studio is to open later this year in the UK town of Wycombe and a Hollywood feature film will start shooting there.
Temporary planning applications have been submitted to support the unknown Hollywood feature and an application for a permanent studio will follow later this year, transforming a 26-acre site into a 295,000 sq ft eight-stage boutique studio that operator Stage Fifty said will support around 1,200 jobs and create more than £300M (380M) of economic output.
Studio Fifty said the sustainable plan includes sound stages and production buildings with green credentials.
Studio Fifty CEO James Enright said the company has been “working behind the scenes for two years” on the studio following the success of other sites in Farnborough and Winnersh.
He added: “Ideal for independent productions and global franchises alike, the studio will establish High Wycombe as a destination for national and international film and high-end television projects,...

Here's something guaranteed to shake up the replica industry! We just got a press release that says Disney and Lucasfilm have partnered with Pinewood Studios UK, who made the props for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, to open a movie-accurate prop shop.
In this shop, you can purchase many replicas from Tfa including Chewbacca's Bowcaster, Rey's staff, and even the melted helmet of Darth Vader!
But this stuff isn't cheap. The Vader helmet pictured above (which is a limited edition of 500) rings in at $3,500 American! That's a steep price, but considering it's coming straight from the studio that created it, you can guarantee the quality will be that of the film.
Other items, like Rey and Kylo Ren's lightsaber hilts, seem affordable (both $1,250 each) when you look at other lightsaber dealers in the market, so if anything, this could lead to some more competitive pricing overall!
One downside I'm seeing...
