The stage which has
been rebuilt following a fire in July 2006 is currently the largest
stage in Europe with an internal area of 59,000 sq ft and an immense
tank capable of holding 5.25 million litres. A number of features
that have been incorporated to enable filmmakers to get the most out
of the stage include a vehicle access ramp directly into the tank,
aircraft hangar style loading doors and improved sound proofing. The
stage is perfect for film, TV and events and now has a capacity of
2000 people.
At launch, the
007 stage website will feature exclusive content on the stage’s
state of the art redevelopment, including never before seen images
of the fire in July 2006 and custom made video, animation and
interactive elements detailing its impressive grand redesign.
Professionals and consumers alike will be able to register to
receive monthly newsletters containing updates on the studios by
email.
The world famous 007 stage at
Pinewood was built in 1976 for the Bond movie
The Spy Who Loved
Me and has since housed some of the most spectacular sets in
cinema history. Cambodian Temples for Lara Croft Tomb Raider,
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon for Alexander, The Louvre
Gallery for The Da Vinci Code and The Chocolate River for
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to name but a few. More
recently, Pinewood Studios’ 007 Stage was home to several
spectacular scenes from Casino Royale. |
