Film news: Sky Studios receives approval for major expansion

Sky Studios’ state-of-the-art film and television studio, based in Elstree, is set to receive a huge upgrade.

Already one of the leading production hubs in Europe, the expansion will see a further ten stages added to the studios, bringing the grand total to 22 stages over a space of 470,000 square feet.

The project is being financed and developed by Legal and General, and signals a major boost for economic growth in the UK, writes Film News Blitz’s Rhys Rogers.
