Planning clearance has been dismissed to a $950 million UK film studio supported by James Cameron and other well-known figures. All of the major companies connected to the studio have taken severe damage from this.
Planning approval has been denied to a $950 million UK film studio supported by James Cameron and other prominent individuals. The Buckinghamshire Council accepted the planning authorities’ choice to reject the Marlow Film Studios plans. Protest organizations had earlier stated that the Marlow quarry area’s plans were inappropriate, and the area’s development has become controversial over the months.
The Marlow Town Council leader had earlier stated that he and other members were seeking legal counsel after getting vitriolic critique for their alleged support of the proposal, according to the local publication Bucks Free Press. Robert Laycock, the CEO of Marlow Film Studios, informed the public that he was deliberating about his future move. “We are disappointed the committee failed to support this extraordinary proposal,” the speaker stated. One of the most significant possibilities for investment for Buckinghamshire’s and its citizens’ futures is this one.
Cameron, Sam Mendes, and Andy Serkis, among others, have contributed to the studio, which is one of several being built in the UK during the rise in high-end TV and movies. A few weeks ago, Titanic creator Cameron issued a letter to the council supporting the proposals and suggesting that Lightstorm3D use Marlow as a possible base and training center.
