Famed director James Cameron is backing a proposed UK film studio, but it’s stirring up controversy in the local area. The project, called Marlow Film Studios, needs approval from Buckinghamshire Council. Cameron believes it could be a great spot for his company, Lightstorm3D, which makes movie technology. He says it’ll help grow the UK’s film industry.
However, not everyone is on board. Some locals are worried about things like traffic if the studio gets built. The council leader even talked about taking legal action because of negative comments. The studio site used to be a quarry and is protected greenbelt land, so there are concerns about environmental impact.
Despite the debate, this studio is part of a bigger trend. More film studios are popping up across the UK. It shows that British filmmaking is getting bigger and better.
