Top blockbusters skipped filming in Scotland for lack of studio

January 17, 2017 by BollywoodPresents Team

Top blockbusters Star Wars, Game of Thrones and Star Trek, all wanted to film in Scotland, but decided against it because of delay in building a world-class studio, reveals industry expert.

An industry expert says Scotland missed out on big money blockbusters after producers decided against coming here due to delays in building a studio.

Willy Wands, chairman of 
the Association of Film and 
Television Practitioners 
Scotland, believes Scotland has missed out on multi-
million-pound productions because of delays in approving the Pentland Film Studio.

He said: “We missed out on Game of Thrones. They came to Scotland first before they went anywhere near Ireland. The lack of a studio was absolutely a factor in Star Wars also going to 
Ireland, not here.” Star Wars, Game of Thrones and Star Trek, all went elsewhere to film.

Film producer Wands said that Scotland needs to provide proper opportunity to the Scottish creative industries sector. Film tourism is a win-win situation, as it positively impacts Tourism, training, jobs, revenue.

“Why it’s taken so long to deliver this studio is a huge mystery. This will be a world-class facility.”

The massive Pentland Film Studio, planned at a 96-acre site in Straiton, on the outskirts of Edinburgh, is getting delayed and film-makers are furious 
because of it. The self-funded project is headed by former Warner Brothers development manager Jim O’Donnell.

There were no comments from Pentland Studios development 
director O’Donnell.
