Blackhall Studios, which runs a film production facility in Atlanta, Georgia, is planning to enter the UK market with a major development earmarked for Reading, west of London

In response, there have been a raft of studio facility developments announced in recent years, including a large new studio proposal unveiled by broadcast SkySeveral of the builds have not been without their snags, however. A significant project in London, Dagenham East,after the original preferred partner dropped out, and other facilities in England and Scotland have not moved forward as quickly as originally suggested.

Ryan Millsap, Chairman and CEO of Blackhall, said on the UK studio: “We are delighted to be establishing a base in the UK. Blackhall is the global standard for entertainment production space and our US-based clients like Disney, Universal and Sony are all asking us to expand into the UK to meet their desire to create productions here.They wouldn’t trust just anyone to meet their high standards, so we are delighted to serve them in this way.

“We are very excited about the prospect of investing in the UK creative industries as one of the most vibrant markets in the world.We hope that the site at Thames Valley Science Park will be the start of a series of investments in the UK which will see investment in jobs, training and the creative arts across a range of disciplines. The UK has a wealth of talent that our UK companies recognise and want to partner with for decades to come.

Nick Smith, Blackhall’s UK President and COO, said: “Britain has an enviable array of filmmaking talent, but the industry is short of high-quality studio facilities capable of catering for the new and emerging technologies that will form the core of television and film production in the future. “The proposals support the UK Government’s commitment to desire to see this sector’s annual inward investment deliver $5.2BN by 2025. Blackhall is committed to play its part in making that vision a reality. This initial investment of $195M into the UK economy will create a new powerhouse of creative production and educational achievement, as well as generating up to 3,000 new jobs.”
