The UK’s Buckinghamshire council has refused planning permission for Marlow Film Studios, a £750m project supported by Sam Mendes, Pippa Harris and James Cameron.
At a meeting of the council’s Strategic Sites Committee, the plans were rejected after concerns were raised over the impact on the local road network and the use of greenbelt land for development. An initial decision was deferred by councillors in October 2023.
Other industry figures who voiced their support for the project included Andy Serkis; producer Gareth Ellis-Unwin; former BFI CEO Amanda Nevill; American Film Institute chair Howard Stringer; and CEO of global drama at Fremantle,...

Die Verwaltung der Grafschaft Buckinghamshire hat dem Bau eines Filmstudios in der südost-englischen Stadt Marlow die Baugenehmigung verweigert.
Einem Bericht der Lokalzeitung „Bucks Free Press“ zufolge hatten Bürgerinitiativen argumentiert, die Pläne für das Studio im Steinbruchareal von Marlow seien unangemessen. Infolge des kontrovers diskutierten Studioprojekts hätten der Stadtratsvorsitzende von Marlow und seine Kollegen wegen ihrer angeblichen Unterstützung des Projekts „verleumderische Beleidigungen“ erhalten, heißt es in dem Bericht weiter, weshalb man beschlossen habe, sich rechtlichen Rat einzuholen.
„Wir sind enttäuscht, dass der Ausschuss diesen außergewöhnlichen Vorschlag nicht unterstützen konnte. Es handelt sich um eine der bedeutendsten Investitionsmöglichkeiten in die Zukunft von Buckinghamshire und seinen Bewohnern“, erklärte der Geschäftsführer der Marlow Film Studios, Robert Laycock,...

Filmmaker Duncan Jones has been forced to drop out of "Fleming," the biopic about James Bond creator Ian Fleming he was previously attached to.
Jones was keen to direct, but scheduling has become an issue due to Jones' commit to Legendary's "Warcraft" film for the next two years.
Producers are unwilling to wait and so are currently searching for a new director who can begin casting by next year.
Based on Andrew Lycett’s biography, "Fleming" explores the author’s life and his work during the Second World War which helped informed the James Bond novels he wrote.
Oliver Simon, Daniel Baur, Kevin Frakes, Stuart Fenegan, Jim Young and Robert Laycock are producing.

After making one of the finest writing and directorial debuts in recent years with Moon, Duncan Jones followed it up with one of last year’s best films, Source Code, and now it looks like he’s setting up what’s sure to be a brilliant third film, with an eye to go into production before year’s end.
(And having just had the first teaser trailer for Skyfall debut yesterday morning, it only seems right to point you in that direction now.)
A fansite of Jones’, Man Made Movies, has a press release coming out of Cannes that Jones will be taking on a biopic of the creator of James Bond, Ian Fleming, whose own life formed some of the basis for the inspiration creating the world’s most famous spy.
