Toronto To Get Giant Film Studio

A huge “media film village” is to be built in Toronto. The state-of-the-art facility will include 14 soundstages and cost more than $100-million. “It’s been a truism in Toronto film circles for the last decade that while the city has sufficiently talented crews to host ‘runaway productions,’ it’s been bypassed by Titanic-sized Hollywood films — movies with budgets in excess of $150-million involving support staff of as many as 2,000 persons — because it has lacked an appropriately huge, purpose-built, state-of-the-art facility.”
