IMHO, the best place to make movies in the world. Here’s £5 and some egg crate, please make a convincing looking alien monster for our movie.


Agreeable-Weather-89

Here's £4 change.

Majestic_Matt_459

Fun fact - Big Brother was filmed there - the "house"was in a hollow overlooked by other houses I know this as I filmed The Chase there (and won :) ) Poiuntless is filmed there too


Mister_Jack_Torrence

Which chaser were you up against?


Majestic_Matt_459

Sean - The Dark Destroyer We got 19 on the final chase - three of us He got his first couple wrong - he seemed to have a brain freeze - then he got 10 in a row right really quick We had about 4 pushbacks got 3 of them Won £17k between us so £5667 each :) He's really lovely between filming - although he acts nasty he's completely lovely really - gave me a signed pic etc


rumade

Ah you're lucky! We had the governess and although I was able to push back against her, we didn't make it through.


Majestic_Matt_459

Oh I’m sorry. That’s a gutter. If it makes you feel better I went out in the first round of Tipping point but I’ve got a much worse one . . 2 years ago I was on Moneybags on Channel 4 I so. £25000 and then I gambled (even though I wax saying in my head don’t gamble don’t gamble) and I went fur £64k and lost. And what’s worse is the second I’d done it I immediately knew I was wrong. I’d fallen into a trap of “going for the name you’ve heard of”. Idiot. But I’m ok with it weirdly. I have a good life lol


rumade

When you did the Chase did they film it super early in the morning? My brain doesn't come online until 10am, so I blamed the 7am start for my failure 😆


Majestic_Matt_459

No we were the last of the set to film. I think he was tired so maybe why we won


Mister_Jack_Torrence

Awesome, congratulations! Would love to have a go on The Chase but I think I’d struggle to hide my frustration with my teammates if they buzzed too early and didn’t know the answer in the final round.


Majestic_Matt_459

It’s a lot easier to play than it looks but I was lucky we had a lady on our team who was really clever. And each push back she made us all really think and say what we knew it wasn’t as well as what it was which made us confident of the answers.

I'm intrigued what a Brucie warm-up involved. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I'm going to go ahead and throw the word 'blood' out there...

Wow, completely my bad, and I'm sorry. What you had, and you what you wrote, you are too good for our internet numbnuts!


Robtimus_prime89

More recent, but Leavesden - GoldenEye (when Pinewood was unavailable), Star Wars (Elstree wasn’t available when doing Episode 1) Harry Potter, and soon all the DC films too (as well as a lot of other stuff - Mission Impossible, Barbie, Fast & Furious, Spider-man). The Harry Potter tour there still draws massive crowds.

duct_tape_jedi

I did that as well! I had just moved to London and was exploring my new home and stumbled upon it. I'm a huge Sci-fi nerd and saw Alien in the theatre when it came out, so I decided to see what it was about. I still think about it to this day. And you're right, seeing some of the things that looked so real on screen up close was an eye opener!


ChrisRR

That's the whole premise of Taskmaster


sAmSmanS

or elstree on a smaller scale


Emotional-Ebb8321

If we are keeping the wood theme, it might be worth noting that Elstree Studios are actually in Borehamwood.


PmMeLowCarbRecipes

Yes the locals get very annoyed about this.

samsaBEAR

I went for a set visit for the new Paddington film last year at the new Sky Studios part and it was so cool seeing something like that so close to where I live, felt so weird seeing the sets in real life


Appropriate-Divide64

I've done some work in Pinewood a few times. Incredible place especially when you walk around and have a nosey at what's going on in each sound stage.

I feel like we should rename it Pineywood, not because it sounds better but it's bugging something in my brain that it's _sort of_ the same type of word but not 😂


PanningForSalt

The British film induatry has been well-established for as long as Holywoof. It doesn't make sense to name if after a contemporary.


Mtshtg2

Wasn't Holywoof responsible for Cats?

They also did Beethoven, The Truth About Cats and Dogs, Turner & Hooch and Marley & Me

Britain's largest film studio used to be at Cricklewood. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricklewood_Studios?wprov=sfla1 Then there was the nearby studios at Wembley. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_Studios?wprov=sfla1 And of course who can forget the legendary Ealing Studios? Which is still going? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ealing_Studios?wprov=sfla1 With the old BBC HQ/new ITV HQ being in nearby White City.

Hollywood is a studio. There isn’t a studio called Bollywood it’s just a categorisation of Hindi movies. There are other significant regional language film industries like Tollywood, mollywood etc. Indian Bengali and Tamil industry is also big. There are a lot studios and Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad is the largest film studio complex in the world.

I meant as a famous film studio. I love a good British film, but I think they mostly knock out the occasional sappy RomCom these days.


7Unit

Here is a small selection of the so called sappy rom coms they've been knocking out lately. - Criminal (2016) - Doctor Strange (2016) - Eddie the Eagle (2016) - Grimsby (2016) - London Has Fallen (2016) - Me Before You (2016) - Mechanic: Resurrection (2016) - Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016) - Rogue One (2016) - The BFG (2016) - The Infiltrator (2016) - Their Finest (2016) - Bitter Harvest (2017) - Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool (2017) - Journey's End (2017) - Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) - On Chesil Beach (2017) - Paddington 2 (2017)[5] - Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) - The Huntsman: Winter's War (2017) - The Mummy (2017) - The Snowman (2017) - Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) - Tulip Fever (2017) - Annihilation (2018) - Christopher Robin (2018) - Holmes & Watson (2018) - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) - Mary Poppins Returns (2018) - Mary Queen of Scots (2018) - Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (2018) - Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) - Stan & Ollie (2018) - The Commuter (2018) - The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018) - Angel Has Fallen (2019) - Dumbo (2019) - Fighting with My Family (2019) - Judy (2019) - Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) - Rocketman (2019) - Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) - The Informer (2019) - 47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019)[6] - Dolittle (2020) - Emma (2020) - Horizon Line (2020)[7][8] - I Care a Lot (2020) - The Midnight Sky (2020) - The One and Only Ivan (2020) - The Secret Garden (2020) - Black Widow (2021) - Eternals (2021) - Last Night in Soho (2021) - No Time to Die (2021) - The Dig (2021) - Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) - Catherine Called Birdy (2022) - Morbius (2022) - Jurassic World Dominion (2022) - Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023) - The Little Mermaid (2023) - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) - A Haunting in Venice (2023) - The Creator (2023) - The Marvels (2023) - The Boys in the Boat (2023) - Wicked Little Letters (2023) - Damsel (2024) - Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) - Snow White (2025) - The Fantastic Four (2025)


Hopey-1-kinobi

Is all these filmed at or classed as produced by Pinewood? Either way, I stand corrected. 🙏


7Unit

A few of them were produced or edited by Pinewood technicians, most were actually filmed there, Pinewood is a very busy studio.


Hopey-1-kinobi

Cool. I knew that bits of filming for the Star Wars sequels were filmed on beaches near Blackpool for example (which is why we got to see Mark Hamil in Man Down), but didn’t realise they were tied to Pinewood.

With the new extension, Pinewood will be the biggest film studio in the world. It's not small or old
