Pinewood Opens 'Q Stage'

Pinewood Studios has opened a new facility for both film and television production.
The 'Q Stage' has been formally opened by actor Ben Whishaw, adding the new 30,000 sq ft stage and 15,000 sq ft of production accommodation and workshops to Pinewood's expanding facilities.
The stage was completed on 27 September 2013, with Pinewood revealing the first production to move in is a large, inward investment film.
It follows a similar model to Pinewood's Richard Attenborough Stage, which opened in 2011 and has already hosted films including Les Miserables, Jack Ryan and Ridley Scott's new production, Exodus, as well as TV shows like Chris Moyles' Love Machine and the most recent series of The Voice.
Andrew Smith, Director of Strategy and Communications, Pinewood Shepperton, said: "We are thrilled that Ben took time out of his busy schedule to formally open 'Q' Stage. Pinewood continues to invest in its infrastructure to ensure it offers all types of production the most state of the art, secure and flexible stages possible. It is even more special to have Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson here to help celebrate and it underlines the very special relationship Pinewood and Eon Productions enjoy."
