Another Movie Studio May Be Headed to Georgia

Date:

Just when you thought George’s film industry was going to slow down and looks as though another studio is headed to the Peach State. According to Savannah Now, a fairground in Savannah, Georgia could be redeveloped into a film and TV soundstage. The 16 acres coastal Empire fair site along bedding street was purchased by the city for $2.9 million last August now local lawmakers have planned to turn the 15 acres of land into a film studio.

According to reports, Rep. Craig Gordon secured $2.5 million in private funding for the project in order to purchase the land and convert it into a TV studio.

As Savannah’s popularity as a filming destination grows, the complex would help the city meet the increased demand for adequate facilities while providing on-site job training and employment opportunities in collaboration with Savannah Tech and Savannah State University, Bowen said.

This news comes after Pinewood Atlanta Studios executives announced in a recent meeting that the studio is currently working at capacity with 18 TV shows and movies filming all at once at their studios. In addition, Pinewood Atlanta Studios announced they have the biggest productions ever with a total of $1 billion spent in production right now.

As a result, Georgia’s film industry could continue to grow and surpass the 42 movies and TV shows filming right now in the state.
