Malta Film Commission plans €80M studio facility to boost film industry
What happened
The Malta Film Commission is developing a new, ambitious soundstage facility called the Land Sea Super Stage. The facility, which will be housed at Malta Film Studios, is designed to host major blockbusters and includes a water tank and construction capable of hanging two Black Hawk helicopters. The project requires two years to complete and is currently accepting proposals for investments to finance, build, and operate the superstudio, targeting over €80 million in private investment in Malta’s film industry.
Why it matters
The Commission stated that the goal is to create a world-class film industry presence in Malta. This initiative follows successful projects that have utilized Malta for locations and water tanks, including major franchises like *Gladiator* and *Jurassic World*. The project aims to significantly upgrade Malta’s film infrastructure.
