This news doesn’t really expand on what we told you back in January except that formal proceedings are now taking place and that Warner Bros. have put in their bid to purchase the site.
“This proposal is central to our long-term plans to invest in the local production community, to create local and industry employment opportunities, and to continue the legacy of exceptional British filmmaking at Leavesden and across the U.K.,” said a Warner Bros. rep.
Leavesden Studios is probably most famous for Harry Potter and The Dark Knight. This concept art comes from Empire and shows what Warner Bros. would like to do with the entrance to the site should their bid be successful.
