UK production spend down by 35%
Although the UK box office is seeing record sales, GBP949.5 million was spent in 2008 which equates to a 5% increase on 2007, its production is certainly not.
In 2008, 111 pictures were produced in the UK, down from 126 in 2007. 2008 also saw a 35% drop in domestic film production investment.
2009 is also expected to be quite bleak but John Woodward, head of the UK Film Council, is remaining positive. He said: "This year has got off to a great start for British films and talent at the awards ceremonies. The major Fox production Gulliver's Travels is due to start shooting in April, plus Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Nottingham will also be filmed in the UK this year."
