A new giant movie studio will be built in Marratxi

Mallorca is seeking a leading role in the film industry with plans announced to build a giant movie studio in Marratxi. The project is supported by the City Council of Mallorca with the support of the Mallorca Film Commission.

Not only will the film studio be built on a 5,000 square meter site, but it will also include a water shooting tank. The announcement comes after the successful filming of a number of movies and series on the island, including Lioness with Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman, parts of the Netflix series 5 and 6, The Crown, and the Hollywood movie, Hustle with Adam Sandler. Local authorities say dozens of international film production companies want to shoot on the island.

The Council of Marratxi has already given the green light to the project and the construction work will start soon. The fact that the studios will have a water tank will also give the project an even greater boost.
