Rebellion, the independent UK media company behind the Sniper Elite video game series and owner of comic book label 2000AD, has acquired a new £78m studio to further its expansion into film and television production. The 220,000 sq ft location is based in a former printing press in Didcot near the company’s Oxford headquarters. The studio will be used in the production of the Judge Dredd Netflix series Mega City One and the upcoming Rogue Trooper movie helmed by Moon director Duncan Jones. Rebellion, owned by brothers Jason and Chris Kingsley, said the studio will be open from Monday 26 November with its full facilities to follow in 2019. The company also said that it expects to create 500 jobs for the British film and TV industry in the coming years. “This studio purchase is incredibly exciting, not just for Rebellion but for the global film and television industry that is booming but in desperate need of further infrastructure,” said CEO Jason Kingsley. … [Read more...] about Judge Dredd publisher Rebellion opens new £78m UK film and TV studio
