The owner of Britain’s Pinewood Studios, home of the world’s most famous fictional special agent James Bond, is set to be sold to a real estate fund for 323 million pound ($423 million), it said on Thursday.
Synonymous for many Britons with the heyday of British cinema, Pinewood’s first four studios were built in the 1930s at its site west of London and the company has since grown with facilities in the United States, Canada, Malaysia and the Dominican Republic. (Reuters)
