James Cameron backed studio rejected in UK

[FWN Adm]

A new UK studio - backed by film director James Cameron - has been rejected permission to be built. The Buckinghamshire studio was denied planning permission on a controversial development, due in part to concerns from campaign groups about the local quarry area. According to local newspaper the Bucks Free Press, the leader of Marlow Town Council had previously said he and fellow members were "taking legal advice" after receiving "libellous abuse" for their perceived support of the project. Film director James Cameron had supported the project and considered it as a potential base and training center for Lightstorm3D, a company he set up to develop tools and tech for movies.

The matter has been appealed at the UK courts and awaiting review.
