Building castles in Pinewood -- whether Snow White's or Sleeping Beauty's --- should look much the same.

Disney comes to Pinewood: American giant set to move into historic studios in £5m 'major victory' for British film industry
By Sharon Churcher and Brendan Carlin|
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that the entertainment and amusement park group – which owns America’s ABC TV network and one of Hollywood’s largest production centres – has drawn up an agreement to take over offices and sound stages at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.
According to industry insiders, the deal is a ‘major victory’ for the British film industry. The investment is thought to be worth about £5 million, although Disney sources would not confirm the figure.
The complex is renowned for its gigantic sets, such as the 69,000 sq ft ‘007 stage’ built for the Bond movies, including Skyfall, the latest in the franchise, as well as for the fishing village featured in Mamma Mia!
Disney has used it for Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and Angelina Jolie was recently there to for Maleficent, the company’s remake of Sleeping Beauty.
Under the new agreement, Disney will have the sole use of several of the complex’s 17 sound stages.
A spokesman said: ‘Walt Disney Studios is looking to enter into a long-term lease arrangement with Pinewood Studios.’
A Hollywood insider familiar with the agreement said last night: ‘Instead of paying to do productions at Pinewood on a film-by-film basis, the intention is that Walt Disney will have a lease on sound stages and the company will move into a certain amount of office space.’
The Pinewood studios are owned by billionaire property developer John Whittaker’s Peel Group and a jewellery chain, Warren James Holdings.
The company has big plans for the studios and hoped to win new business with an ambitious £200 million expansion, with proposals to build new sets replicating the streets of New York, Chicago, Amsterdam, Venice, Paris, Prague and parts of Lake Como.
A housing development was also planned as part of the overall scheme, dubbed ‘Project Pinewood’.
But in January it was rejected by Communities Secretary Eric Pickles because it involved building on Green Belt land. Pinewood is now working on new plans for the site, which it hopes to submit next month.
The studios have been facing increased competition from Chinese and South African studios and America’s Warner Brothers, which has opened a £60 million studio at a disused Hertfordshire aerodrome. Boasting nine massive sound stages, it was used for Ben Affleck’s new film, Argo.
Tradition: Pinewood is renowned for its gigantic
sets, such as the 69,000 sq ft '007 stage' built for the Bond movies,
including Skyfall, the latest in the franchise, pictured
Last night, a Pinewood spokesman said of the deal: ‘I’m afraid it’s not something that we can comment on.’
But one movie industry expert said: ‘The agreement with Disney is a major victory for Pinewood. It’s an injection of assured cash into Britain’s best-known studio.’

Brad’s bride and joy
The wedding planner ... Brad Pitt is taking care of all the preparations for his wedding to Angelina Jolie
By GORDON SMART, Showbiz Editor
Published: Today at 01:27
MOST blokes with a few days off would fine-tune their X Box skills or perfect their beer tasting.
But Brad Pitt has managed to make the women of the world weep with envy yet again by taking charge of all the wedding preparations in his spare time.
He’s flown a team of builders to the gaff he shares with Angelina Jolie in southern France to get renovations finished in time for some late-September nuptials.
The actor has been organising every detail for their planned 20 guests, right down to the placemats and hymns during the service.
A source said: “Angelina isn’t so bothered about when they tie the knot – it’s Brad who is piling on the pressure.
“He wants the main house to be finished when the event takes place, even though the close friends and relatives who are invited aren’t the types to care.
“He wants everything to be absolutely perfect.”
Better not forget the cheese and pineapple hedgehog then.

Still star struck that Angilna Jolie and Brad Pitt drove past me in there buggy's had such a clear veiw and filming where I am for the week!
Stressing me that anglina+brad in same place as me I've only seen them once for about 2 secounds
There's a group of dwafs......
VICTORIA BEKHAM: BE MY BFF ANGELINA JOLIE
ABOVE: Victoria Beckham is trying to befriend Angelina Jolie
The Cruises were the first couple Posh, 38, and Becks, 37, made friends with when they moved to LA in 2007
IT looks like there’s been another casualty in Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’s shock divorce – poor Victoria Beckham.
The Cruises were the first couple Posh, 38, and Becks, 37, made friends with when they moved to LA in 2007.
Their
split has left a gaping hole in the Beckhams’ lives, one which can only
be filled by another power couple. And Posh already has her ambitious
eye on Angelina Jolie, 37, and Brad Pitt, 48.
Victoria has been trying to arrange a lunch date with Angie while the pair are in the UK over the summer.
Angie
is filming in England while Victoria is thought to be rehearsing with
the Spice Girls to perform at the Olympics closing ceremony.
A
pal of Posh told Goss. “Victoria was hoping Brad and Angie would hang
out with her and David at the Olympics but it hasn’t happened.
“But that hasn’t put her off. She has always been the ultimate networker and Angelina is one of her heroes.
“She’d love Angie to start wearing some of her outfits, especially on the red carpet.”
Sources say Posh is “keen to cultivate” a friendship with the actress and maybe even turn her into her new BFF.
“Clearly, she and David won’t be hanging out with Tom and Katie any more as a foursome,” continued the friend.
“Posh thinks Brad and Angie would be the ideal replacement as power-couple pals.”
But
sadly for Posh, another insider said of Angie: “She hates schmoozing
and is quite shy. She rarely has a night out with anyone, unless she’s
known them for years.
“It’s just the way she is. When she’s not working, she likes to spend time at home with Brad and the kids.”
Despite their split, Posh and Becks are still determined to remain friends with the Cruises.
Victoria has promised Katie, 33, she will be impartial but will always be there for her.
“She and Victoria have been talking a lot.”
Meanwhile
David, who was befriended by 50-year-old Tom before he even moved to
the States full time to play for LA Galaxy, recently defended the
Mission Impossible actor.
He said: “He’s a really good person. Tom is one of the hardest working people I know.
“He’s a great dad and he’s got a great family behind him.”

Weekend Box Office: 'The Dark Knight Rises' Bats Off 'Total Recall' For Third Straight Week At The Top
Box Office by
There’s no nice way of saying this: it is absolutely impossible to justify the $200 million production budget for the new version of “Total Recall.” As much of a pleasure the original may be, it’s a contemporary blockbuster defined by its leading man. Folly on those for trying to replicate the work of Arnold Schwarzenegger without a capable replacement for the Austrian strongman, as evidenced by the weak returns on “Terminator: Salvation” and last summer’s “Conan the Barbarian.” Those franchises restarted by replacing Schwarzenegger’s presence with Christian Bale and Jason Momoa, so what hope would they have with Colin Farrell instead?
Hollywood’s desperate search for leading men has led us to Farrell returning to the limelight years after starring in a series of studio non-starters. Overnight, he went from hot young thing to leading man for would-be blockbusters like “Alexander” and “Miami Vice,” both pricey lowlights of a brief run where Farrell appeared in a number of box office underperformers. A brief sabbatical was followed by the excellent “In Bruges,” which won Farrell a Golden Globe and a new lease on his studio career -- bizarre considering the film was seen by about ten people and the Golden Globes are largely considered a joke. Unfortunately, “Total Recall” was already in production when Farrell‘s “Fright Night” debuted last summer to spectacularly dismal numbers, reaffirming that in Hollywood there are blockbuster leading men, and then there are Colin Farrells. Or Jude Laws.
Regardless, even if they did nab a bankable leading man, there’s nothing in “Total Recall”’s pedigree to suggest it could generate $400-$600 million box office worldwide, especially without 3D-inflated prices. Director Len Wiseman may have shepherded “Live Free or Die Hard” to big bucks, though that was a franchise picture with an A-List star given a highly lucrative Independence Day opening, and even the film’s most staunch defenders have little to say about Wiseman’s work on the film. Coupled with the movie’s supporting cast of Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel, both of whom have amounted to wallpaper in a string of blockbusters and bombs, and it’s clear that an optimist would think that the original film’s $100 million gross would be a reasonable target to aim for.
Though it should continue to play for the next few remaining weeks, “Ice Age: Continental Drift” appears largely tapped out, and domestically it should finish below the earlier films in the series. Again, of course, the Blue Sky guys know how to keep budgets down, and they generally release the cheapest CG-animated fare in the marketplace to ever-reliable grosses. It stayed ahead of the feeble second weekend of “The Watch,” which by far registered the lowest per-screen average of any film in the top five, and it should vanish quickly as soon as Fox yanks it off those 3,000 plus screens.
Taking the swiftest fall in the top ten was “Step Up: Revolution,” suggesting that, even with its low budgets, this franchise might have to take a knee. Since the breakout first film, the grosses have dropped for each successive film, and this was the first 'Step Up' from Summit after the series was abandoned by Disney. While worldwide the film should perform strongly (in several regions the franchise goes by “Sexy Dance,” which helps), it’s unclear if a studio like Summit, who does not distribute internationally, would see the viability in “Step Up 5.” Unless it were set in space. Summit, you have our mailing address, we’ll take a check.
“The Amazing Spider-Man” is wrapping up its run, though the picture lost quite a bit of momentum once “The Dark Knight Rises” took over the marketplace. This weekend it finally crosses the $250 million mark, almost $90 million below the domestic take of “Spider-Man 3,” the lowest grossing film in the series stateside, even with enhanced 3D prices. Sony saw the writing on the wall months ago, which is why it hired blockbuster scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to take over writing duties for a theoretically bigger, badder sequel. They’re willing to take Spidey’s significantly lower stateside profile if it comes with robust global receipts (nearly $700 million worldwide and counting) and the chance to build from a more solid foundation, free of any pesky perfectionists like Sam Raimi. The question Hollywood is asking is, does Marc Webb come along for the ride in part two? The answer might be the difference in Spidey making hundreds of millions, and the 'Spider-Man' movies becoming a global billion dollar brand. How big do you want your beach houses to be, Sony?
“Brave” and “Magic Mike” are winding down, both considered sizable success stories thus far. Both fought off strong competition on the cusp of the top ten in the form of the expanding “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” which finished outside the top ten with $1.2 million at 318 locations. Its breakout potential is limited, as the per-screen average isn’t very strong, though the film has already had a solid run in preparation for a DVD blitz in time for Oscar campaigning. In further limited release, "Celeste And Jesse Forever" registered the fifth strongest per-screen average of the year amongst indies, with $112k on only four screens. The star-filled "360" also opened, though interest was insignificant, with $12.6k of tickets sold on two screens. Even worse was the latest from Broken Lizard, "The Babymakers," which appeared on ten screens, grossing a piddling $5.7k.
In its second weekend, meanwhile, "Ruby Sparks" expanded from thirteen to 64 theaters, a $400k total suggesting a wide expansion might be a possibility. "Killer Joe" was spectacular in its second weekend, meanwhile, with $163k on fourteen screens, while "Seaching For Sugar Man" closed its second frame with $38.5k at seven locations. And Roadside Attractions gave a tiny release to actioner "Soldiers Of Fortune,"
which tanked with $22k on fifty screens, for a per-screen average of
$446. Support your local arthouse theater, boys and girls.

SATURDAY 11 PM, 5TH UPDATE:
Theatrical grosses are still not returning to normal. Instead of the
Aurora shooting tragedy spooking box office, the red-hot London Olympics
(“NBC Holds American Viewers Hostage: Day 9″) is distracting filmgoers.
Total moviegoing this weekend looks like $120M which is down yet again
(-25%) from last year. Sony Pictures’ reboot of 1990′s Arnold
Schwarzenegger actioner Total Recall now starring Colin Farrell couldn’t give Warner Bros’ and Legendary Pictures’ third-weekend-veteran The Dark Knight Rises the tight race Hollywood expected. (Nice to hear from my opinionated gurus again…) Right now it looks like TDKR (4,242 theaters) bounced back for #1 its third straight $36.2M or a domestic total of $354.4M. Creeping in soft to begin with, Total Recall (3,601
theaters) “performed in line with tracking and expectations,” Sony said
$26.5M opening. Actually, the studio had expected more:
$28M-$30M. Problem is, as rival studios point out, this weekend’s take
won’t be enough to make up the pic’s $150M cost unless it hits big
overseas. Worse, the CinemaScore is only a ‘C+’ meaning word of mouth
won’t improve over the weekend.
I don’t know why Hollywood keeps thinking Colin Farrell can carry a movie. He’s just not box office, and this pic proves that again. And Total Recall was a completely unnecessary remake that ignored the elements that made the original worth watching. The last version directed by Paul Verhoeven starred Ah-nold at the height of his film career. The marketing even made fun of his iconic status by promo-ing the hell of that scene putting him in a dress as he sneaked into Mars. This new version directed by Len Wiseman is still based on Philip K. Dick’s seminal short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” but without Arnie or Mars or the campiness. There are five credited writers: screen story by Ronald Shusett & Dan O’Bannon and Jon Povill and Kurt Wimmer, with screenplay credited to Wimmer and Mark Bomback. The producers are Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe. The campaign for Total Recall focused on men and therefore on sports programming, the American Idol finale, the MTV Movie Awards, and other male-centric TV like Anger Management, Louie, Wilfred, and Brand X. Digital centered around the WelcomeToRekall.com interactive website. Sneak peeks and special spots ran in WWE Raw, Breaking Bad, Falling Skies, and a UFC fight on Fox. The cast rolled out the film at Comic-Con, followed by a press day in Miami, an international tour in France and Brazil, and a junket and premiere in Los Angeles, as well as the daytime and late-night talk shows. The talent will continue to promote the film as it rolls out internationally with a tour to Russia, Spain, Germany, the UK, Ireland, and China.
On the other hand, Fox’s PG-rated Diary Of A Wimpy Kid 3 (3,392
theaters) was made on only a $22M negative just like the first
two. When Fox 2000 first bought the books, there were 1 million in
print; now there are 75 million in print in 40 different languages.
Author Jeff Kinney has been involved in all 3 films. Elizabeth Gabler,
always a huge advocate, worked closely with the production when itds
longtime executive Carla Hacken left for New Regency. This is the first
time any installment of this successful Wimpy Kid
franchise isn’t releasing in March. Bad decision. While the original and
sequels scored $22.1M and $23.7M respectively, the new one called Dog Days opened
for only $14.5M. The CinemaScore of ‘A-’ could mean stronger numbers
from the excellent word of mouth. Fox and producers Nina Jacobson and
Brad Simpson combined Books 3 and 4 but used the title of the 4th book, Dog Days,
“because we wanted to make a movie both set and released in the
summer,” Jacobson told me. This installment pumps up Steve Zahn’s role,
which the producers had been wanting to do. Pic was directed by David
Bowers; screenplay credit goes to Maya Forbes & Wallace Wolodarsky.

Pinewood set + other bits
Maleficent's production personnel have also been vigilant online. The tweet & photo below have since been deleted. When a crew member posted set pics a few weeks ago it took a few days for someone to notice and read him the riot act, but this time it only took a few hours. The crew member ended up not only deleting his tweets but his entire account as well. The person who took the photo below works for ITN and is apparently not directly employed by the production so he doesn't have to fear losing his job over an illicit photo. But he might have difficulty getting this close again soon.
Since the earlier incident, security has been tightened and the cast and crew have been asked to sign confidentiality agreements. They've so far succeeded in stemming leaks onto social media which is no small feat given the intense interest. A young intern working briefly as a runner with the art dept. said he was asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement and lamented his limited access to the set to see Angelina. An actress with a bit part gushed about the production while also saying that everything was top secret.

The other photo he posted is of the Grand Hall (below), which looks like the backdrop of the scene where Maleficent confronts King Stefan in Sleeping Beauty.

Doubtful....
Jolie’s altruism, as well as her desired jewellery, which are
available to view by private appointment only, is something else to be
admired as all proceeds from the sale will go to the Angelina Jolie
foundation, the Education Partnership for Children and Conflict, to
build a school in Afghanistan. Working alongside the designer of her
engagement ring, Robert Procop, who created a jewel worth a staggering
250,000 dollars, she will also be displaying jewellery designed by them
both in an exciting and artistic collaboration.
The showcase, which commenced on 15th July, will remain in the Riviera for the summer, giving these jewels time to shine and allow new and existing customers to look and even try them on, while understanding the creative process behind the masterpieces.
Robert Procop, who met Jolie at the Oscars in 2000 and shared the same passion for jewellery as her, is now recognised as one of the world’s leading jewellers and gemstone specialists, providing for international dignitaries, royalty and celebrities. This pop up showcase promises to satisfy every girl’s dreams.
