The Pinewood 007 Stage has been destroyed by fire.
When it was created for the filming of The Spy Who Loves Me, and was at the time the world’s largest soundstage. It was needed to accomodate the interior of the supertanker; which had two enormous tankers within it. This was used in the movie’s climax; a scene that was filmed with the help of Stanley Kubrick.
Pinewood Studios named the soundstage “The 007 Stage” in honor of this amazing event. And now, I guess, it’s gone.
I have to share the sub-title that The Register (biting the hand that feeds IT) gave to it’s article on the fire…….
Hideous spectre
