Summary
- Malta is seeking €80 million in private investment for a new film studio.
- The facility, named the Land Sea Super Stage, will feature unique capabilities.

Malta is actively seeking private investment to construct a groundbreaking film facility, the Land Sea Super Stage, at Malta Film Studios. This ambitious project aims to significantly enhance the country's capacity to host major Hollywood productions.
The initiative represents a strategic move by the Malta Film Commission to invest over €80 million in the nation's film industry. Film commissioner Johann Grech highlighted that the facility's unique blueprints include a water tank and structural integrity sufficient for hanging large aircraft, differentiating it from existing studios.
Proposals for financing, building, and operating the superstudio are now being accepted during a three-month open call. Grech expressed his commitment to elevating Malta's film infrastructure, building on the success of hosting previous high-profile productions like 'Gladiator' and 'Jurassic World'.
This development is expected to strengthen Malta's appeal for high-budget film franchises. The Land Sea Super Stage is envisioned to make Malta a premier destination for some of the world's biggest movies.
