 Pinewood Studios Unveils Sean Connery Stage

Pinewood Studios is to name a sound stage in honor of the late Sean Connery. The move comes on what would have been the Academy Award-winning James Bond star’s 92nd birthday. The 18,000 sq ft purpose-built sound stage is one of five new stages opening on the Pinewood Studios lot, which has been rapidly expanding since Netflix and Amazon took out leases at the Disney, Marvel and Jurassic Park studio. “The revered actor and original James Bond had a life-long connection with both Pinewood and Shepperton Studios so it is fitting that the naming ceremony will take place in 2022, the 60th anniversary year of the James Bond films,” said Pinewood Group Chairman Paul Golding.
