Photo / ODTThe mammoth scale of a film studio planned for the outskirts of Wanaka, set to include replicas of New York, Venice and Paris, has been revealed in plans lodged with the Government. The film park would include film sets, post-production facilities, a film school, a screening theatre, a film exhibition centre — and supporting facilities, including cafes, restaurants, tourism, hospitality and conference facilities, and specialist film-related retail outlets. On-site accommodation would allow Silverlight Studios to operate as its own self-contained "bubble" if required, the application says.
