FILMPORT STUDIO A GO IN TORONTO

Variety.com has reported that a major film studio in Toronto has the green light. Phase one of Filmport will include six soundstages, one of them a 45,000 square-foot megastage, North America's biggest constructed specifically for its purpose, and production office and support facilities totaling 232,000 square feet.

A new ruling by the Ontario Municipal Board has cleared the way for construction to begin on a long-awaited megastudio for the city.

When complete, the complex is expected to house more than a dozen soundstages totaling 550,000 square feet of production space. Filmport is part of a larger plan to revitalize Toronto's dilapidated port district. You can read more here.
