Pinewood Studios on Fire!

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Pinewood Studios in London, the set of all the Bond movies including the new movie Casino Royale has been heavily damaged in a fire earlier this morning. It's unknown as of yet if filming had been completed or not, and if it hasn't then it certainly puts the release date of November in doubt.

Pinewood has been the main set for many historic films in it's time including Superman, Batman, Alien, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Olivier Twist, Full Metal Jacket and many many more. Looking at the the footage, their seems to be alot of damage caused by the fire, probably meaning that it will have to be knocked down and rebuilt.
