Malta Launches Open Call for Submissions to Finish the Country’s Ambitious Land-Sea Super Stage

Earlier this summer during the Mediterrane Film Festival, Malta’s film commissioner Johann Grech teased plans for an ambitious new soundstage, dubbed the Land Sea Super Stage. Housed at Malta Film Studios, the facility could host major Hollywood blockbusters with blueprints that include a water tank and construction sturdy enough to hang two Black Hawk helicopters.

We want to create something unique ,” Grech told The Hollywood Reporter in June. “To build the entire facility — in addition to the soundstage, there will be workshops, offices, production offices, warehouses, etc. — it will take two years. We have every detail in place. We just need to issue this public call.” Related Stories Movies 'The Odyssey' Conquers 'Jurassic World' to Become Universal's Highest-Grossing Film Ever Movies Malta Film Commissioner Johann Grech Has an Ambitious Plan to Lure More Blockbusters: A Land Sea Super Stage

Grech is back with an update: The call has been made and Malta is now accepting proposals for investments to finance, build and operate the first-of-its-kind superstudio. Per the Malta Film Commission , the project would see more than €80 million in private investment in Malta’s film industry.
