Hollywood aims to reclaim crown as world film capital

Los Angeles famously calls itself the Entertainment Capital of the World. But the reality is, many filmmakers have long since fled to cheaper locations in London, New York, Canada and elsewhere.

The United States remains the country with the biggest major productions (70 out of 108 in a survey last year), ahead of Canada (15) and the United Kingdom (12). France hosted one.
In terms of cities, London is at the top of the global league table, currently hosting eight of the 10 biggest movies at its state-of-the-art studios like Pinewood. It is followed by Vancouver, New York and Paris.
Even within the US, California lags behind Louisiana, which played host to 18 of the 108 biggest films last year. New York and Georgia are also snapping at the Golden States heels.
Over the last 15 years, film production has slumped by nearly 50 percent in California, once the cradle of the worlds biggest film industry.
Last year, the vast western US state played host to only eight percent of the biggest 25 film productions of the year, excluding animated movies.
The new Star Wars movie is being shot in London, Pierce Brosnans latest crime thriller November Man was filmed in Zagreb, while French director Luc Besson went to Taiwan to make Lucy with Scarlett Johansson.
The productions are huge money-spinners for the cities and countries which host them: last year the 108 biggest films generated some $7.6 billion in local spending and tens of thousands of well-paid jobs, according to Film LA.
