Filmed At Sky Studios Elstree: Wicked

Early last year, Sky Studios Elstree welcomed its first production, Wicked. Featuring Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, Ariana Grande as Glinda and a star-studded cast the long-awaited adaptation of the beloved musical will be hitting the big screen in November. 

Speaking on the experience of filming at Sky Studios Elstree, Marc Platt, Producer said “We built huge, impressively detailed sets on the brand-new stages at Sky Studios Elstree, which provided the perfect studio environment for the shoot, with the bonus of it being in close proximity to London. With over 3,000 roles employed behind the camera, it was fantastic that some of these could be filled by the freelance film community living within the local area, as well as opportunities for trainees to learn and develop their skills. 

The sustainability ambitions of the site were also significant, and to know there were thousands of solar panels on the rooftops and other renewable energy sources helping to power our production was important.  We cannot wait for the world to see the Wicked movies and the magic that was created at Sky Studios Elstree.”

Noel Tovey, MD Sky Studios Elstree said “It was such a privilege to welcome Wicked as the first film production at Sky Studios Elstree and the biggest production filmed in the last decade. Having both part one and two filmed simultaneously onsite shows the studios ability to host large-scale major motion pictures and I look forward to seeing the finished project.”

Paddington in Peru, Jurassic 4 and the Bridget Jones sequel are upcoming #FilmedAtSkyStudiosElstree films. Read more about these productions on our news page and on socials.
