Hollywood giant Warner Bros has announced its acquisition of De Lane Gea, the British sound making and post-production facility, for an undisclosed sum.
The London based firm has recently completed work on the latest James Bond flick, Skyfall, and boasts a range of big budget movies under its belt, notably Prometheus, Dark Shadows and Frankenweenie.
The deal will allow Warner Bros in the UK to offer the same level of film production services as its parent firm headquartered in California and will see the firm renamed as Warner Bros. De Lane Lea in the coming weeks.
Josh Berger CBE, President and Managing Director, Warner Bros. UK, Ireland and Spain said: "Just five months on from the opening of Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, this latest acquisition is further evidence of our commitment to the UK film industry and the world-leading Greater London media cluster.
“Through its many years of operating, De Lane Lea has earned a power-house reputation for servicing tent-pole movies for us and other studios and, as we look to invest in the facility in the coming months and years, this standing can only grow even further."
