The historic #BrayStudios site has been bought by @AmazonMGMStudio who have been using it most recently for their Lord of the Rings series.

Amazon's Lord of the Rings series looks set to film at the currently upgrading, historic, Bray Studios - one time home of Hammer Films.
Quite the turnaround for the little studio near Windsor.

Two (very rough) composite shots of Bray Studios, home of Hammer Films, in January 1956 (from a @BritishPathe newsreel). The first view shows the main entrance from the A308 (Windsor Road), and the second shows Down Place, at the north end of the driveway, by the River Thames.

Major expansion set for approval at Bray Studios.
Think it's safe to say after 11 years, our main objective has been achieved.

The opening of Ken Russell's The Music Lovers (1971), filmed on the Bray Studios backlot, always makes me think of Hammer's Rasputin, the Mad Monk (1966), with its frosty, wintry Russian sets built on the same spot.
Speaking of Vlad Tepish, Ken Russell was also earmarked to direct Hammer's abandoned Vlad the Impaler in the 1970s too.
While Russell never did work for Hammer, he did shoot his film The Music Lovers at Hammer's former Bray Studios.

Well we might not have foreseen that particular production, but we always attested Bray Studios had more to give the industry.
We've been well and truly vindicated since and the studio currently appears to be growing in strength again.

In the 2010s, when fans were campaigning to save Bray Studios - the home of Hammer horror from 1951 to 1966 - who could have foreseen that by 2019 @hartswoodfilms would be filming a three-part series of Dracula, 60 years after Hammer's adaptation was filmed on the very same site?

Finally regained access to this account!
Good news is, Bray Studios are still standing and in use again, over a decade after the campaign to save them began.
Will try and provide some updates over the coming weeks and months.

There is still a body of interest in maintaining the film studios on an ongoing working basis from the industry.

However, the studio buildings - BRAY STUDIOS itself, are to be demolished and replaced with housing.

We'll post something tomorrow on the website to clarify. The historic listed Down Place house is safe. It is to be turned into private house

Very poorly written & innacurate article on @braystudios from @Daily_Express express.co.uk/news/showbiz/3…. AFAIK Down Place isn't for sale!

The bulldozers could come in at any time, destroying over 60 years of film/music heritage in a heartbeat.
