New Jersey Approves Massive Studio Complex In Bayonne As State Pushes To Attract Production
New Jersey's economic development council approved a massive studio complex with a special tax credit designation in ongoing push to lure production.
Called 1888 Studios, after the year New Jersey-native Thomas Edison filed a patent for the motion picture camera, the 1.5 million square feet structure designed by architecture firm Gensler to evoke imagery of Golden Age Hollywood, will span 55 acres and include comprehensive on-site production services, as well as a waterfront park and promenade accessible to the public. Busson, who was engaged to Uma Thurman years some ago before the couple split, has dabbled in film financing, the last project being Walter Salles 2012 On The Road, an adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s iconic Beat Generation novel. “The designation of 1888 Studios as a Film-Lease Partner Facility will open the door for more production companies to film in New Jersey, helping to support local small businesses and communities and create thousands of good-paying jobs.”
