Filmmakers with a background in Hollywood blockbusters are behind the scheme. Screenwriter and director Sean Robinson – whose credits include smash-hit movies such as Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner, and Mel Gibson’s Hamlet – has joined forces with producer Tyrone Edwards to form Dignus Films. The new company applied alongside hangar owners the Science Museum Group for permission to transform a 55,000 sq ft building at Wroughton Airfield into a centre of film production. They say 10 feature-length films would be shot there over the course of 12 years. Swindon Borough Council’s planning department approved the proposal. The hangar already had permission as a storage centre and warehouse.
