Plans for a giant film studio in Marratxi are still going ahead despite the change in government. The Council of Mallorca confirmed that the project should be completed by 2026. The project will be financed with funds from the European Union,
The project is being backed by the Council of Mallorca with the support of the Mallorca Film Commission.
Not only with the film studio be built on a 5,000 square metre site it will also a include a water filming tank. The announcement comes after the successful filming of a number of films and series on the island including Lioness starring Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman, parts of Series 5 and 6 of the Netflix series, The Crown, and the Hollywood film, Hustle starring Adam Sandler. The local authorities say that scores of international movie production companies want to film on the island.
The Marratxi Council has already given the green light to the project and building work will start shortly. The fact that the studios will have a Water Tank will also give the project an even further lift.

The majority of productions made here use Mallorca’s geography as its backdrop. That’s why they’re here. They don’t come here because of the studio resources, technical expertise or tax break cost benefits. It’s Mallorca itself. Having quality studios is a good idea though but this has a ring of white elephant about it.
