Information AboutAlbert R. Broccoli's 007 Stage |
|
The stage was originally conceived in 1976 by Production Designer Ken Adam to house the set he had designed for the interior of the Liparus Supertanker in the James Bond film '' The Spy Who Loved Me ''. The stage was christened the "007 Stage" on December 5 , 1976 during a ceremony attended by former British Prime Minister , Harold Wilson . In contrast to the volcano crater set Adam had built for '' You Only Live Twice '' in 1966, the 007 Stage would be a permanent structure that could be rented out to other productions. The stage measures 334ft by 136ft and is 40ft 6ins high. It has a maximum 45,424 sq ft floor space. The stage features a tank measuring 297ft by 73ft by 8ft 10in. The 007 Stage burnt to the ground in 1984 due to gasoline canisters being leftover after filming of Ridley Scott 's '' Legend ''. It was rebuilt 4 months later and renamed "Albert R. Broccoli's 007 Stage" just in time for filming to commence on '' A View To A Kill '' (1985). FILMED IN THE 007 STAGE
