007 Stage

It is located at Pinewood Studios, Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, England, and named after James Bond film producer Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli.

[1] Rank Organization, owner of the studio lot, agreed to allow the stage's construction, although Eon Productions and United Artists owned it as their only film production property, and hoped to recoup the cost by renting it to others; in contrast to the volcano crater set Adam had built for You Only Live Twice in 1966, the 007 Stage was to be a permanent structure.

During a ceremony attended by former British Prime Minister Harold Wilson, Roger Moore and other The Spy Who Loved Me actors, and many actors who had worked at Pinewood including Hayley Mills and Kenneth More, Broccoli's wife Dana christened the stage by breaking a champagne bottle on one of the submarines in the film[2] on 5 December 1976.

[4] It was rebuilt, and reopened in January 1985,[5] with the new name, "Albert R. Broccoli 007 Stage", in time for filming to commence on A View to a Kill (1985).

[5] The fire occurred just after production ended on the Bond film Casino Royale while the Venetian piazza set was being dismantled.

[6] On 31 July 2006, Pinewood issued a statement indicating that the stage "will need to be demolished and rebuilt" and that there had been no casualties in the incident.
