Plans For Plymouth Movie Studio Hit Snag

PLYMOUTH (AP) ― The developers of a proposed $300 million movie studio in Plymouth are looking for a new site for the project after land title problems stalled plans at the original site.

The project was originally planned for 1,000 acres of town-owned land off Route 25 near the Bourne Bridge.

Studio development coordinator William Wynne says Plymouth Rock Studios is now looking at nine alternate sites, all within Plymouth County, seven within Plymouth itself.

Developers have proposed a 1.5-million-square-foot movie and TV studio that would include 14 sound stages, two lots for outdoor sets, a special effects studio, an arts school, stores, restaurants, a performing arts center, athletic fields, a hotel and a movie theme park.

The goal is to have the studio up and running by 2011.
