Pinewood Studios has named one of its new sound stages in honour of the late Sir Sean Connery. The Sean Connery Stage is an 18,000 sq ft purpose-built sound stage and is one of five new stages opening on the Pinewood Studios lot.

Connery’s history with Pinewood and Shepperton Studios extends beyond the James Bond films. He returned numerous times between 1957 and 1999, for Hell Drivers (1957); On the Fiddle (1961) at Shepperton; Woman of Straw (1964) at Pinewood; The Russia House (1990) Pinewood; Robin Hood – Prince of Thieves (1991) Shepperton; First Knight (1995) Pinewood; and Entrapment (1999) at both Pinewood and Shepperton.

On behalf of the Connery family, Stephane and Jason Connery said: “Our family consider it a great honour to have a stage named after Sean. It is fitting considering the amount of time Sean spent at Pinewood and we know that he would have been very touched by this privilege.”

Pinewood Group chairman, Paul Golding, added: “We are delighted to announce that one of our five new sound stages at Pinewood Studios will be named The Sean Connery Stage. The revered actor, and original James Bond, had a life-long connection with both Pinewood and Shepperton Studios. It is fitting that the naming ceremony will take place in 2022, the 60th anniversary year of the James Bond films.”

  • A truly brilliant event. It was absolutely buzzing with excitement, innovations, and incredibly interesting and insightful stories. With sessions ranging from sustainability to virtual production, XR, the talent gap, and accessibility and inclusion in production, it’s become the UK media and tech show to attend for anything content creation and should not be missed.
