Village Roadshow Studios are a set of film studios located in Oxenford, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. The studios are owned by Village Roadshow and consist of nine sound stages as well as a range of other production facilities. The studio commenced in June 1991 and is one of three film studios in Australia, the others being Fox Studios and Docklands Studios Melbourne. The studios have been home to countless feature films, telemovies, TV series and miniseries. Recent productions include San Andreas, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Scooby-Doo and House of Wax and Ghost Ship. TV productions have included Terra Nova, BeastMaster and the Lost World series.
Village Roadshow Studios opened in 1986 and was originally built by DEL (Dino DeLaurentis). Village Roadshow purchased the company DEL and took over the facility in 1988. The Studios were built before Movie World in 1991 and they are adjacent to the Warner Bros. Movie World theme park. Despite their physical proximity and operational links, the studios and theme park are separate entities.
The theme park, and the studios' management have no involvement with productions and, as such, do not recommend cast, crew or extras. This is done independently by the production. However, experienced Warner Bros. Movie World staff are often involved in productions filmed at the studios. The studios are not open to the general public and as the productions are independently owned, permission to go on-set can only be obtained from the production itself.
