Dominican Pinewood studio picks up two films
A movie starring Vin Diesel, The Return of Xander Cage, will be shot mostly in Toronto, but the production is adding additional filming at Pinewood Studios in Juan Dolio, about 40 minutes east of Santo Domingo.
According to a statement, it will be using the studio's eight-acre Horizon water tank and Pinewood will also provide production services for the film.
In the movie government operative Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) is coming out of his self-imposed exile and finds himself on a collision course with deadly alpha warrior Xiang and his team in a race to recover a sinister and seemingly unstoppable weapon known as Pandora's Box.
The studio says that the film will feature some of the most mindblowing stunts ever seen on film. Last week, Netflix announced plans to use Pinewood DR to film a new action comedy series.
