Here's a little clip about the MASSIVE £330,000,000 film studio being built on a former slate quarry in Llanilid, WALES.
It's called Dragon International Film Studios, but it's more affectionately referred to as "VALLEYWOOD"..
Here's a bit more information here:

It's being financed primarily by Sir Richard Attenborough, but it's been plagued with problems; Sewage problems, zoning problems, funding problems, wildlife culling, etc. But when it finally does get built (which will be EXCITING!), it is meant to serve as an alternative to filming in the more expensive and saturated film market of LONDON... And it is also meant to focus on more on Welsh talent (which I hope will be a realized and brought to an international level) of acting and film production.
