UK taxpayers contributed £89m to the most expensive movie ever made
A leafy corner to the west of Watford was transformed into a jungle last year. Authentic-looking exotic flowers lined the floor, tree trunks soared up to an artificial canopy and reeds hung from their branches. Peering between them was Hollywood A-lister Scarlett Johansson. The extravagant construction was a set in Sky Studios Elstree where the movie Jurassic World: Rebirth was being made. Filming there, instead of in an actual jungle, enabled Universal Pictures to pocket millions of pounds of UK taxpayers' money to partially cover its blockbuster costs. Jurassic World: Rebirth, which is released in cinemas in July, is the third movie about dinosaurs that Universal has made in the UK. Recently filed documents reveal that HMRC gave its predecessor, 2022's Jurassic World: Dominion, £89.1m – believed to be the largest payment for a film since the UK government incentive scheme began in 2007. The scheme, designed to drive investment in the UK's film industry, gives studios a reimbursement of up to 25.5% of the sum they spend on making a movie in the UK, provided that at least 10% of its total cost is incurred there. Analysis of more than 400 sets of filings also shows that Dominion was one of the most expensive movies of all time, with total costs of £453.6m, just overtaking the £452m spent on Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015. The £89.1m from the incentive scheme, along with £2.8m from the coronavirus job retention scheme, brought the net cost of making Dominion down to £361.7m. Its 2018 prequel, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, banked a further £70.7m from the scheme, bringing the total to £159.8m for the two. Universal's movie division made combined profits of £3.9bn ($5.2bn) during the time that Dominion was made. The latest data from HMRC shows that, in 2023, it handed a total of £553m to movie studios, bringing the total paid since 2007 to £5.9bn. When it increased the level of tax relief for the film industry about a decade ago, the government noted that 'this measure is expected to have a positive impact on the film industry, but is not expected to have significant wider macroeconomic impacts'. The latest data from the British Film Institute (BFI) shows that, in 2019, every £1 of reimbursement handed to studios generated £8.30 of additional Gross Value Added (GVA) benefit for Britain's economy. It led to a total of £7.7bn in GVA being generated by the film incentives in 2019. Released in December 2021, the BFI's Screen Business report shows that, between 2017 and 2019, the incentives to studios yielded a record £13.5bn of return on investment to Britain's economy and created more jobs than ever before. Filming drives spending on services such as security, equipment hire, transport and catering. In 2019, this spending created 49,845 jobs in London and 19,085 throughout the rest of Britain. Universal alone spent £37.5m on the staff behind Dominion and Fallen Kingdom. Critics, however, have queried the effectiveness of the scheme. Some argue that Britain's filming facilities, talent and landscape are strong enough to attract studios without incentives, so the UK could reap the benefits without the government needing to spend any money. John O'Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, which campaigns for reform of UK taxation , said: 'It's little wonder that the majority of taxpayers feel hard done by when they see the eye-popping sums saved by larger companies. Inward investment is a major boon for the UK but the right balance must be struck.' Sign up to Film Weekly Take a front seat at the cinema with our weekly email filled with all the latest news and all the movie action that matters after newsletter promotion The incentive scheme has made the finances of films more transparent. The cost of movies made in the US is usually a closely guarded secret as studios tend to absorb the cost of individual films in their overall expenses and don't itemise how much was spent on each one. In contrast, studios set up separate companies for movies made in the UK to show more than 10% of the total cost was spent here, in order to qualify for the scheme. The companies have to file annual accounts, which lifts the curtain on everything from staff numbers and salaries to total costs. Dominion starred Chris Pratt, along with Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum – the original cast of the 1993 Oscar-winner Jurassic Park. It was made at the height of the pandemic in 2020, causing the cast to quarantine for five months at the opulent Langley hotel, a former manor home of the third Duke of Marlborough where rooms cost more than £400 a night. William Sargent, chair of London-based visual effects firm Framestore, said: 'The spend happens and taxes are paid a year at least before the government writes a cheque in return.' He added that film industry workers then spend the money they have been paid which, in turn, generates more tax receipts for the government: 'If you follow the actual tax collection against the impact of this onward money, it vastly exceeds the payout.' Universal Pictures was contacted for comment.

Star Wars artist fundraising for colleague who lost sight fighting in Ukraine
An artist who has worked on films and shows, including Star Wars: The Mandalorian, is raising funds for a fellow creative who recently lost his sight fighting in the Ukraine war. Andrey Kozyrenko, a 3D artist from Dnipro, in eastern Ukraine was wounded in December when a drone exploded near his trench, causing him severe eye damage. Mr Kozyrenko, 40, who is recovering in western Ukraine, has had his right eye removed and replaced with a prosthetic. His left eye's retina was damaged, but the optical nerve remains intact with the hope that his vision could be restored in future with possible medical advances. Jama Jurabaev, a London-based concept artist and art director who has collaborated with Mr Kozyrenko over the years, is raising funds to help him to adapt, heal and find new ways to create. 'This is the most terrible thing to happen to an artist,' Mr Jurabaev told the PA news agency. 'To cut off your hand you could deal with that but for an artist losing your eyesight is the worst. 'For artists, it hurts even more, they don't just look at things, they see them. 'He has not just lost his ability to look at something, but I think what hurts even more is him losing his ability to see things.' Mr Jurabaev, who has also worked on Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Disney's live-action adaptation of Aladdin, described his friend and colleague as 'kind, creative, brave and resilient'. The pair, who worked together for Big Medium Small, a visual media company, had stayed in touch throughout the war. 'Since the war started, he wasn't as involved as he was volunteering, helping evacuate people from occupied areas,' said Mr Jurabaev. 'He then decided to join the Ukrainian army as he said I'm either going to be hiding forever, or I could just do my duty for my country, which is what he did.' Since losing his sight, Mr Kozyrenko will not be able to work in the way he used to be able to. 'He might do some form of art, but again it's not going to be what we did before,' said Mr Jurabaev 'I really want to support him, both financially and just spiritually by always being in touch.' Mr Jurabaev is hoping that tech companies might help his friend with future treatments to help restore the sight in his left eye. Meanwhile, the fundraiser is to help him cover basic living costs, therapy, mobility support and tools so that can help him express himself through art again.

ITV pulls Britain's Got Talent with viewers having to wait 'weeks'
ITV has removed Britain's Got Talent from its Saturday night timeslot in a major schedule shake-up with 2015's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom airing in its place. An announcement was made at the end of last Saturday night's BGT show that it wouldn't be back on screens until March 22nd. Despite the new season premiering just a few short weeks ago, fans will have to wait two whole weeks for the competition series to hit the small screen again. Read more: Michael Sheen net worth as star uses own money to write off £1m of people's debts It will not be airing next Sunday either, instead being moved back an entire week to make room for a sporting event. The talent show's usual time has been taken over by Six Nations rugby as Scotland take on France. Following the airing of Wheel of Fortune at 6pm, ITV's usual schedule has been thrown into chaos due to the rugby, with kickoff taking place at 8pm and the broadcast running until 10.35pm. This means that the next episode of the quiz show The 1% Club will also be taken off air. It comes after judges have already hit the Golden Buzzers several times, especially after one nervous singer delivered a moving rendition of Radiohead's Creep. Last week, there was also a mixup for the judges themselves, as Bruno Toniolo was replaced by YouTuber turned rapper, KSI. The star, whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams "'JJ' Olatunji, stepped in to replace his counterpart at some of the auditions while the former Strictly Come Dancing judge was filming Dancing With The Stars in the US. Ahead of joining the show, his co-star Amanda Holden said: "The kids went nuts for him. And I think he's going to bring in a whole generation of people that have perhaps not thought about watching our show before just because they want to see what he brings. And he was also super quick to get on the stage, we couldn't keep him off it! I just know he's going to steal the limelight because he's so good!" KSI himself added:"Once I figured out what makes sense and my place, I kind of just ran with it, and I got more and more comfortable and came into my own."
