[16.35 - French Time] Read on The Hollywood Reporter. Warner Bros. aims to buy and refurbish the movie production facilities of U.K. Leavesden Studios.

Leavesden Studios, situated at Leavesden Park (Watford, Hertfordshire) has gained an international reputation with major blockbuster films including Pierce Brosnan's first 007 movie GoldenEye, Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace, and for ten years the Harry Potter series .

The multi-million dollar plan has been submitted to local councils and includes a Harry Potter set visit tour. Last year Hollywood doubled its investment in the United Kingdom (http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/hollywood-doubled-2009-uk-film-investment/#more-22911).
