China/USA: Start of Design Process for New “Enlight Movie World“ Entertainment Complex in China
Spanning an area of over 263 hectares (651 acres), the “Enlight Movie World“ is a large-scale entertainment project currently in the planning phase, which will be realized in the East Chinese city of Yangzhou, Jiangsu province. The privately-owned television and film production company Beijing Enlight Media has recently commissioned the California-based company of Legacy Entertainment with the design planning for the “Enlight Epicenter“, the first phase of the project including leisure and entertainment offerings. This “epicenter“ will offer visitors numerous experiences and attractions based on Enlight’s animated film properties. In addition, there will be dining and retail experiences, “Art Gardens“ as well as an FEC.
Eric Carnagey, Managing Director and co-owner of Legacy Entertainment, comments: “It is an honor to collaborate with the Enlight team on such a great project. [...] We get a unique chance to imagine and create the ‘film studio and movie theme park of tomorrow’ [...].“ The total investment for the “Enlight Movie World“, which will also integrate a television and film production studio at a later stage, is estimated at more than two billion euros (around 2.5 billion US dollars).
