of the Colombian telenovela that inspired “Ugly Betty,” is planning to break ground on a Hollywood-style film studio outside Johannesburg that will boost capacity in one of the world’s hottest shooting locations.
Comprising state-of-the-art studios and backlots, a data center, an innovation hub, and a housing development, the complex will be located 30 miles from Johannesburg and just 10 minutes from an international airport. It will also include a theme park that takes its inspiration from the world-renowned fossil site.
“We are very excited about the Cradle Film Studios, which will create a symbiotic relationship with both the servicing and production side of our business,” said Tshepiso Chikapa Phiri, CEO of Known Associates Entertainment, which last year serviced Universal’s Idris Elba starrer “Beast” and is currently servicing TriStar Pictures’ “The Woman King,” starring Viola Davis and Thuso Mbedu.
Backed by a consortium of investors, Known Associates expects to break ground on the studios in mid-2023.
