Hollywood Crosses the Pond
Eshe Nelson�� Reporting from Liverpool, England
Mr. Lunt recalls watching a Batman stunt double launch himself off the top of one of the Liver Building’s towers. “It was very, very exciting,” he said.
Liverpool is used to being a stand-in for American cities. It is 1920s New York in “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” and the Brooklyn docks in “Captain America: The First Avenger.”
More than 80 percent of the record amount spent in 2021 on film and high-end TV productions in Britain is from American and other overseas production companies.
