Pinewood Toronto Studios names sound stage in honour of filmmaker Norman Jewison

Pinewood Toronto Studios have named one of their film stages ‘The Norman Jewison Stage’ in honour of the late award-winning filmmaker, Norman Jewison.

The internationally acclaimed producer and director was born in Toronto, Canada in July 1926 and was a bold and creative filmmaker.

His credits include The Russians Are Coming, The Thomas Crown Affair, the groundbreaking civil rights era drama, In the Heat of the Night, Jesus Christ Superstar, Rollerball and Fiddler on the Roof. The latter was filmed at Pinewood Toronto’s sister studio, Pinewood Studios in the UK.

Pinewood Toronto Studios features sixteen purpose-built stages, including one of North America’s largest purpose-built sound stages: the 46,000 sq. ft. (4,274 square metres) Mega Stage.

The stages are soundproofed, clear-span, and equipped with power and supporting infrastructure to accommodate productions of all sizes and budgets.

Pinewood Group fully acquired Pinewood Toronto Studios in May 2023.

Productions made at the Studios include Thanksgiving, Slumberland, It: Chapter Two, The Christmas Chronicles, Star Trek: Discovery, FUBAR, Code 8: Part II, The Madness and Star Trek: Section31
