Tom Cruise film to be shot at Leavesden Studios

A new Tom Cruise film is set to be shot at Leavesden Studios , creating 500 new jobs.

Chancellor George Osbourne made the announcement while speaking at a series of business summits in London, appealing to technology businesses to invest in the UK.

Science fiction thriller All You Need Is Kill, which also stars Emily Blunt, will be made at Warner Brothers' £100m Leavesden Studios, home to the popular Harry Potter attraction.

All You Need Is Kill only received the green light from Warner Brothers last month and is described as a sci-fi version of Groundhog Day.

Mr Cruise will star as a futuristic soldier who becomes caught in a time loop of his last day in battle as he fights a group of invading aliens.

Leavesden Studios has been home to some of the biggest film franchises ever created, including James Bond, Star Wars and Harry Potter.

Warner Bros. representatives are yet to respond.
