Production Service in Iceland
Paramount, Skydance, Bad Robot | Star Trek, The Future Begins
The black sand beach on our south coast featured prominently in 2007 shooting of this Star Trek. A total of 37 visiting crew from the US and 9 from the UK – no visa required – worked alongside 55 local crew we provided. Another 4 local talent joined the 18 visiting talent as part of the story shot over 18 days in Iceland.
A 14% incentive (now raised to 25% tax rebate) provided notable savings to the €5-6 million local spend.
