Warner Bros. Discovery has ended its partnership with Birtcher Development on the planned $8.5 billion studio complex in Nevada. While the studio remains committed to the project, it is seeking new development partners for 'Warner Bros. Studios Nevada'. The original plan, announced in 2023, involved a long-term commitment with an anticipated production spend of $8.5 billion over more than a decade.
Last August, Warner Bros. Discovery unveiled a plan to work with Birtcher Development and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on an ambitious proposal to develop, build and lease a studio lot complex in what was described as a long-term commitment for an $8.5 billion production spend in the state over the course of more than a decade.
That particular vision appears to have hit a speed bump as Warner Bros. confirms that it is no longer working with Birtcher on development of the sprawling studio complex that had been described as a game-changer for feature and television production in the state. However, the studio is said to be evaluating partners for a potential complex for what would be called Warner Bros. Studios Nevada but will be starting over with a new developer.“We remain committed to creating Warner Bros.
Unveiled at the end of last summer, Warner Bros. Studios chief operating officer Simon Robinson described the plan for a studio base in Nevada that would complement its offerings at its 110-acre home base, Burbank, and in Leavesden in the United Kingdom , to be brought up in the state legislature in February of this year that would increase the amount of film and TV tax incentives offered by the state.
“It is important to understand that we have been working in partnership over the last four years with UNLV and the educational consortium, Birtcher Nevada, Organized Labor, and Manhattan Beach Studios, to create a dynamic opportunity for job development, educational opportunity, and economic growth,” stated Senator Lange when asked for comment by.
Brooke Birtcher Gustafson, president of Birtcher Development, added: “We started this journey several years ago with Senator Lange and are engaged with UNLV for the development of the Nevada Studios Media and Technology Lab to advance her vision for education in the film industry sector. We’re sorry that Warner Bros has decided not to move forward with us.
