TESTIMONIALS
Swept Away (2001)
"The Maltese are trustworthy. Malta is inexpensive and the labour is good. Not only that, the locals are just plain fun. It’s been a case of home away from home here."
Guy Ritchie
DirectorSingle Handed (1953)
"The Mediterranean is as blue as an angel’s eyes, warm, and so clear that you can watch a veiled tropical fish weaving round a thousand feet below the surface."
Jeffery Hunter
ActorThe Whale (2013)
"You just can’t find places like this in the UK. It’s difficult to act plausibly in front to a green screen. Malta delivers all these amazing locations that only add to the atmosphere of the film."
Jonas Armstrong
ActorThe Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
"I was pretty sceptical that we were going to find anything even approaching the look we need, until we saw Malta"
Kevin Reynolds
DirectorCan Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness? (1969)
"Malta has the finest photographing light of practically anywhere in the world…it’s so sharp and haze free it almost gives the picture a third-dimensional effect"
Otto Heller
CinematographerPaul Apostle of Christ (2018)
"Malta is the most unique place I have ever shot in"
David Zelon
ProducerNapoleon (2023)
“No door is closed. No request is too much. They really have supported us from start to finish.”
Aidan Elliott
Executive ProducerPrizefighter: The Life of Jem Belcher (2022)
“From an aesthetic point of view, Malta really suits me. It suited me back then and I fell in love with the place, and being here a second time is quite unbelievable.”
Russell Crowe
ActorThe Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)
“It’s the persistence that pushes us to make films and tell the stories that we love and we’re thrilled to find that same spirit in the crew and everyone here in Malta.”
Bradley J. Fischer
ProducerJurassic World: Dominion (2022)
“So many incredible films have been shot here. It just shows what a unique, rich history Malta has.”
Bryce Dallas Howard
ActorFoundation (2021)
“The Maltese people and the Film Commission have been absolutely incredible.”
David S. Goyer
Executive ProducerThe Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)
“The facilities that have been provided to us have been world class. The tank and its infinity line has proved to be invaluable to us.”
Matt Hirsch
Executive ProducerAssassin’s Creed (2016)
“When you add everything up, Malta was really a perfect place for us to come. The support that we’ve had here has been fantastic.”
Frank Marshall
ProducerNapoleon (2023)
“The quality, the depth and the commitment of the local crew here is second to none.”
Aidan Elliott
Executive ProducerThe Mercy (2018)
“Malta obviously suited our needs in so many ways, because they have this extraordinary tank, and the word ‘tank’ doesn’t really tell a story as to what it is. It’s a big infinity pool with the sea at the end of it. If you’re shooting on boats, I don’t think you could be in a better environment really.”
Colin Firth
ActorWhite Squall (1996)
“What we got out of Malta was terrific. It’s very much a studio situation and it’s the best water facility I know of.”
Sir Ridley Scott
DirectorGladiator (2000)
Fort Ricasoli offered us the space, and it was enclosed by these ancient-looking stone walls with arches and some building we eventually did interiors in. We created a kind of Roman backlot.”
Arthur Max
Production DesignerMunich (2005)
“We used a lot of locally based people. We had great crews who were both experienced and enthusiastic.”
Kathleen Kennedy
ProducerQueen of the South (2018)
“There is a very supportive film commission and a strong base of film history. You have a great infrastructure of Maltese craftsmen.”
