Spain’s largest and newest virtual studio has opened and its boss has told Deadline the first clients will walk through its doors this week and the first movie project is scheduled for October.
The Coruña Immersive Studio is located in La Coruña, Galicia, in the northwest of Spain. It is situated within the Ciudad de las TIC technology park. The virtual studio spans 750 square meters and is equipped with immersive tech to create hyper-realistic environments. It is one of the most advanced virtual soundstages in Europe.
The virtual complex is managed by Pedralonga Studios, a company encompassing various media entities in Galicia including local film and TV outfits and the University of Coruña. It is building two traditional soundstages, which will open in 2026. The launch of these, alongside the new virtual studio, position Galicia as a burgeoning European production hub for film and TV production.
José Manuel Deus, Managing Director of Pedralonga Studios, told Deadline that an advertising project will be the first to grace the virtual studio when it shoots next week. Then, later in October, several sequences of an unspecified movie will be filmed there.
The Pedralonga team were pressing the flesh at the San Sebastian Film Festival last month and again at the Iberseries confab in Madrid this week. After a presentation to industry execs and producers, Manuel Deus told us that the vision for the new virtual studio is to designed to service domestic players, but also to entice clients from international markets.
The virtual studio was funded by a mix of private and public money. The wider context is the push by national and local authorities, and the wider industry, in Spain to position the country as “the Hollywood of Europe.”
Pedralongo Studios’ upcoming soundstages will be 2,500 and 2,000 square meters respectively, and will come on stream in 2026.
