The popular Game of Thrones series has been here since 2011, Star Wars: Episode VIII used the white polished slabs of the Stradun as its set, the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster Robin Hood: Origins was filmed in early 2017, and in 2018, will welcome filming of the 25th installment of the James Bond spy thriller series.
