Tom Cruise, Scarlett Johansson, Kiefer Sutherland, Dam Judy Dench, Kevin Costner, and Benedict Cumberbatch have all filmed in Hampshire over the past year

Film buffs could have mistaken the county for Hollywood as 11 feature films and five high profile television productions were shot in Hampshire during 2014.

Key productions include Mission Impossible 5, Pride and Prejudice, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, 24: Live Another Day, Criminal, Wolf Hall, and Downton Abbey.

Tom Cruise, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Costner, Scarlett Johansson, Dame Judy Dench and Benedict Cumberbatch have filmed in Hampshire over the past year.

It has all been made possible by Film Hampshire, which promotes Hampshire's unique character and historic appeal to attract film crews to the area.

More than £8.5million of production spend was brought into Hampshire as a result, boosting the local economy.

Film Hampshire is part of Hampshire County Council's economic development service and attracts top blockbusting productions to the area.

So far they have identified some 400 film locations including historic country houses, parks and acres of woodland.

Film crews that are based in Hampshire also benefit from the excellent domestic and international transport links, a wealth of historical connections, local expertise and an extensive network of contacts.

In addition, a large number of locally-based companies provide services to the creative industries.

Executive member for transport, economy and environment Cllr Seán Woodward said: “Film Hampshire have done an outstanding job in 2014 attracting many high profile productions into the county which has a positive effect on our economy, with film crews staying and spending money locally as well as publicising Hampshire to support our tourism industry.

"Tourism plays a vital role in Hampshire generating well over £3 billion each year from visitors coming into Hampshire, and providing more than 60,000 jobs.”
