The
British Crown Estate has reportedly generated
an additional 11.1 per cent of revenue from tourism
largely attributed by awarding Paramount Pictures
permission to feature it's Swinley Forest in their
latest action adventure motion picture Lara Croft:
Tomb Raider.
Swinley
Forest was extravagantly transformed into the
steamy Cambodian rainforest after original scenes
shot in Africa were rejected in the final cut
of the Simon West helmed movie. Although the Crown
Estate remained quiet about the actual fee collected
from Paramount, inflated tourism and a rise in
awareness to be tendered to studios looking for
locations to shoot their productions elevated
last years total income to £147.7 million.
Lara
Croft: Tomb Raider, starring Oscar-winning actress
Angelina Jolie, chronicles the adventures of Core
Design's British aristocrat send of a quest to
recover the ancient Clock Of Ages.
