    BRITISH film production soared 35 per cent to almost £1.5 billion (S$3 billion) during 2014 as tax breaks lured stars from Tom Cruise to Scarlett Johansson to the city.

    London alone accounted for £1 billion of production spending, eclipsing France's 994 million euros (S$1.5 billion) or Italy, where 400 million euros were spent in 2013, the latest figure available.
