Steiner Studios, ‘Hollywood East,’ Expands Facilities
BROOKLYN NAVY YARD — Mr. Popper’s Penguins, Revolutionary Road, Sex and the City, American Gangster, Spiderman 3, the Nanny Diaries and The Inside Man are just a few of the major motion pictures that were filmed, at least in part, at Steiner Studios in the Brooklyn Navy Yard – not to mention TV shows like “Boardwalk Empire” and “Damages.”
On Monday Mayor Michael Bloomberg and NYC Media and Entertainment Commissioner Katherine Oliver joined Steiner Studios Chairman Doug Steiner to open five new soundstages at the complex, ensuring its status as a major entertainment production center for years to come. The new stages total 45,000 square feet.
“The business of film, television and commercials wants to be in New York City,” said Steiner. “We have the greatest crews in the world, and now we have the facilities to match. Old media is here, new media is coming. This is manufacturing for the 21st century, and it is a business that New York does exceedingly well.”
