Expensive Production
WITH Alexander Korda’s production - VV of the H. G. Wells story, “Things to Come,” in its final stages of cutting and editing, the cost of the picture is revealed as in excess of £300,000. It represents one of the highest budgets for a film production made outside of Hollywood. The principal item in the cost was the construction and the subsequent destruction of a whole city, followed by a complete rebuilding on a vastly imaginative scale. A greater number of players was used in “Things to Come” than in any other production ever made in England. Designs of costumes and setting enlisted the aid of some of Europe’s foremost artists. “Things to Come” will be released by United Artists.
