The London mayor, Sadiq Khan, has said he wants London to take over from Los Angeles as one of the film capitals of the world and attract the diverse industry talent who no longer feel welcome in Donald Trump’s America.
Khan also warned that despite a “golden decade”, Brexit presented a challenge to London maintaining its position as a global hub for film-making.
If it’s the case that Donald Trump’s policies are leading those people to leave America, they are welcome here.”
Khan said: “Film-makers, those involved in this industry, will have seen what Donald trump has said.
