Will Cohen, Group Director Mill Film, said; “We have a great working relationship with Tom and we were incredibly excited to have the opportunity to be involved with The Damned United. It was a fun and challenging experience to recreate the interior of the iconic Wembley Stadium from the early 70s as well as creating the Massive Crowd scenes”. |
