The new stages at Steiner Studios total 45,000 square feet and Mayor Michael Bloomberg says they will make it possible for the city to compete with Hollywood like never before.
"It used be that we struggled to attract productions to New York City and often they'd instead used other cities like Toronto or Prague to replicate New York," he said. "But now, our studios, I'm happy to say, are booked solid."
