The studio was shut down in October 2012 in preparation for its sale. In 2009 there was a project to shoot a film with Tim Roth called King Conqueror in whose cast was included Thomas Kretcheman, Juan Diego Botto, Gabino Diego, Violante Placido and Kata Dobó, however this film was never made due to economic problems.2
