===Sound stages=== Twickenham Film Studios has three stages that are sound-proofed and operate on a 'four wall' basis. Dressing rooms, star apartments, make-up, hairdressing and wardrobe departments and camera rooms are situated adjacent to each stage, with nearby prop rooms, art departments and office suites. The largest, Stage 1, has a concrete water tank, housed underneath the floor boards. A camera pit at one end allows underwater viewing through a glass screen. This stage has been used for innumerable films, including the two Beatles films ''A Hard Day's Night'' and ''Help!'', ''[[An American Werewolf in London]]'' (1981) and ''[[A Fish Called Wanda]]'' (1988). Kenneth Branagh's ''[[Sleuth (2007 film)|Sleuth]]'' (2007) was shot on this stage. Films shot on Stage 3 include Roman Polanski's ''[[Repulsion (film)|Repulsion]]'', Karel Reisz's ''[[The French Lieutenant's Woman]]'' (1981), and Lewis Gilbert's ''[[Shirley Valentine]]'' (1989). Later films include ''[[Layer Cake (film)|Layer Cake]]'' (2004), directed by Matthew Vaughn, and ''[[Love in the Time of Cholera (film)|Love in the Time of Cholera]]'' (2007), directed by Mike Newell. The thriller ''[[Before I Go to Sleep (film)|Before I Go To Sleep]]'' (2014), written and directed by [[Rowan Joffé]], which features [[Nicole Kidman]] and [[Colin Firth]], was shot at the studios early in 2013.<ref>[https://www.empireonline.com/news/feed.asp?NID=36433 Empire Online: Colin Firth Joins Before I Go To Sleep, A reunion with Nicole Kidman] Written by James White, 7 February 2013.
