"Particularly visual effects. We are acknowledged to be the equal of America in terms of visual effects," he said.

Kenworthy noted that four British visual effects companies work on almost every big Hollywood movie. Besides, scores of movies are adapted from British novels.

"On a large scale, what we are very good at is, nearly all of these big franchise films came from British novels michael kors selma tote bag tan , such as the Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia,Sherlock Holmes."

"I guess the biggest franchise is James Bond ... It's an extraordinary achievement to keep franchise going for 50 years with so many films. Certainly the biggest English success story," the producer added.

However, he said he was worried that British films are now " existing in the shadow of the American industry" despite its glorious history.

"We depend a lot on the American money to go into our films, which means we have to cater to not only British audience, but also American audience as well. We have a dual perspective michael kors selma tote uk , not like the case in China which has a huge market," Kenworthy said. The producer expressed the belief that more education will help British and Chinese audiences to learn more about each other's films. It takes time to change from feeling strange to appreciating the differences, he said.
