Financial Success:
The success of Working Title’s formula ('Notting Hill' grossed $374,089,678 worldwide) of using slightly romanticised depictions of Britain and British life coupled with the use of international stars such as Julia Roberts and Renee Zellweger to appeal to an international audience has, in some ways both being of great benefit and great detriment to the British film industry.
How did they effect the representation of the UK Film Industry?
