BROOKLYN STUDIO BIDS TO RIVAL HOLLYWOOD
By PATRICK GALLAHUE
Brooklyn movie moguls are pushing to double or even triple the size of the waterfront Steiner Studios — making the city's so-called Hollywood East a Los Angeles rival.
Sources said honchos with Brooklyn's year-old, $120 million Steiner Studios are talking with the city to grow from a five-stage, 15-acre facility into as many as 50 acres.
"We hope to have a Universal [Studios] or Sony-style lot like L.A.," said Chairman Douglas Steiner
But Brooklyn's back lot may face an uphill battle to expand. The city has available land, but it's mostly on the other side of the 300-acre Navy Yard.
