LONDON (AP) - As Keira Knightley gazes out from hundreds of posters across the country advertising the local-grown hit "Pride and Prejudice," the casual observer could be forgiven for thinking the British film industry is booming.

While Knightley and her co-stars spent months filming on location in England, other major film productions, including the Roman Polanski-directed "Oliver Twist" and potentially, future installments of both the Harry Potter and James Bond series have decamped overseas amid wrangling over the country's tax system and spiraling costs.
