    also seen in another film future dystopia - it was the government building in “children of men”

    It’s also on the cover of Pink Floyd’s Animals album. Features a floating pig in the foreground. Children of Men also had the pig, which means they were quoting Floyd.

    It’s not a movie, but it appears as a parallel-world-cybermen-conversion-factory in Dr.Who, The Age of Steel.

  4. The Aardvark Says:

    The design was used for the power plants in “Command and Conquer: Red Alert”

    “Building…building…Construction Complete.”

    Used in Ian McKellan’s “Richard III.” Looks like it’s out in a field.

    In the video “Eugina” by Salt Tank, the station is in the background of a man dressed in black fannying around on top of a British red phone box.
