Default A visit to the Warner Bros. Studios

Last week we spent a few hours touring the Warner Bros. Studios including set and stage visits, prop area visits (limited), car exhibit and of course, the Warner Museum!

From the prop/wardrobe point of view, the most stunning stuff on display was obviously at the Museum, last stop and pretty amazing stuff. Unfortunately no pics were allowed.

We had the luck to spot and even touch...

- The complete hero Leonidas, Queen Gorgo and Immortal outfits from 300
- The complete hero Nathan Algren Samurai Outfit from The Last Samurai
- Complete hero sets for Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and the Agents from The Matrix
- The "bug" extractor and bug "pills" from The Matrix
- Complete hero sets for Friends guys (Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, Chaendler, Joey and Ross)
- FX LED suit from Watchmen
- Complete Rorsach suit from Watchmen
- Complete hero outfit of Will Smith in I Am Legend
- An AMAZING, BIG, ENORMOUS Corpse Bride diorama with the two main characters
- Other misc props, wardrobe and pieces, like Bruce Lee pants and letters sent to one of the Bros., misc. production Items,etc.

That was for FIRST FLOOR alone! Second floor is flooded with TONS of Harry Potter outfits and props, including candies, frozen Hermione, signed books, bus bed, etc.


We also toured the live stages for the Big Bang Theory and The Mentalist (awesome stuff!) and pictured Friends' Central Perk (the only stage rebuilt in the Props Dept. Area remaining from the show).

They also tour you the set. dec. Department (we truly missed touring the actual PROPS department!) where you can see literaly billions of different lights, lamps and set dec pieces...

And obviously the 3 main "fake" streets and fake "jungle/woods" which have been used in tons of films and shows including Spider-man 2, The Mask, The Last Samurai, Sex and the City (yes, other companies also hire WB spaces ), Jurassic Park, Million Dollar Baby, etc.

Really a nice insight of the real deal from another point of view.

There was also a very nice exhibit of movie vehicles, all of them pictured for your viewing pleasure!

Feel free to ask any questions about the pics. We'll do our best to answer!

Cheers!
