Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood has collaborated with Turner Classic Movies (TCM) to create a new Classic Films Tour in honour of TCM’s 30th anniversary. The updated tour offers a journey through the Golden Age of Hollywood, highlighting TCM’s legendary films as well as Warner Bros.’s extensive catalogue.
Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group’s Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy say: “For 100 years, Warner Bros. has stood for the very best in moviemaking and TCM has continued to spotlight the legacy of the studio with incredible program offerings throughout its 30 years. We are thrilled movie lovers from around the world can visit the iconic Burbank lot to experience the TCM Classic Films Tour and celebrate the rich history of the studio’s contributions to cinema.”
Visitors will experience the timeless charm of classic film and the magic of Hollywood’s illustrious past firsthand as they tour the historic Warner Bros. Studio backlot with an emphasis on the studio’s early years.
Showcasing beloved films
The tour delivers a unique and enjoyable experience with highlights including the outside of James Dean’s apartment, where he lived while working on the lot, the peaceful rose garden, which was once Jack Warner’s tennis court and was encircled by talent dressing rooms, and the 1929 Eastwood Scoring Stage, where innumerable titles have been scored.
Visitors will also get the opportunity to see the Property House, which is home to nearly half a million props from television and film, such as the stunning Tiffany’s chandelier from The Letter and the pirate chair from Captain Blood.
Prior to experiencing the magic, guests will enter the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood Welcome Center’s state-of-the-art deluxe screening room, where they can view vintage photos from the Warner Bros. archive and watch a new introduction video featuring TCM hosts Ben Mankiewicz, Eddie Muller, Jacqueline Stewart, Alicia Malone, and Dave Karger.
The TCM hosts will transport guests into the heart of cinematic history and immerse them in iconic classics like Casablanca, The Life of Emile Zola, My Fair Lady, The Music Man, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Blazing Saddles, Giant, and more as they set out on newly-themed TCM Classic Films Tour carts with their knowledgeable guide to take them around their 90-minute backlot tour.
“The partnership with TCM solidifies our commitment to providing unforgettable entertainment experiences to our guests,” says Danny Kahn, vice president and general manager of Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood. “The TCM Classic Films Tour is a natural fit for the Studio Tour. TCM showcases and preserves beloved classic films, and the Studio Tour offers our guests the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of Hollywood legends and connect with their beloved titles.”
