Title: Sad news in Hollywood
Post by: ¿ Jesse Pawman ? on June 02, 2008, 11:20:14 AM
A couple of Universal Studios sets in Hollywood burned to the ground last night. Along with this, a warehouse full of footage archives was also destroyed including the holdings of I Love Lucy.

-New York City streetscape: Used in countless movies and television shows. This set burned once before, in 1990, and was rebuilt.

-King Kong: The King Kong exhibit on the Universal Studios tour. The exhibit included a 30-foot-tall moving model of King Kong.

-Back to the Future set: The town square, including the courthouse area and the clock tower that plays a central role in the film.

-Video vaults: These vaults contained videos of numerous Universal-produced TV series and movies. Firefighters managed to remove some of the videotapes. "Nothing is lost forever," Universal President Ron Meyer said of the videos.

-Soundstage: At least one full soundstage.

-The Universal Studios park is still open.

That's the third fire to hit the BTTF sets.

They're supposed to be rebuilding them though. Well, I dunno about everything that got hit, but I did hear the BTTF parts were being rebuilt at least.
