The Warner Bros Studio Tour Hollywood has announced the launch of a new tour experience celebrating 30 years of Turner Classic Movies (TCM).
Turning 30 years old this month, TCM has partnered with Warner Bros Studio Tour Hollywood on the experience, which is called TCM Classic Films Tour and opened on April 16.
The tour, says the studio, takes guests on a journey through the Golden Age of Hollywood, celebrating iconic movies featured on TCM, as well as showcasing the titles from the Warner Bros library.
“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 programme offerings throughout its 30 years,” said Warner Bros Motion Picture Group’s Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy.
“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.”
Ahead of their tour, guests enter the state-of-the-art deluxe screening room, where they will see historical photographs from the Warner Bros archive and watch a special video from the hosts of TCM.
As guests tour the lot over three and a half hours, the TCM hosts, alongside an expert guide, will take them through cinematic history, immersing them in classics such as Casablanca and My Fair Lady.
The tour itself visits pieces of classic cinema history, including the apartment where James Dean lived while working on the lot. Guests also get to see Jack Warner’s tennis court, and will get a look at the Eastwood Scoring Stage which was built in 1929 and has been the location for the scoring of countless classics. There is also a stop at the Property House, which houses over a half-million television and movie props from films throughout the decades.
“The partnership with TCM solidifies our commitment to providing unforgettable entertainment experiences to our guests,” said Danny Kahn, vice president and general manager of Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood.
“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.”
