The Tour

Well being my first week in town i have decided to do all i can to get my feet wet to the BIZ... so my aunt, long time Culver City resident, got me free tickets to get a tour of the Sony Pictures Studios that is litterally 3 blocks from her house. So i spent my morning following the tour guide and about twenty other, mostly international tourists through the back lots of Sony.



For those of you wondering "HAVE YOU MET ANY STARS YET?" today was my best chance for that... so here's the story.

We began the tour by watching a promo video for all of the great achievements that Sony Picture studios has a achieved.. not bad, but was ready to move on.


We got out onto the actual back lot where they had filmed a lot of movies such as Spiderman 1,2,3.. Indiana Jones 4, Wizard of Oz, and about a BAZILLION more. We were able to see a lot of places that our tour guide refered to from movies... kinda makes you want to go back through the movies and see those places you've been to now.

Our tour went past the JEOPARDY soundstage (but they were filming so we couldnt see in) but we acctually got to go into the sets of WHEEL OF FORTUNE (you're jealous), the new show RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, ANGELS AND DEMONS (the sequel to the Davinci Code), RIANNAH and CHRIS BROWN's new movie... something about a shoot up at a hotel.. they are still filming it, and one other show that i cant remember because i have never heard of it.

As for MOVIE STARS... On the lot that day was HEIDI KLUM and KOBE BRYANT who were shooting a commercial for Guitar Hero. We waited by their stage for a bit but no one came out. and ADAM SANDLER! his production companty "happy girlmore productions" is located on the back lot. our tour guide said that he comes out a lot when he sees the tour to say hi, but he didnt do that today.. which sucked. So no real movie star sightings as of yet, but saw a LOT of props from movies and a lot of soundstages that a lot of good movies were filmed in.

And i dont have any pictures for you guys because they wouldnt let us take pictures except on this one little section and there was nothing there worth taking pictures of!... BUT i do have a second ticket for the tour so i'm thinking about waiting a month and then going again and maybe things will have changed a bit.. SWEETNEES!
