Universal Studios is updating an attraction for a movie that hasn’t yet been released
Common Studios Hollywood is thought for theme park points of interest that pay homage to films which have been fan favorites for years.
The park’s Studio Tour attraction contains film scenes from Steven Spielberg’s 2005 “Conflict of the Worlds,” the creepy home from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 “Psycho” and Courthouse Sq. from Robert Zemeckis’ 1985 “Again to the Future.”
However Common Studios plans to interrupt that routine later this month by including a scene from a film that can open to the general public on the identical day the brand new attraction opens within the park.
In Hollywood, it’s known as cross promotion. Within the theme park world, it’s a once-rare incidence that’s changing into extra frequent.
Final yr, Disneyland accomplished and opened an overhaul of its Jungle Cruise attraction across the similar time the Disney film “Jungle Cruise” was opening in theaters. Just a few months after Jordan Peele’s 2019 horror film, “Us,” was launched by Common Photos, Common Studios Hollywood added a Halloween attraction to its annual Halloween Horror Nights occasion. At Disney California Journey Park, a 12-acre enlargement known as Automobiles Land opened in 2012, a yr after the Disney Pixar sequel, “Automobiles 2,” opened in theaters.
The most recent Common Photos film directed by Peele, “Nope,” is about to open July 22. A scene from the film will likely be added that day to the Studio Tour attraction that offers parkgoers a tram experience by way of a number of film units, together with the 1975 traditional “Jaws.”
The trams will drive previous what is thought in “Nope” as Jupiter’s Declare, a family-fun theme park that turns into a pivotal location because the horror movie’s characters examine unexplained phenomena. No present scene will likely be faraway from the tram experience to make manner for the most recent addition, based on park representatives.
Peele’s three films, together with “Get Out,” had been produced by way of Common Photos, a subsidiary of the corporate that operates Common Studios Hollywood.
