Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood Launches TCM Classic Films Tour
Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood is partnering with Turner Classic Movies (TCM) to launch a brand new TCM Classic Films Tour for TCM’s 30th anniversary in April 2024. The enhanced tour takes you on an incredible journey through the Golden Age of Hollywood, celebrating iconic movies featured on TCM as well as showcasing the breadth of the Warner Bros. library.
On the tour, you will explore the historic Warner Bros. Studio backlot with a focus on the studio’s early days, delving into the timeless allure of classic cinema and feeling the magic of Hollywood’s rich history firsthand. New points of interest include:
- The exterior of James Dean’s apartment where he resided while working on the lot;
- The serene rose garden, which in the early years was Jack Warner’s tennis court and was surrounded by talent dressing rooms;
- The Eastwood Scoring Stage built in 1929, where countless titles have been scored.
Newly featured also includes a stop at the Property House, which houses over a half-million television and movie props, including the pirate chair from Captain Blood and the breathtaking Tiffany’s chandelier from The Letter.
Before stepping into the magic, you will enter the state-of-the-art deluxe screening room, located at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood Welcome Center, to admire historical photographs from the Warner Bros. archive and enjoy a newly curated introduction video from the hosts of TCM: Ben Mankiewicz, Eddie Muller, Jacqueline Stewart, Alicia Malone, and Dave Karger.
While embarking into newly themed TCM Classic Films Tour carts with their expert guide to take them around their 90-minute backlot tour, you’ll hear from the TCM hosts to transport them into the heart of cinematic history and immerse them in iconic classics such as Casablanca, The Life of Emile Zola, My Fair Lady, The Music Man, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Blazing Saddles, Giant, and more.
“The partnership with TCM solidifies our commitment to providing unforgettable entertainment experiences to our guests,” said Danny Kahn, Vice President & 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.”
