Yesterday, it was back at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour to catch the Sinners exhibit especially before the Academy Awards! I took the general tour. Right now is the SoCal Resident discount of $12 that runs until June 7th. What was new for this tour was walking into Mrs. Deagle’s house in Gremlins (1984) located on Midwest Street. This is a standing set not a facade so it was empty to be redressed for filming. The guide said the floor was built to be soundless so it wouldn’t interefere with recording. There was no second floor even though there was stairs. It was just girders most likely for lighting. I also liked that there was a fireplace. I also liked seeing the front of the William B. Abbott Public School for Abbot Elementary. The guide said the rest of the rest of the school was blue screened for it was only the ground floor.
It looked like the studio was preparing for Say Yes to the Prom, a reality show that has high school students get ready for the prom. I think I saw a local news channel cover it. The same theater where I had seen Superman the Movie had the show on the marquee with racks of dresses to the side. Also, there were buses down a street to take in the high schoolers to the theater. Studio 48 has the Central Perk Cafe for sandwiches and drinks and next to it is the Friends gift store where you exit to take the tram to the DC Universe Exhibit with Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts. To the left of the gift store is Stage 48: Script to Screen. The exhibit runs until April 30th. The first part is a room filled with Sinners costumes by Ruth E. Carter. Also, props and prostethics used in the film. Just on your left side is the screen used costume of Sammie (Miles Caton), mostly browns, next to him is his red chair that was used when he was an older blues singer.
Above Sammie is his 1932 Dobro Cyclops resonator guitar. Ludwig Goransson used it to play on the soundtrack. To the far side is a card that read that the dress of Pearline (Jayme Lawson) was missing because of use by the Academy! A guide said that it was for display for the costumes at the Academy. Continuing on is the promotion poster of the older Sammie (Buddy Guy) at Bob’s 950 Lounge for his North American tour. In case was the prostethic neck piece for Remmick (Jack O’Connell) and his fangs. Towards the end of the exhibit was the suit of Delta Slim (Delroy Lindo) standing next to the overalls of Cornbread (Omar Benson Miller). There was a case for the prosethetic lower face and gruesome head of Cornbread as a vampire with fangs. On the other side, by the entrance, is the Club Juke sign. Then, a case with Stack’s prosthetic and fangs. Next to it was a series of costumes; the pink dress of Mary (Hailee Steinfeld), the Smokestack Twins, the red fedora and dark suit of Stack and the blue cap and suit of Smoke (both of course played by Michael B. Jordan).
There is a gun box prop below them. Lastly, there was the dark blue dress of Annie (Wunmi Mosaku). Extensive, but no Ruth E. Carter notes, and missing the couple, Lisa (Helena Hu) and Bo Chow (Yao). The next room had costumes from Minecraft (2025) with costume with pink jacket of Garrett (Jason Mamoa), a Creeper prop, and the blue shirt of Steve (Jack Black). It continues with costumes from Crazy Rich Asians. Then, three outfits from the film, Selena (1997). The standout of the classic costume hall was the red costume and rapier of Errol Flynn. This was from Adventures of Don Juan (1948).
Next to him is Olivia de Havilland’s dress from one of my all time favorite films, The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). I would have liked to see Flynn’s Robin Hood costume next to de Havilland. The DC Universe Exhibit was a little different than on Superman Day. There was the costume of Ultra Man. There was also a missing costume, the Superman costume worn by David Corenswet) which the sign red, “currently being used by production.” Also, new was the Fortress of Solitude costume of Eve Teschmacher (Sara Sampaio) and also the arctic coat for Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). Another fun Warner Bros. Studio Tour especially with the Sinners exhibit before the Academy Awards, no costumes from One Battle After Another, and also seeing new costumes!
