Thinkwell Group, the California-based experience design and production agency specialising in the creation of theme parks, major attractions, live events and museum exhibits, has announced its role in designing and producing a new addition to the Warner Bros Studio Tour Hollywood.

The 25,000sq.ft facility – called Stage 48: Script to Screen – is featured as the finale of the 'backlot' tour and is the culmination of a two-year project that takes visitors behind the scenes of how movies and TV shows are made.

The immersive attraction provides visitors with a hands-on introduction to the world of filmmaking and includes interactive features and exhibits that highlight the phases of the production process – from screenwriting and set design to visual effects and post-production.

Visitors are not only be able to see authentic costumes, sets and models from films such as The Dark Knight, Corpse Bride, and Sweeny Todd, they are also be able to interact with various elements that explore and explain the production process from start to finish.

Visitors are welcomed to the new attraction by Ellen DeGeneres in an introductory video after which they are able to walk through a series of displays that show the various stages of pre-production.

From script writing to casting, visitors can view re-creations of what a screenwriter's desk would look like, try casting a film at an interactive touch table and see scaled models of film set pieces and costumes created by design departments.

Visitors can also design their own Batmobile on an interactive design station as well as outfit computer-generated models in costumes from The Great Gatsby or Camelot.

They then walk through to the production area which houses the original Central Perk Café set from Friends. This area also includes the space capsule used in the film Gravity.

"It has been a real privilege to collaborate with the Warner Bros family to make Stage 48: Script to Screen a reality," said Chris Durmick, Thinkwell's creative director for Stage 48.

"The Warner Bros tour has been providing its visitors with an unparalleled experience inside one of Hollywood's most storied studios, and Stage 48 is a wonderful finale and a clear demonstration of the studio's commitment to their guests."
