Universal City

Wednesday, 20th April 2005 by James

A little to the south of The Warner Bros. Studio I posted earlier in the week is Universal City, “Steg” breaks down what you can see:

In this shot you have the theme park and the CityWalk in the foreground. The circular border of trees separates it from the actual film studios and backlot. The backlot extends to the top right where it eventually ends at a tip and then you get Burbank Studios aka Warner Bros.

In the second thumbnail shot you can see fictional street “Wisteria Lane” from TV show “Desperate Housewives” (Thanks Josh!).

    Can someone point out where they film the TV show “Gilmore Girls”? I’ve read Stars Hallow is back there somewhere.

    It’s my wife’s favorite show…

    If you scroll to the left a little you see a bright green triangle with a
    giant white screen at the base, this is where the ocean scenes were done for
    the Truman Show. Just to the right of that in the big empty space is one
    building, the Psycho house. The lake just north of the lime triangle is the
    setting for Murder She Wrote. The house in the grass field just south
    of the Lime triangle is the house from the Great Outdoors starring John Candy.
