Universal Backlot

[Iluthra]

War of the Worlds! Did they really leave it all there for the tram ride to see? I haven't been ther ein ages.

[grantman1000]

@Iluthra ya

[buckshotwon]

I had to change the track.

[CapitainBeefhartfanO]

that's a perfect place to live xP

[southernlady75]

shoot, now i've got to go back and watch war of the worlds, just so I can see...haha

[tgeorge36187505841]

i remember goin past tht bit wen i was thre

[jrbatfan]

LMAO! What language is that? Yaaaaaaaah!

[ForensicFreak55]

Oh, FYI: the sound has been disabled... yeah. Just figured u'd wanna kno...

[Krisathelas]

Whoops..looks like Grunberg took the

"Lost" Flight 815 out for a spin again...

[skunderscore]

hehe i remember seeing this when i went a few years ago before they started filming the movie

[arlenjf]

you can sooo see this from google maps lol

fyi :)

[mmcgwire]

Looks like a Nightmare on Elm Street! (Lol @ the Elm Street sign )

[ellensama]

I finally went by there the other day on a golf cart, I was really impressed by the detail and that they had used a real plane. If you ever go up the hill to the garage where the trams get worked on the delorean from back to the future is sitting in the parking lot by Jaws. You should go have some fun with that and film it.

[LynleeG]

Awesome! My bro went and brought back photos, but now I get a'tour'.

[Hunnen]

I am working for movie productions too, but in europe. If I see such sets, I am so happy that I am not the prop guy. That must be a load of work to bring that stuff to set and then clean up :-P

Respect!

[malibufssa]

I came to Universal Studio, the last time was in 1999.

[Kapwn29]

i remember seeing this 2 years ago... it was cool

[Zigzag4me]

Without the cars, this looks just like the set for the Pilot of Lost.

[pumpla123]

cool i think...

[augiefroggie]

Nonono! I don't want Universal Studios! I want Masi and Milo and Hayden and Greg and Ali and Nick and David and Zachary and Kristen and Jack and James and Sendhil and Nathan and everybody elses name I forgot my mind can only hold so much!

[ratuse]

Wow, I haven't been to Universal since 1987. Its lookin' tip top these days. ;)

[fashionista507]

i went there myself and saw it, it was amazing! every one should go and see it! plus you get to see the set of desperate housewives which is a bonus :)

[fashionista507]

no, that is the set from war of the worlds.

[cudery212]

I was being what some might call, facetious. :)

[cudery212]

Hey a plane crash set to eerie music... This isn't another J.J. Abrams project is it? Let me guess there's a big monster and a group of people they call the others.

[pumpla123]

hahah

[BabyIGotsYou]

Was this destroyed in the fire?

[taytay241]

i thought this was from yesterday...very weird...were you trying to tell us something Adrian?? :)

[petrilli2lover]

I saw photos on CNN. I'm pretty sure this set is ok.

[jenna4891]

Not so random anymore...I am glad to hear that there were few injuries, and none serious or life threatening...but I am sure your video is not getting more random hits now with people trying to see the Universal Studios backlot in general to relate it to the news

[SallyDammerung]

Yikes. Apparently one of the Universal backlots is presently on fire. Kind of a lot of fire. No idea if it's this one but, yes, still, yikes.

[samsikatze84]

Which movie is it?

[samsikatze84]

oh sorry

i didnt read the info

[Kimmiisme]

Man, this video makes me want to go back to Universal Studios. Oh well, I have a trip coming up in November, thanks for ramping up my anticipation!

[azupokedigioh]

They still have that at Universal Studios Hollywood? I went about two years ago, but I guess they wouldn't want to get rid of something that was so hard to make. I hear they used an actual plane and ripped it up.

[LPQ6]

That freaked me out to see the plane like that. u_u; yay for flying by myself all the time.

[dspunky]

Lemme tell you..that must have taken a lot of work to create!! whoa!

[don6573]

I half it to pan to Masi chilling out in one of seats at the end. Even aimlessly wandering around.

Good vid, lots of suspense and good music

[Kaverta]

that's scary:/

[energybot]

Another alien invasion.

[tonsoflaughs]

Oh my. What happened here (in the movie)?

[Wedge8]

NOOO~ ALIEN INVASION!

[terebi916]

Nice vid - and as usual, the choice of soundtrack was IMPECCABLE. I do <3 devastation (but only in the movies)!

[scratchingcat]

That really conveyed an eerie feeling. Nice job!

[BBI88]

I love Universal Studios!!! X-)

[ALittleHorror]

Wow, it's only when you see it like that, that you can actually take in and appreciate what an amazing set it was. The attention to detail is fantastic and eerily realistic.

Thanks for posting -as always!

xXx

[ellensama]

Where on the back lot is or was that? I get a kick every time I see the giant Heros poster on the stage for Land of the Lost when I go in with my bf into the digital services offices. If you ever been to the back lot cafe my bf also wrote the comic they have displayed in the window.

[krystalb2000]

Ohh, I wonder when this was taken. Is this set still around? That's pretty awesome!

[demonwindzabuza]

the set was still around, but i think it was completely destroyed by a fire occurring today....

[CharmedBen10]

I lurve it. : Just missing one thing... the hotness of Milo. ^_^

[shinigami6106]

I remember riding by this set in one of those giant chain tour buses.

[BabyIGotsYou]

Nice camera work =]

[energybot]

Well you got another brilliant thing Mr Director Dude :D.

[LittleGreyGirl]

really creepy. awesome camera work!

[nathew]

xenu did it.

[goneal1017]

that was insane, like to camera work.... keep it up...

[Ravenclaw160]

did you take the universal's tour or sumthn during shooting break?

[philphie]

lol did you guys take the universal tour or sumthn during shooting breaks?

[LupinWolfy]

So that's what happened to the plane on LOST! No, jk...that's War of the Worlds, right?

[DFG333]

Amazing set. Good movie too.

[LadyTuscanyAxel90]

such an awesome set!

[HEROESRULES1]

WAR OF THE WORLDS WOOT

[hippomonster3]

AAARRGGHHH!?

...spooky stuff adrian, spooky stuff....

[AClownNamedMarie]

That's pretty jokes. It's awesome.

[TehShelli]

HOO HAH NERDFIGHTERS.

[JLYKheroes]

Wow what a nice set! Without looing at the description, you MIGHT think its real.

[spalvociuks]

oh my.. reminds me 'lost' xDD

[annavelouria]

The song it's "Secret Girl", I think.:)

[annavelouria]

The song *is* "Secret Girl", sorry.

[tehspiff]

Wow!  I went on the Universal Tour a couple years back and saw this, but it's great to be able to get a good look at it. It's very awe-inspiring.

[limeslimey]

Sorry for posting again. The group is

Sonic Youth what is the song?

[ACShaynower]

Hm...War of the Worlds? I'd believe that. Anything with Tom Cruise has to end up a disaster...

Anywhosels, this was kinda cool. I thought that it was, like, used prop limbo or something. Or Lost.

Anyway, keep it up man!

[vampedvixenvids]

OMG!! Adrian be careful! ;P

[midnightartistry]

Oh thank God I read the video details this time. I was in absolute horror for the first half of the movie (but then something just started to look a little familiar) and wow, that just puts my mind so much more at ease. I liked the music, it went well with the "Oh the horror" atmosphere! I can see thought what you meant by "random even for me" lol.

[xPirateQueenx]

Pretty spooky, man.

[SometimesLola]

i posted a comment earlier but it seems like it's not coming up or it vanished. I don't think i said anything offensive. what i said was that this vid is the best, just cause it made me zoom into the PC-thinking the worse for a sec till i find it's a set. Also mentioned how it's so nice that your putting up the song info now. saves people from asking-like myself cause for the most part i love the music here.anyhow, NICE vid.

[oceanglare]

haha I saw that on horror night. it's fucking awesome

[rhysluclin]

Man, I miss Universal Studios now.

[CaptainDjaq]

it did have a very 'Lost'esque feel to it...is the set reserved and saved for some sort of tour? cause that would be cool to go see =)

Cool vid. love the music

[kaczurda]

Wow that's amazing! I am completely stunned by some of the sets these days. They're just so realistic and breathtaking. This was also a great movie. :) Thanks for sharing!

[MrNoahBennet]

Step aside Spielberg.

[Zeouterlimits]

Would be more awesome if this was the set of Heroes... Still cool, the movie did have a pretty good display of the destruction that one would imagine could have been caused.

[mindysioux13]

Man... Sonic Youth! That was the only thing I didn't like about the video! Lol sorry Mr. Pasdar I have to agree with 'Juno' on that group ("it's just a bunch of noise!") Still respect you though ;) ;)

[CosmicAvatar]

Great vid. (I really liked the film too.)

[phoenix39]

Made of awesome.

[MsKingsley]

Oh my gosh. That's awesome. Thanks for sharing that!

[vanitykidman]

very cool, i'm suprised they haven't taken it down yet.

[whereUlead]

do they plan to re-cycle the set? or did they already? or is there another purpose of keeping it? questions about questions..... ;)

[LevitateThis]

I really love this one...Very "Lost" feel at the start :-) Feels like watching a home movie...and great SFX and then the music.

[Brokenlizard14]

Aw. I was there (twice). LOVE that set. I'm so glad they let it stand for the tour.

Thanks for putting it up. It's nice to see it again.

[pammydodger]

i'm amazed it's still there!

that set is huuuuuge :D

[Gezjones619]

class

[zedpz]

wow the set is still there?

[labrynth82]

Well... that was creepy. Perfect choice of BG music, as always. All that is missing is a mannequin/shadow suddenly moving in the background :p

[latinapeacechick]

wow adrian!! what a stunning set, i'm so glad you showed us!! and wonderful music that really fits in with the mood! thank you!

[annavelouria]

Amazingly detailed set. And the song adds to the creepy feel of the video. Thanks for posting it, buckshotwon!:)

[gloriatraveler]

It looks so real. I'm really struck by how much work and effort it must take to put something like that together.

[Joull]

amazing!

[QueenHare]

Wow!

There's so much... stuff! That's an incredibly detailed set.

Thanks for sharing!

[2wents]

Universal Studio is NBC's parent company, right? So Will Heroes redo this set and shoot some scenes using this set?

[Saichiiro]

First thought: "Is that LOST?"

Second thought: "Or maybe from Heroes Season 3?"

Third thought: "Or is it real?!"

Then: Saichiiro reads the info about the video... okay. (Memo to myself: First, read the info, then think!)

Well... i don't like the movie, but your video is good, thanks for it! :)

[NicholetteKelly]

Okay, youtube didn't post my comment right. I was trying to reply to amzzzziohi's comment about Grunny. That's what I was laughing at. Sheesh.

[jmb081092]

oh my god...

[SallyDammerung]

Wow, that's a hell of a set. The detail on the wires on that engine (I guess it's an engine) is unbelievable.

I'm trying so very very hard not to make a crack about how Grunberg really needs to stop flying commercial airplanes, but I think referring to the struggle probably constitutes failure.

[amzzzziohi]

Whoa that's amazing!

Lol Gotta keep Grunnie away from those planes!

[NicholetteKelly]

LOL! Funny.

Adrian this was awesome. :) Thanks for taking time out of your busy shooting schedule to post a new vid for us. The music was so creepy and then haunting. Very cool.

[Alyandajaddict]

Great clip!

It's amazing how they can make sets like this!

Thanks a lot for this clip Adrian!

Love always!

xoxo

Domi

[gossy16]

I know it's unrelated, and this is probably overdone, but I'm gonna be the moron who says it: fastest way off that damn island? Petrelli Airlines! Hiro telePort would work, too.

More to the point: really enjoyed this vid. The framing especially works for me.

[mrooffcia]

Realistic. Music fits this seen film. It adds the feeling of horror. Scenographer's excellent work...

[fairysinlove]

OMGOMGOMG I been there is soo cool....they made it look soo real I wish I can go there again..

great vid any ways =]

[myblueoctober]

All you need is, like, a couple of tumbleweeds rolling by and a few car wheels spinning and boom! it's real lookin'!

Haha

[SometimesLola]

wow. I was expecting something else entirely. that looks absolutely awesome, wish i could see it myself-but I'll settle for this vid-for now.

And thank you for putting up the song info up too-saves me from annoying people here. but yeah thanks for that. this vid was nice, made everyone (me) zoom in into the PC thinking the worst for a few seconds.

that, in itself, makes this a really good one. Its all about the reaction you make people have.(for me anyways)

[agentonyx]

Weird that it's still there. You'd think they would have cleaned it up.

[faggot]

creepy

[popifun]

Wait, is this a set for heroes??????? i think at 1.53 we see the house of Claire...

[JentheFangirl]

I saw this for the first time last year when I was on the tour. It's really rather realistic. You do a closeup on those seats in the busted plane. I was drawn to those, too. I like the pacing here. It is tram pace, right? You do a great job of covering what's there in what I had thought was a quick amount of time.

[seriesmaniak]

Wow !!!! Awesome video !!!

[lijeyeshaveit]

Guessing you had to take a tour just like the rest of us to view it. The song makes this so creepy.

[hunnybunch1981]

"THIS IS A SET. THIS IS NOT REAL." shame nobody told those people some 60 years ago, when they were listing to orson welles' radio show. :D

[meliparker14]

That's like the freakest set ever when you turn around in the parking garage at City Walk and just see the beginning of Lost in front of you.

Great song choice. :)

[Yazzelle]

LOL @ "THIS IS A SET. THIS IS NOT REAL."

Fun times. =)

[nerdinpink]

Cool

[callieroxmysox]

thats pretty awesome.

[Maiqu20]

This is pretty cool

[tommytonebender]

That is awesome. I haven't been to Universal Studios since that set has been up. I need to go there again, just to see that.

[SuburbanTwinkie]

Pretty sweet, I haven't taken the Universal tour in a while.

[jazztap64]

I agree with thelackey, reminds me of LOST.  Interesting video!

[SNnat17]

Ha I've seen that set!

that's really cool the way they paid attention to detail

good music choice!

[jojojoannnnne]

LOL I love how you had to specify that this is a set.

[ZerosDarkMetall]

spoilers =O!

[thelackey]

Love the vid! The song choice just adds to the whole eerie vibe.

Seeing that wreckage always reminds me of Lost.

[natalieforpresident]

You guys they have it there because when you go to Universal Studios you can take a lot tour and thats one of the things they show...they also show the Desperate Housewives set, King Kong and other things that have been in films and tv. It's actually pretty cool.

[VaultCult]

It looks very post-apocalyptic but that stands to reason. Is that all still there? Freaky...I guess it will look more authentic with genuine decay.

[limeslimey]

Creepy. Why is that stuff not stored away?

Great music choice though...

[Wintersome]

Hollywood magic. I knew that wasn't real. Probably done with lasers or something. Lasers and cardboard.

[xtahsee30]

coooool. I love anything behind the scenes. thanks for uploading, Adrian! :)

[jenna4891]

yep...random is right...

I really liked the music choice though...and interesting to see a vacant set, it seems so errie, especially with the type of set WoW was...

[sanderrrrann]

lol so my question is

why is it still up. war of the worlds was so long ago.

[SNnat17]

its part of Behind the Scenes tour in Universal Studios Hollywood, if you go on the tour they show you that

[Lillica]

Nice! I want to go there some day, I think it would be amazing. I also remember seeing this on CSI recently, but not knowing from what movie it was from. Thanks, Adrian! Awesome, yet again! <3

[edukateyourself]

sonic youth. kool thing. :P

[Saruke]

war of the worlds was like 3 years ago. And they just leave that stuff sitting around?

Pshh, Hollywood going green my ass.

[petrilli2lover]

Cool new video. Thanks for the new upload. It's cool that you had a little time to do a tour of universal studios. I hope you had fun. That new new teaser rocks.

[sparkish808]

.... And you didn't film Jaws attacking your tram?!?!

Much more exciting than a dead plane if you ask me.

xD

[msashleychen]

LOST???...no

[Terraphim]

It does look a lot like the set of "Lost" (which, by the way, isn't half as good as "Heroes"). ;D

[yuminahaku]

that is just way to damn creepy!

=[

[SimbiAni1]

whoa.. o.o cool trip! thanks for posting!

[julescavalier]

what a brilliant set! it's all very well done. i never saw that movie, but wow i'd luv to just walk around sets like this. it makes me want to go to universal studios again. i get a kick out of that sort of thing.

[wornlipstick]

i thought it was the LOST set at first, until i read the info.

[christinemarie13]

I knew this looked familiar. And the music was very different.

[lizzybellekay]

Very cool, but daunting. It's neat that you got to see all that.

[adexterousname]

Is it illegal to post this footage? Meh, who cares! Set was amazing; I kind of wonder why they kep it around...

[anonymouswords]

Thats saddening. Makes me think of the people suffering in China right now.

Props on the music selection though.

[gilmoregirls156]

Cool! i didn't really enjoy the movie but it was ok :) i always love seeing movie sets! thanks Adrian!

[backinblack12]

cool, I want to go there
