looks like the film vault is now burning... HOLY POOP!!!

Driver_King · 06-01-2008, 02:15 PM

OH NO! I hope everyone is alright and the movies weren't hurt.

I live in Burbank, a couple of miles from Universal. The sky is filled with thick black smoke. On the news, I heard there was a few explosions. Didn't hear them myself. Was playing GTA at the time and the audio was kind of loud.

SFX gone terribly wrong... i hope no one was hurt. i fear we have lost a few films though...

MrBogey · 06-01-2008, 02:28 PM

I figured this place would be covering the news. I hope they don't lose any irreplacable films. Maybe I could hope it's just a HD DVD firesale that got out of hand.

cajmoyper · 06-01-2008, 02:32 PM

I'm glad the war is over so that nothing really stupid was said. I too hope that everyone is alright. Yes, more than the movies.

MacHaggis · 06-01-2008, 02:56 PM

I can see it from my house... I'm about 6 miles away.

It's burning big time, as of now.

They're saying Universal Studios Park will be open today (I found that interesting).

I hope no one has been hurt and no one gets hurt with that huge fire.

I also hope the film vault isn't compromised or burned down, either.

Hmmmmmm..............2 things to do in 2008.

1.) Lose MILLIONS, on failed format.

2.) wait a few months...burn down a studio lot.

3.) collect insurance.

It is a production lot........where they have a soundstage to film on. Not a storage facility.............geeez!

The film vault is on fire. We may have lost the King Kong Attraction and the Courthouse Square from Back to the Future.

Damn, damn, damn, damn. Hopefully everyone is ok and the film masters won't be damaged.
