Sony Pictures Studios has announced the return of its popular Twilight Tour, which will run every Thursday evening from June 25 through August 27.
The walking tour will begin at 6 p.m. and last for 2 hours. Tours will swing by soundstages once home to famous films, including The Wizard of Oz. Stops on the tour may also include the set of Jeopardy! or Wheel of Fortune, and the Barbra Streisand Scoring Stage, where some of the most memorable movie music has been recorded. And only on the Sony tour will you walk under a soaring 94-foot rainbow.
Tickets for daytime and twilight tours are available at www.sonypicturesstudiostours.com; telephone reservations can be made at 310-244-8687. Free parking is available beneath Sony Pictures Plaza on Madison Avenue in Culver City. Admission is $40 per guest. Children ages 12 and older are welcome.
Originally constructed in 1915 as Triangle Studios, the lot became Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1924, and served as MGM’s home through the Golden Age of Hollywood. In 1989, Sony Corporation purchased the old MGM lot in Culver City as well as Columbia Pictures and renamed the company Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE). Major renovations have turned the property into a state-of-the-art facility while preserving the lot’s historical integrity.
Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) is a subsidiary of Sony Entertainment Inc., a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Sony Corporation. SPE’s global operations encompass motion picture production, acquisition and distribution; television production, acquisition and distribution; television networks; digital content creation and distribution; operation of studio facilities; and development of new entertainment products, services and technologies.
