Friday is a big day at the movies just as much as it is a big day at Universal Studios Hollywood, and for the same reason. Jordan Peele’s new movie No released in theaters and on the same day, new addition to the World Famous Studio Tour for the debut of the Jupiter’s Claim set of the film. It’s the first time we’ve seen a film debut and theme park attraction on the same day, but Jordan Peele was more than happy to work alongside the theme park team on making his film.
Normally when a movie is translated into a theme park attraction, like when The theme park attractions turn into movies. occurs after the release of the film and became a hit, but with No Universal took a different approach by adding the film and theme park at the same time, giving the theme park unprecedented access to the film. I had the opportunity to talk to Universal Creative Vice President Jon Corfino about joining the Studio Tour, and he told me Jordan Peele loved the idea of seeing No added to Universal Studios Hollywood and he was more than willing to show them behind the curtain. Corfino explained …
It was very welcoming. When I first met him on set, she said “Oh my God, this is great” and “Tell us what we can do to help you”. And then she was really one of those things where she welcomed us with open arms. And that was a huge leap forward, because it meant we could see the previous cuts and we could see the film as it was being made to understand how we could be true to her vision.
Although Corfino did not want to reveal what could have been different from other cuts of No, every film goes through some sort of process of change over time that most of us never get to see. In most cases, these cuts never see the light, but Jordan Peele was apparently more than willing to give Universal Creative that access to help them create the best possible version of Jupiter’s Claim.
Creating a movie or TV show that becomes popular and has its own fan base is definitely something special, but there seems to be a somewhat unique feeling when that same property becomes a theme park experience. The creators of Phineas and Ferb got excited when it comes to seeing his creations inside Disneyland. Lin-Manuel Miranda seems determined to find a home in a theme park Charm . Seeing your work on screen is one thing. Seeing your work become “real” is another thing.
Jordan Peele clearly had a similar feeling when Universal Creative approached him with this idea. Some of his films will now be seen by all who visit Universal Studios Hollywood for years to come.
It’s a real honor considering the other two directors who recreated their sets for the tour are Alfred Hitchcock and Steven Spielberg. It’s a pretty impressive feat, though Peele insists he’s not the best horror director ever or something. No opens in theaters and on the World Famous Studio Tour on July 22nd.
