Today Movie Park Germany shed some light on their brand new studio-themed attraction opening at the park next month.
Journey to the Forbidden Chamber provides a realistic film studio experience with an adventure story that will immerse guests in the filmmaking process and on-set operations of a famous Paramount Pictures Studio movie.
Guests will take the role of extras on a brand new production moving from one scene to the next surrounded by props, sets and action!
At the end of the journey there’s a screening area and original costumes from Paramount productions to have a look at and the park are over the moon to be showcasing a real-life movie studio production within their theme park.
The open casting call in Studio 16 opens its doors to the stars and starlets of tomorrow, as extras are sought for the next big Paramount Pictures event film! A new adventure film titled “Journey to the Forbidden Chamber” is set to hit the big screen soon.
Director and screenwriter Emma Hoffman welcomes all ambitious actors and actresses to the world-famous Paramount Pictures Studios to make the best choice and support the already cast Hollywood duo Astrid Schneider and Banner Jenkins with new talent in several scenes.
From the excavation site set to the spirit chamber, the extras in this fictional story pass through various stages and gain insights into the set work and production processes at the renowned Paramount Pictures Studios.
In the final scene, the guests find themselves in the depths of the temple. The mystic spheres that guard the sacred place are brought to life in the forbidden chamber. An action-packed showdown ensues between the mighty stone warriors and the duo Schneider and Jenkins, with guests participating live as extras. To this end, they are immersed in a two-and-a-half-minute film specially produced by Paramount Pictures, which, together with a moving stage, creates a unique multimedia experience.
More than a year and a half of planning and implementation were required for the redesign of the 2500 m² attraction. The fictional story behind the attraction and the concept were developed by the Paramount Creative Team in the USA and adapted and further developed in collaboration with the local Movie Park Team to create the best possible guest experience for the existing infrastructure. The pathways within the attraction were changed and the floor space expanded to create additional capacity.
The aim was to give guests a backstage experience of a Hollywood studio but also take them to various sets and right into the middle of filming. The generously proportioned rooms now offer enough space to stage various moments on the set of an event film. In the large temple hall, a new preshow with laser effects, fire, and video mapping now prepares guests for their adventurous experience.
Real film sequences in the final scene and scenes on attraction screens were produced in Hollywood at the original Paramount Pictures studio and the 3D glasses from the previous attraction have been scrapped for good, woohoo!
Over 8.492 working hours, 310 liters of paint, and 10.000 kg of material have gone into the creative processes and the creation of props and set details. These include the large Paramount Pictures archway, expansive show sets, replicas, scenic and graphic works, and typical film set signage, all of which give the attraction its realistic studio character.
Roll on May!
