Thank-you again to jim for this....

What burned in the Universal fire?

* New York City streetscape: Used in countless movies and television shows. This set burned once before, in 1990, and was rebuilt.

* King Kong: The King Kong exhibit on the Universal Studios tour. The exhibit included a 30-foot-tall moving model of King Kong.

* "Back to the Future" set: The town square, including the courthouse area and the clock tower that plays a central roll in the film. It's now the home of GHOST WHISPERER.

* Video vaults: These vaults contained videos of numerous Universal-produced TV series and movies. Firefighters managed to remove some of the videotapes. "Nothing is lost forever," Universal President Ron Meyer said of the videos.

* Soundstage: At least one full soundstage.

OMGY!!!

YASU · 06-02-2008, 04:47 PM

I'm sure the new set will be as same as the old one, and, even the ghosts will hang out again and appear on the footages as usual

rlm · 06-03-2008, 02:02 AM

yeah there was a fire before (didn't it also involve king kong?) and they got things back in order quickly. but can you imagine having to rebuilt the whole back to the future set especially for GW. seeing that pic with the statues of the soldiers in the town square is pretty creepy. almost like your watching grandview getting destroyed by the evil ghosts below. i'm wonder if this will slow down production on the show and cause it to start a little later than usual. when i heard that one of the warehouses or whatever that housed alot of tv shows and movies got caught in the fire and that there was some damage done to some of them i got a little worried. what if some of our favorite shows were in there and got destroyed? could you imagine if that's where they had stored all the GW season 3 episodes and they had gotten burned. there would be no dvd box set released. luckily nothing serious happened and no one got hurt.

The videos lost in the fire at the video vault were not one-of-a-kinds. They all have backups stored elsewhere, nothing was permanently lost

It's now been officially reported that the series will return on time, no delays. Ghost Whisperer's executive producers posted this statement today.

Universal Studios Fire
In regards to the unfortunate fire that took place this weekend on the Universal back lot, we would like to thank those emergency responders who so bravely and effectively handled the situation. Despite damage to some of the exterior Ghost Whisperer sets, we plan to begin production for Season 4 on time, so that the show can premiere as scheduled this fall. Everyone at Ghost Whisperer thanks you for your concern and support.

calm down people... I think its time to rebuild Grandview

rosebuffy · 06-03-2008, 10:18 AM

oh wow, that is so incredibly shocking. Looking at the pictures of the actual set burning and then the vid of New York street - the exterior of the hospital was there just recently. Nature is kind of terrifying!!

thanks for all the updates though.
