From HNN, The Weeknd is in SS12.

From HNN, The Weeknd is in SS12.

So does mean Monsters is going in the Stranger Things stage? And Weeknd is going in the Voice stage?

Thoughts on what the Parisian courtyard maze would be now?

A house involving El Cucuy.

The Weeknd house still locked in?

The Weeknd house still locked in?

Seeems like it; which feels insane to consider just Hollywood getting it. Honestly wonder if there’s a reason to that with specifically Weeknd (perhaps as a sweetener to give him the most iconic USH soundstage currently existing?)

So does mean Monsters is going in the Stranger Things stage? And Weeknd is going in the Voice stage?

That to me feels more insane than Weeknd on SS12. Feel like a full circle moment given old HHN rumors of the past with SS28.

Doing a rare double-post, especially now with the lineup holding as it is.

If the quality matches what we've been seeing Post-COVID, alongside the inclusion of everything holding up; this feels like it's shaping to be one of the most aggressive lineups in quality output since like--2016.

• Brand new offerings for beyond houses (whatever is in DreamWorks Theater & whatever is being added with Potter)
• IP for Terror Tram that could be all-encompassing if they use Blumhouse's IP's overall (especially if it's a Chucky situation where M3GAN leads the charge)
• 3 Indoor Venues with Weeknd in the most iconic soundstage currently existing on the lot, Monsters finally getting a big soundstage, and UBEVenue being hopefully black boxed to allow the scale of AQP to stick
• A seemingly brand new Texas that is adding new stuff rather than retreading (atleast from what we've seen of the exterior)
• More elaborate and varied facades with new techniques and larger scales than before.

It's genuinely astounding, and while some things can't be judged until we get closer to the event--it feels genuinely exciting to be a HHN fan if the quality is where it can be.

Would they do TCM based on the game? The game has its own characters and stuff not in the movies

Honestly? I'm genuinely hoping Murdy does use material from the game. Think that'd be a good way to use the classic film assets in a way that'd be relevant with up-to-date material (they also have certain character's that would be fun as hell to see in a HHN context).

I read a random rumor on Reddit that we lost Weeknd very recently. Don't know if that's true at all.
Question about SS12...is The Voice no longer filming there for its upcoming season?

 

[viking_wizard_eyes]

I thought they’d moved out of that stage years ago and they just kept up the mural as an homage.

The Voice actually moved I believe to either Park Lake or Barham on the lot.

 

[DTH]

Didn't realize they moved out, but that makes sense, I haven't been keeping up with my knowledge of the lot, but did a recent revisit of this page and sure enough, a whole video about it -- I used to be obsessed over these little details and if you guys want to read up more about SS12 and all of its history, here is a link:

Stage 12 - theStudioTour.com

Dates: 1928 – Built in 1928 for the musical “Broadway”, Stage 12 was the largest soundstage on the Universal lot (29,500 sq.ft.) and was...

If we're truly getting a maze in here, this will be an insane treat for film studio historians.

Can anyone answer to the Weeknd rumor?

this is the first I've heard of it.

 

[chris.g]

I’m going to go out on a limb and say I never believed The Weeknd rumor (so I totally expect it to be happening).

 

[Clive]

Weeknd is still happening.

 

[downunder]

Lol I'm booked in for Friday to Sunday, so the Weeknd is definitely happening for me. Interesting if it's on the former Voice SS, maybe they can include a homage, like Simon Cowell meeting one of the Weeknd's more horrific characters.

I love that, at least speculated, Universal Monsters is getting the soundstage treatment. Also the Parisienne courtyard facade is starting to look very impressive.

Could we be getting something drastically different with Terror Tram this year?

Could we be getting something drastically different with Terror Tram this year?

I'd expect quick turnover over the 3 week period alongside Dia De Los Muertos in the Plaza in turnover for getting things up to speed. Hopefully we'll see work begin for Terror Tram's latter half come July.
