Motion Picture and Television Production Companies Compete For Sound Stages To Film Multi-Million $$ Projects

(November 2, 2007 ---Hollywood, California)---Legendary Hollywood Sunset Gower Studios has standing room only! The famed 15 acre full services film and tv production facility that has been home to academy award-winning motion pictures such as “It Happened One Night,” “From Here To Eternity” and “The Caine Mutiny” now has its soundstages buzzing with hit television series “Heroes” and “Dexter.” Both shows are high atop the ratings at their respective NBC and Showtime networks and occupy many of the newly refurbished 175,00 sq ft of sound stages.

Since Sunset Gower Studios has installed a huge state-of-the-art panoramic cyclorama on one of the stages and recently added the Airplane mock-ups of Air Hollywood on another, available space for production companies is at a premium. In addition to feature films such as “Alvin & The Chipmunks” (Fox), “The Good German” (George Clooney), “Georgia Rule” (Jane Fonda, Lindsey Lohan) and “The Good Shepherd” (Robert DeNiro) being shot on the lot, there have been music videos, commercials and other TV series all occupying 415,000 sq ft of production and office space.

Also nearing completion is a 96,000 sq ft high rise building that will be leased by Technicolor Post Production services at year’s end. The Northeast corner of the lot boasts the fashionable newly-opened gourmet restaurant Eat On Sunset, with the large commissary on the lot providing daily fare for the thousands of talented crew members while in production.
