We've been posting a lot about the upcoming "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" theme park that's opening up at Universal Studios in Orlando, but there hasn't been a lot to show you so far. Until now...
Universal Studios has released the first in-depth look at "Harry Potter And The Forbidden Journey," an attraction which leads you into the Hogwarts castle and through the school. What we see is a whole lot of state-of-the-art green screen technology being used as they port Harry and his schoolmates into an elaborate, huge spectacle of a ride. All three leads are shown (Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson), and they look like they're very much being put to work as Universal constructs what's sure to be a memorable experience. Check out the video below, and then stay tuned to the MTV Movies Blog for a lot more on "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter."
Animated movies seem to be bigger than ever as studios scramble for classic books to turn into big budget 3D and CG animated properties. While it's generally agreed that few have managed to meet the level of Pixar, the animated offerings from DreamWorks and Universal are getting better and better. So I'll hold out hope that Universal will do right by their adaptation of Dr. Seuss' classic tale "The Lorax."
