History of Warner Bros. Studios

The studio opened its doors to the public in 2012 to showcase the treasure (Props and equipment) accumulated during the production of all the Harry Potter movies. It claims to have the distinction of producing the first-ever talkie also. 

It was born out of a gamble between four brothers- Jack, Sam, Albert and Harry who claimed that the audience will gravitate to the talkies that synced sound with speed. Initially their attempts seemed to be futile to drive the attention of the audience and filmmakers but in 1927 they released a musical drama named The Jazz Singer that brought a revolution in the entertainment industry.

This was also the year when the studio transformed from a primary talkie to a talking motion picture studio. The reputation of the studio kept on increasing year after year as it hosted a vast number of high profile production work.

Some of the most iconic movies like An Ideal Husband, Longitude, Sleepy Hollow and Goldeneye were filmed over here. The Dark Knight series is touted to be the best part of the history of Warner Bros studio. It is also home to the most successful movie series of all time including Harry potter.

It is the favorite destination of filmmakers all around the globe and is also the go-to studio for the production of world class movies, commercials and pop shows.
