Remember the courtyard square from the Back To The Future films? Sure you do. It was the courtyard. You know – the one shaped like a square. From the Back To The Future films.
Well, it looks like remembering it is all you’ll be able to do, as the courtyard square from the Back To The Future films is just one of the many movie milestones that has been eaten up by a blazing fire raging its way through Universal Studios, Los Angeles.
According to L.A Fire Department Chief Michael Freeman, the impact of the fire on a New York street mock-up was as such:
“Those are basically building fronts with some walls but they’re very susceptible to rapid burning… it also got into the King Kong building. That building is totally destroyed.”
Hecklerspray has an army of informants in Los Angeles (okay, one bloke who lives in his car nearby, watching famous people through binoculars and surviving purely on Cheetos and Mountain Dew), and we’ve managed to cobble together an exclusive list of things that have been lost in the blaze so far:
– Every copy of Fuhrer Time!, Adam Sandler‘s controversial unreleased Third Reich comedy
– Richard Gere‘s gerbil farm, which exists purely because he likes looking at gerbils, and for no other reason whatsoever
– The cast and crew of Highlander 6
– Main Chapel of the Church Of Costner
– Lindsay Lohan‘s stash
– Like, some totally fucking awesome monster movie masks that would have, like, fucking ruled if we could have borrowed them and gone to some party, bro
– Burt Reynold‘s favourite Nissan Micra
– Heath Ledger‘s hiding place, from which he was going to emerge on The Dark Knight’s release day in the most elaborate publicity stunt ever
– The collected tears of Cuba Gooding Jr, labelled in bottles such as ‘career loss,’ ‘lack of self-respect,’ and ‘any memories associated with Boat Trip‘
– Six thousand Mexican cleaning staff
– The script for Battlefield Earth 2
