Last year, I had good luck on Visit the set of the upcoming Blumhouse Horror Film "Thene in the yard". It happened in a college city called Athens, Georgiador, about an hour from Atlanta, give or take. What I expected to meet during that visit was the knowledge behind the scenes of the return of UMEUM Collet-Sera in the horror genre. What I did not expect to discover is how Todd Phillips was responsible for the nearly total ban on recording at the University of Georgiadarist for more than 20 years.

Philips is best known as DC Hit Director of DC of $ 1 billion in Joker Since 2019. Prior to that, he was best known for his work in comedies with a rating as a "hangover". His first time in the genre was the "Old School" in 2000, which served as its principal's debut. He had previously directed a Fish documentary called "Bitter Motel" and FBO documentary called "Frat House", But this was his party that comes out as a director.

During his visit, we spent most of the time in the Athens studio, then a newly built production capacity only outside Athens. The "Woman's in the Yard" was one of the first biggest productions to use the building. Speaking to Elloel Harber, president and CEO of the Athens Studio, he revealed that they have good relations with the University of Georgialar, who is essentially at the heart of Athens.

"Through that connection we have a penetration to be able to get campus productions if needed. So it's something that has been relatively closed in the last 20 years or so," Harber explained to me and other journalists. So why was production closed on campus for more than two decades, exactly? "When I was at school there, there was a film called" Road Travel "that was filmed there," he added. "The trip" was the culprit.

For those who may need a refresher, Oshosh (Brakin Meyer's "trip centers that records her affair with another girl and accidentally sends her to his girlfriend. After realizing his mistake, Oshosh and both of his college friends went out to 1,800 miles, an exposed trip from Ithaca, Nyujork, in Austin, Texas, to save their relationship.

Despite being the first narrative feature of Philips, he had the support of the main studio in DreamWorks and a decent job budget. As Harber further explained, he also had the full collaboration of the University of Georgialar:

"They were like," Yes, for sure, a movie anywhere. If you want to get to the stadium, you want to do this. " They were all over the place.

The movie was a hit, The one that caused a slightly intensified sequel to DTV entitled "Road Travel: Beer Pong", But it was also a teenager, filled with sex, which is not exactly as a prestigious school that usually wants to be connected. "I don't think it deals with the image they wanted to project," Harber said. "So, they basically set up an iron gate and said," You can't go out here anymore. " Since then, there has been very little recorded on campus. "

Philips continued to have a great career, Recently directed "Okeroker: Folie a Deux", which was a big commercial bomb. It may mean that he will return to the comedies by ranking the pit to change the pace. As for Harber and Athens' studies, they actually worked with the University of Georgialar to recording campus recording by involving students in the school directly involved:

"We worked with Uga to try to loosen it. And then to do part of that shooting to get students involved and it's like," Hey, you want to shoot on campus? We need 20 headphones and students in a video village and we want them to be able to be part of it. " And so, that's what is happening right now. "

The "Woman's in the Yard" hits theaters on March 28, 2025.
