EUE/Screen Gems Studios (located in Wilmington, NC) tour was a complete waste of time and money. The hour-long tour lasted about 50 minutes and entailed a walk to the screening room where they showed us a video with clips from movies made at that studio. The sound was not working at our showing. Then we walked through three sets and... more

im a wilmington native that had to take the tour for a film class project back when dawsons creek was still on air. the tour was what youd expect, and at the end joshua jackson got in the way of one of my film shots (i didnt realize it was him until after i asked him to move). i chatted... more

I took my two daughters on this tour a couple of weeks ago. We are all huge one tree hill fans and the tour didn't let us down at all. i was amazed at the work that goes into the set design and the tour guides were very informative. now as we watch the show on monday nights we say... more

I read other reviews and was scared that the tour would be sub par. I called ahead like the sign said and asked what the tour entailed (here is the number if you are wanting it 910-343-3500). I got everything I paid for. I will admit the group does get a little big for my taste and it is walking... more

Don't waste your time. A quick tour of two sets after waiting for 45 minutes past the tour start time. Gift shop was a closet with 1 style of shirt in several colors that you past as being shoved through the ticket line. I wonder where the others who reviewed the tour saw a coffee shop - we saw no... more

I am a huge huge huge Dawson's Creek fan and that's the main reason we traveled to Wilmington. Even though there wasn't much left of the set it meant a lot to me just to be there. We also got to tour the One Tree Hill set. Never seen the show but let me tell you, it was awesome. What... more

I visited Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington, NC during the month of July in 2004 and in January this year. I am as obsessed as they come for "One Tree Hill" and "Dawson's Creek" and I reccomend this tour for anyone who loves these shows. However, if you don't care for either of these shows then you're wasting your time.... more

The Screen Gems tour (7/24/04) was a TOTAL waste of time and money!! The tour consists of entering 2 or 3 buildings only, led by supposedly informed studio guides. The main tourguide should NOT be leading tours; she would fixate on items such as "we don't have running water on the sets... the food in the refrigerator is fake...the appliances... more

My friends and I went to Wilmington for a weekend vacation and thought it would be cool to go on the Screen Gems Studio tour. We are big fans of the new WB show "One Tree Hill" and got to see the sets for that and a few left from "Dawsons Creek". We had an amazing time and were incredibly... more

For those that put down the Screen Gems Studio tour, you are very wrong. Maybe the tour wasn't eventful enough for you, but what do you really expect from a studio tour. All your going to see is sets and both empty and set up studios. What do you expect, to have James and Katie introduce themselves while your walking... more
