"Illusion"

The Warner Grand San Pedro was used for "Illusion" (Illusion Productions, 2004) starring Kirk Douglas as an aging filmmaker. We see a lot of the Warner in the film but if you watch it you'll probably want that 90 minutes of your life back.

The most fun you'll have looking at the Warner shots in the film is this one with the seats covered the three colors of the Mexican flag, from when the theatre was a film house called the "Juarez."(Well, sort of yellow rather than white in the center section).

A look up toward the booth. The projection booth scenes of the movie were filmed at the Roxie in San Francisco.

A proscenium view from "Illusion." Thanks to Robb Hedges for noting the use of the Warner in the movie.

See the pages about the Warner Grand on the Los Angeles Theatres site for a history of the building and many photos. It's currently doing well as a performing arts center owned by the City of Los Angeles.
