Starting later this month, fans of upcoming manga-turned-film “Alita: Battle Angel” will be able to visit the iconic Kansas Bar and walk the streets of Iron City as part of an immersive experience opening in Austin, Los Angeles, and New York.
“Passport to Iron City” is described as an immersive experience based in the world of the film by Robert Rodriguez, James Cameron, and Jon Landau.
Guests explore the movie’s Iron City — which has been recreated by the film’s production designers — and interact with the City’s residents, earn credits by completing puzzles and challenges, experiment with custom technology built for the retro-future Alita aesthetic, and uncover hidden clues to determine their fate with the city’s controlling force.
The ticketed visit opens at a replica of the Kansas bar, a pivotal location in the film, where they’ll mingle, meet their teams and learn more about the secrets of Iron City.

Last week, HeyUGuys were invited along to Robert Rodriguez Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas by Twentieth Century Fox for a very special trip to find out how their latest home entertainment release, Predators was created. We got to chat with the awesome production team at Troublemaker Studios, looking at everything from how they made the posters to how they created a real life alien planet out in the back lot – and all this in a little over a year.
We’ve already posted the video Q&A with special effects legend, Greg Nicotero along with my studio visit report and today, we have a very cool interview with the Production Design heads, Steve Joyner and Caylah Eddleblute who tell us what we can expect from the Blu-ray. They also tell us how they managed to create such an amazing set within their own studio.

The new Predators movie, directed by Nimrod Antal and produced by Robert Rodriguez, sees a group of killers dropped onto an alien game reserve - where they are the prey.
The team, led by a man called Royce (Adrien Brody), must try to work together to fend off Predators and other menacing creatures.
So how was the extraterrestrial jungle world created? The film's production team took us behind the scenes to find out.
The film began production on October 12, 2009 in the jungles of Hawaii, and then the cast and crew completed the shoot at Rodriguez' Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas.
Much of the film's visual style was defined by its jungle locations and sets. "Early on, we sat down and tried to think of other films that had epic jungle scenes that were really visually stunning and complemented what the story was trying to achieve," said director Nimrod Antal.

Photo: 20th Century Fox This place stinks like mothballs cooked in engine oil and looks like Satan's hillbilly backyard. A three-story cliff wall looms over a flat area carpeted in woodchips, dead foliage, rocks, burnt logs, pointy leafless trees, fortified animal cages, and a huge piece of alien architecture resembling a trident prong jutting from the ground. Canvasses of stretched skin hang like kites caught in trees. Human, animal, perhaps even dinosaur skulls and bones litter the terrain. Some of them are twined together into ghastly sculptures. Mounds of lumpy viscera and blood punctuate the landscape.
Welcome to Texas.
Or more precisely, welcome to the set of Predators. Or even more precisely, welcome to the Predators' hunting camp built in the parking lot of Troublemaker Studios on the outskirts of Austin, Texas. This is where the hunters hold up, relax,...
