UPDATE: I’ve just confirmed that the driver of a car crashed through Gate 5 on the northside of the Warner Bros lot in Burbank late this afternoon and sped onto the property. Burbank Police were called and now have detained him. Authorities are checking to see if he had any weapons with him. Every showbiz company is on alert ever since that gunman took hostages at the Discovery Communications headquarters back east.

Robert Towne finally makes a deadline.
The biggest laugh of the day!
Hey Dredly. If I had been driving and read your post I would have swerved and crashed, howling all the while.
Very, very funny! Thanks, I needed that.
???? What gate??? I’m on the lot now and haven’t heard anything?
Gate 5 WB Employee.
Well, Mel, now we’re DEFINITELY not making Lethal Weapon 6.
I’m all for safety and I realize that this was a potentially dangerous situation, but I can’t get the image of a crazed screenwriter storming the gates of WB with one hand on his script and the other on the wheel. “By God They Can’t Ignore Me Forever!”
Hope all is quiet on the WB lot.
There was a time I’d dismiss this as the act of a random nut but nowadays you never know. Glad no one was hurt.
Mark, oh yes he can.
Reckless scumbags behind the wheel are reckless scumbags behind the wheel vehicle or no vehicle.
Not to be indulged for the good of society.
I just left the wb lot and all was quiet, all I heard was that gate 5 was closed per a company wide email earlier today.
Gary Busey and Eric Roberts out joyriding – take it easy
An email notifying employees iof the gate closure went out at 5:30 pm.
“Sorry about that. If I don’t get the E.P. his grande drip from Starbucks by 5pm, well, I’ll never be able to call in his lunch order in this town again!”
Our business recently had to go into lockdown and hire an armed guard because of real threats from a whackjob former employee off his meds. Bitter little snot-nosed PA’s have no idea how much true danger the security at the studios is actually faced with. people in this town have lost their minds – a lot of it due to the loss of work. You can all be cute and flippant…until you’ve been on the terrorized end of that wrath.
Not defending “Bitter little snot-nosed PA’s” but whose not to say that a security guard can’t flip out? Or an exec. at the studio? Geez eyes wide shut….
It’s amazing, back in the ’80s we used to go on and off lots all the time with no trouble at all. Warners (The Burbank Studios back then) was one of the easiest, just tell the guard where you’re going and you’re in.
What are they afraid of? That someone will break onto the lot and make a decent movie for once?
