    Studio City is a Hollywood-inspired cinematically themed entertainment, gaming, retail and leisure destination, the retail mall named The Boulevard, and managed by Taubman Asia.

    René Tremblay, president of Taubman Asia, says The Boulevard brings an “unparalleled shopping experience” to Macau.

    “The Boulevard features high-energy streetscapes with the thrilling feeling of being in a studio back-lot, with featured streets and squares inspired by iconic shopping and entertainment locations, including Beverly Hills and New York’s Times Square. In this unique space, Taubman Asia delivers a mix of contemporary luxury and bespoke shopping options, all artfully curated by our team of experienced retail experts that has spent years carefully researching the market and creating an experience tailored to the needs of Macau’s many visitors,” said Tremblay.

    Macau in the spotlight for press conference of mega Hollywood short film “The Audition,” attracting over 300 media from all over the world.

    “As Taubman Asia’s first project in Macau, The Boulevard is strategically positioned to capture the vast retail opportunity of Macau’s preeminent leisure and tourism market. We’re confident in our partnership with Melco Crown Entertainment and the opportunity Studio City holds for Taubman Asia.”

    Meanwhile, the short film launched last night and screening publicly from today, is led by Scorsese and depicts De Niro, DiCaprio and Brad Pitt playing themselves as they vie for the same part in a fictitious movie.

    “When we first envisioned building a cinematically-themed integrated resort in Macau, we wanted to bring the best of the best of entertainment to the world,” said Lawrence Ho, co-chairman and CEO of Melco Crown Entertainment.

    “[So] it made perfect sense to commission a star-studded Hollywood production to fully conceptualise our goal to reimagine entertainment for Asia. We are extremely proud that we were able to work with the world’s greatest director and actors who are true icons of Hollywood, to successfully produce the first Hollywood movie for Macau.”

    The four mega Hollywood stars completed the Chinese title of “The Audition” in Chinese calligraphy; and presented it to Studio City to commemorate the occasion.

    Melco Crown Entertainment’s co-chairman James Packer added: “Studio City’s official opening represents a key milestone in our strategy to develop Macau as a truly world-leading tourism and entertainment destination, I am extraordinarily proud of what we have achieved here.”
