'universal studios' features?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with fundamental existence as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'scorsese directs somewhat revolutionary' is the wordplay.
'somewhat' indicates a hidden word.
'revolutionary' says the letters should be written in reverse (letters revolve around).
'sedir' can be found hidden inside 'scorsese directs'.
'sedir' in reverse letter order is 'RIDES'.
