Where exactly is this filming location (town, street, exact location, etc). I enjoy seeing filming locations and was wondering exactly where this one is located. It was a great move and I’d love to see it.

Oh, John. This just made my night. I worked worked on a film called Dead Birds that shot there not long after you guys. I had the glorious role “Blonde Soldier”. I’m working on a script right now that might bring me back to that set. Thanks for the free location scout.

I actually did shoot a short film there in 2005. It was my thesis at FSU Film School and featured the church, the cabin to the right and the man-made forest, as well as all the roads around Jackson Lake. It was a surreal experience actually shooting on the Big Fish set. If you’re interested, my short is “The Resurrectionist” and production photos are online at http://www.the-resurrectionist.com.

Wow! Beautiful images … I’d love to shoot a film there. I wonder if the land owner would be open to that?

Wow, great shots. Kinda creepy though, and a bit sad.

It would really make a good movie set. ;)

Abandoned movie set in the rural South is haunted by a demented screenwriter - forgotten when a long ago production wrapped (he was sent on a snipe hunt when he kept talking to the actors).

A group of college kids on a road trip camp out in the rotting structures after their car breaks down after a wrong turn.

After dispatching all but one of the group in gruesome and creative ways he is outsmarted by the heroine who offers her iPhone so the writer can call his agent. She gives him a makeover while they await rescue, just like Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy in the Breakfast Club.

Writer hires her as his assistant. After a couple of years she moves on when she receives her first Academy award nomination.

Thanks for the answer John.

I loved Big Fish so it feels good to know that part of Edward Bloom's story is a "real" place somewhere. Even if only when seen from the outside. Would be fun to visit sometime. The world could need a few more places like Spectre.

I can see why he didn’t want the sets destroyed. Even through the lens of a ‘normal’ camera the scenery looks great — it really resounds with me because I thought the beauty of Big Fish was its simply beauty offset by the layered script. Nice pics anyway.
