I read online the crew used for this film are convicted felons. True story!

Not true! One of my best friends was a crew member on this film, he and the others were definitely not convicts!!

Do you know where it was filmed?

[–] OrlockBJ 20 years ago

It wasn't shot by convicts and it was filmed on a French Plantation in Southern Alabama.

Actually if you watch the making of special on the DVD you will discover that convicts DID work on the project as part of a rehabilitation program called IPERP.

Fellatio... it's a new exchange. F E

Ok so yes there were convicts that worked on building the set..I.e. restoring the plantation house which was a lil moldy and highly unused. The whole crew was not made up of convicts..I should know my dad was the costume designer and he is not a convict!

You mean as in your dad MR Blair?

He most certainly IS a convict or SHOULD be one especially after plunging the UK into the politically-correct freedom-stealing wasteland we now inhabit.
OH?
Sorry, i thought you were THAT Blair, my apologies ;-)

Does anyone know what cities this was filmed near? The beginning of the movie says Fairhope, but I know that isn't where it was filmed.

The house scenes were filmed in Mobile, Alabama on some property that belongs to Spring Hill College. The city scenes were filmed in northern Alabama at a set abandoned by Tim Burton for Big Fish.

Exactly. It is actually on the old set of big fish in Wetumpka at Jackson Lake. I have been on set and have pics. If anyone would like them emailed to them to look at just leave your email address.

The IPERP referenced in the documentary is a JOKE guys. They just wanted to freak out the set designer.
