Is that yhe one where a good portion burned down a few years back? Where Westworld shot?
That is Paramount Ranch, not too far away. Though I did find out that Melody Ranch did suffer a major fire in 1962 that burnt down much of this street you're seeing. When we were there it felt very old and authentic. We spent about a week filming in the same saloon that was used in Django Unchained when Christoph Waltz's character shoots the town sheriff towards the beginning of the movie. We also had a lot of live animals like horses, oxen, and chickens.
Very cool. Glad yall are able to keep shooting with the strike. I know a lot of productions that have been shut down and a lot of friends out of work right now.
Yeah, it has definitely slowed down a lot recently. This was a non-union feature we shot about 2 months ago, but nearly everyone on the crew was union because none of the normal shows were starting back up, even months before the strike (because the studios knew it was coming) so the union folks were taking whatever they could get. Though this project was a lot of fun and has some very notable talent. We're actually shooting another week of pickup shots this month to finish it off.
