Boy Erased was shot in California, Tennessee, and Atlanta. Beginning at the beginning of September 2017 and ending at the end of October of the same year, the film’s filming took place. In April 2018, the team was required to come together for a few retakes. Now, let’s look at all the sites where “Boy Erased” was filmed.
Atlanta Metropolitan Area, Georgia
The majority of the movie was filmed in Georgia’s Atlanta Metropolitan Area. The majority of Jared’s life’s scenes, including those set in his house, place of education, and college, were shot in Atlanta and its surrounding areas. In the movie, Marshall Eamons, the father of Jared, runs a car dealership. The scenes for the dealership were filmed in Conyers, an Atlanta suburb. In September 2017, the movie’s director of photography, Eduard Grau, posted on social media that shooting had begun. “We start Boy Erased with these two geniuses in their own way,” he said with a photo from the Atlanta set of “Boy Erased” on Instagram.
The production team used Morehouse collegiate’s campus, which is located at 830 Westview Drive Southwest in Atlanta, for the collegiate sequences. The movie also includes scenes from the Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Decatur, which is located at 2005 South Columbia Place. The aforementioned chapel is purportedly where sequences from the Conversion Therapy Programme, where Jared is sent, were filmed. Reports of Nicole Kidman’s arrival on the Atlanta set of the movie in October of that same year circulated. Joe Alwyn, who plays Henry Wallace in the movie, was also seen working on the site around the same month.
Atlanta is renowned for having a diversified geography, which makes it a great place to shoot various projects. The metropolitan area has a suburban area in addition to the city’s skyline, as well as mountains, forests, coastal regions, and some historical monuments. The government also offers tax breaks to production companies who want to film in Atlanta. As a result, the city has served as a location for filming numerous projects, including “Boy Erased.”
movies such as “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.” Atlanta has served as the location for the films “Haunted Mansion,” “Insidious: The Red Door,” “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “Avengers: Endgame,” “The Suicide Squad,” “Jurassic World: Dominion,” and “Shazam! Fury of the Gods.” Television programmes such “Citadel,” “Ozark,” “The Vampire Diaries,” “Stranger Things,” “The Walking Dead,” “Secret Invasion,” “Teen Wolf,” and “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” have also been produced in the city.
Memphis, Tennessee
Garrard Conley was actually transferred to a Memphis, Tennessee, conversion therapy programme. To film the scenes of Jared’s struggle at the programme, the production crew established a camp in the same city. Memphis, the city that gave birth to rock ‘n’ roll, is well-known for its historical and cultural significance as well as its beautiful surroundings. Other films that have used the city as a backdrop include “The Silence of the Lambs,” “Cast Away,” “Walk the Line,” and “Elvis.”
Los Angeles, California
‘Boy Erased’ had some additional scenes that were shot in a studio in Los Angeles, California. Hollywood, the glitzy neighbourhood famously known as “the entertainment capital of the world,” is located in the expansive City of Angels, which is known as the “home of American cinema.” Aside from that, LA is brimming with locations that are ideal for filming, talented crews, a wealth of equipment, excellent weather, and a number of significant production companies. It is hardly unexpected that many filmmakers choose it as their first choice for filming because of this.
