Valdosta movies One of the earliest movies filmed in Valdosta was "The Legend of Hell House" (1973), a supernatural horror film directed by John Hough. The movie was primarily shot at the Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation, a historic site located just outside the city. The plantation's eerie atmosphere and rich history made it the perfect location for the haunted house scenes in the film. In 1989, Valdosta became the backdrop for the romantic drama "Dream a Little Dream," starring Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, and Jason Robards. The movie follows the story of two teenagers who switch bodies after a bizarre accident involving an experimental machine. Many scenes were filmed in and around Valdosta, including the Valdosta State University campus and the historic district. Another notable production is the 2006 comedy "The Benchwarmers," starring Rob Schneider, David Spade, and Jon Heder. The movie tells the story of three middle-aged men who form a little league baseball team to take on a group of bullies. Although the movie was primarily filmed in California, the opening scenes were shot at the Martin Stadium in Valdosta. Valdosta's movie production scene gained further momentum in 2012 with the filming of the drama "42," directed by Brian Helgeland. The movie chronicles the life of Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play in Major League Baseball. The Valdosta-Lowndes County Airport was transformed into a 1940s-era airport for the film, and local residents were given the opportunity to participate as extras.
