I paid a visit to the set of Once Upon a Time yesterday as they were filming close by. Actually, there were two sets there, one was an Enchanted Forest flashback scene with Robert Carlyle and Ginnifer Goodwin and the other was the Lost Boys' hideout. They had been filming there the previous day as well, but I had made other plans with my family so decided not to go to that shoot.
When I got there the place was deserted, with only a couple of guys keeping an eye on the Neverland set. It was pretty relaxed for a show that wants to keep as much as possible under wraps this season. I was able to walk around the set without any issues and take pictures. It was a pretty interesting camp.
Incidentally, this is the same location where they filmed the scenes with Ginnifer Goodwin and Lana Parrilla from season two's episode, The Evil Queen, where Snow White discovers the dead villagers.
This is either the late stages of episode two of season three, or the early stages of episode three.
I didn't see any filming on the Lost Boys set, but Colin O'Donoghue, Jennifer Morrison and Lana Parrilla were all going to be on the set. I stayed until around 7pm and then decided to head home. The filming was due to go on until 4am and that's far too late for me to be out there in the woods alone.
So here you go, the first exclusive pictures of the Lost Boys' hideout.

They have craft services in Neverland but they live in tents? What a strange place.
ReplyDeletethis is going to be a 1 season thing right?
ReplyDeletei heard somewhere that it will have a closed ending!
if so and even if not: i will watch this all just before the last episode airs or the day after it in one go.
You're thinking of Once Upon A Time in Wonderland. This is Neverland, which will be featured in the upcoming third season of OUAT.
ReplyDeleteoh boy oh boy to early in the morning. yea i didn't even read the title. lol
ReplyDeleteLooks the Setting on Lost. Only the beach camp is now in the woods.
ReplyDeleteLol i had to read twice... first i read "Wonderland" and then when i see the pics "This isnt wonderland" and then.... " oh rigth Neverland"... everything looks really cool on screen will look 1000 times better
ReplyDeleteHere's to hoping season 3 is as good as season 1 was!
ReplyDeleteCall me crazy but I think that big as hell watermark is just as effective in a corner with a significantly smaller font, and not dead center covering up what the photo is focused on in the first place. O.o
ReplyDeleteWe tried putting the watermark in the corner with a smaller font, but people would then steal the image on crop it out. It's unfortunate that the watermark is dead centre, but alas people won't stop stealing the content.
ReplyDeleteFade the watermark instead then. Just enough so that people can still see the photo itself, but the watermark will also be visible and irremovable in the center.
ReplyDeleteCool, but I'm STILL waiting for "who will play Ariel and Peter Pan?"
ReplyDeleteNo tree-huts?
ReplyDeleteUmmm... which park is this filmed in so I know where to take my kids hiking this weekend? :D
ReplyDeleteI'll settle for just better than S2.... lowering my expectations might work in the show's benefit..
ReplyDeleteI know right?
ReplyDeleteBut I get it. It's too expensive for an on location shoot, if they have to tear it down and then built it back up every time they need to shoot in the camp again.
I would have preferred to get the tree huts and have the lost boys camp as a standing set.
Haha, very true! And that would be a good solution, though it might suggest we won't be in Neverland very long.
ReplyDeleteWith how much they've hyped Neverland they BETTER spend a lot of time there...
ReplyDeleteHey, I agree! Just speculation my part! :)
ReplyDeleteOptimist. ;)
ReplyDeleteNot really... My patience with the show is seriously reaching it's limit, so I'm just trying to be more "whatever" about it....
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know, I try to be the same! Which is why I was being sarcastic! Stupid internet words never convey that properly. :p
