It is home to a number of endangered species and boasts one of the largest pine barrens in the world. There is no water or sewer service, no electricity, and only one road in and out.
But film industry veterans see the 1,000 wooded acres in the South Plymouth middle-of-nowhere as the perfect spot for Plymouth Rock Studios, a 1 million-square-foot, $300 million film studio complex.

Or will the promise of as many as 2,000 new jobs and economic development be enough to overcome a list of make-or-break requirements that include the construction of a highway access ramp off Route 25? David Kirkpatrick, a co-founder of Project Julia LLC, the company formed to build Plymouth Rock Studios, said he wants to be open for business in two years.
In this video, town planning board member Loring Tripp and South Plymouth resident Tim Grandy discuss the project's prospects for success.

Also, a theme park seemed like a good idea at the time, but that would have just made a lot more ppl come for no reason, whereas this film studio will cause more ppl but at the same time those ppl will be creating something excellent!

This is such an amazing idea! I'm only 17 but I'll be done with school by the time this is built and I love the idea. I've always wanted to be a Hollywood actress and if I can do that close to home...Well that would be AMAZING!
