The Alamo Movie Set

My father came to Austin and together we went to the location of the 2004 movie starring Jason Patrick, Billy Bob Thorton and Dennis Quaid.

This is a quick view of the Alamo set. There are more pictures on my myspace page: myspace.com/benjiwilbanks

It's not "abandoned" in the sense that it's in the middle of a large working ranch. There is a house not 1/4 mile from the set, and goats are kept in the Alamo set area.

I am happy to see the set is till on display. Could you tell me where that set is located and do you know if it is also the one that was used in John Wayne's movie the Alamo? Thanks for showing this.

This is the set to the 2004 Alamo film directed by John Lee Hancock. The John Wayne set is in Brackettville, Texas - it's called Alamo Village, and is open for tours, and film production. This set is falling into disrepair, and will eventually (soon) fall in.

For those who hoped this would become a tourist attraction, the set burned in a wildfire on 9/27/2011

A friend of mine's grandfather road with Poncho Villa and was an technical adviser on the John Wayne Production of The Alamo. He also provided many of the guns used in the movie. I was in Wimberly Texas today (3-2-11) as a few of the canons were trucked to San Antonio for the Texas Independance Day Celebration. The truck stopped for photographs ! ! ! Viva Texas ! ! !
