The Biltmore Estate-Asheville, North Carolina


I've been inside that house. Most of the scenes in the movie were shot inside.
I recognized 3 of the rooms.

WOW, good for you.

Do you want a cookie?

How about an award?

reply

Oh shut up subsound. I went there like 3 months ago and they pointed out the rooms where Richie Rich was filmed at.

I live in Hendersonville NC which is about 30 mins away from Asheville. So i have been in the Biltmore house loads of times.

reply

Is it really as big as it looks inside?

reply

I go to school at Appalachian State.. so I've been there a bunch of times too.. I have a few friends who had their proms there.

Sometimes people have feelings. I am referrin' to people here.

Mhjm6 it is really big. Ad it is so beautiful I wish I had lived there (as long as I had a lot of other people living there, because it would get creepy being alone in such a big house)

Gnarylime I just graduated from West Henderson High in Hendersonville and I had both my junior and senior prom at the Deerpark a restaurant located on the Biltmore grounds.

reply

It does look huge inside and out, but I wouldn't mind at all having it all to myself, except for a butler like Cadbury. I just hope he wouldn't be like the butler in "Mr. Deeds." I'd love to see what it all looks like.

I was there on a field trip when they were taping that movie. Couple of us talked to the butler. I have pics of some of the stuff there like the dollar sign bushes.

reply

have their been any other movies filmed there

reply

yeah I know others have I just can't remember which ones. I live in asheville too and thats where we had our prom. It's an amazing place; not only the house but the whole estate.

reply

Much of the Green Mile was filmed in Banner Elk(right outside of Boone) and I remember the pocal paper talking about all the producers had to go through to shoot there, including hefty fines for destroying as much as a little twig. They were told that they had to leave it the way they found it, and being a rich area, were not impressed by Hollywood. I respect it-keep it clean or piss off, Hollywood!

reply

One of the times I visited the estate they were filming "Patch Adams." They stopped us from moving and we had to sit around for a good bit before we could get going again.

Peter Sellers' "Being There," among other films, was also filmed there.



Warner Bros has answered our prayers-- BLADE RUNNER: FINAL CUT--in theaters and DVD in 2007 !

Biltmore has been a location for a number of movies.

And I have been wondering about the fictional locations of the various fictional estates which Biltmore has portrayed.

I have read that Richie Rich (1994) is set in Chicago. Though I suppose that the precise fictional location, if mentioned, would be outside the city of Chicago in Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin. Was a more exact location than the Chicago area mentioned?
