The prison scene is rumored to be filmed at the Joliet Correctional Center, which closed in 2002, and has been used in other films, such as “The Blues Brothers” and the location for the first season of Fox Network’s “Prison Break” television show.”We’ve been in talks with the casting agency about filming. As of this time, there are not any confirmed dates,” said Derek Schnapp, spokesperson for the Illinois Department of Corrections.
