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.
