Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center operated as a school until 1957, before becoming the arts center in 1976.

Some iconic features of the park include the glistening Cooke Fountain and the bandstand, designed to resemble the original Victorian bandstand that once sat in its place.

Today, Bonar Hall’s 13 sprawling acres also include formal boxwood gardens with rare trees and shrubs imported from around the world.

In 2004, the home was used for hospital scenes in the HBO film “Warm Springs.” Cynthia Nixon, Kenneth Branagh and Kathy Bates starred in this inspiring piece about Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s struggle with polio. Scenes from “ The Vampire Diaries ” and “ The Originals ” have also been filmed here.

Left as a reminder of the CCC crews that built the park, Camp Daniel Morgan was used as a campsite for three well-known movies. 1980’s “Little Darlings” starring Tatum O’Neal and Matt Dillon, 1985’s TV film “Poison Ivy” starring Michael J. Fox, and 1986’s “Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives” were all filmed here.

Susie Agnes Hotel

5951 Bostwick Rd, Bostwick, GA 30623

Located in nearby  Bostwick , the Susie Agnes Hotel was built in 1902 by the town’s founder John Bostwick. Named for his wife and sister, it operated as a hotel and boarding house with commercial space for many years. In 1992, it was used as the second hotel where Vinny and Mona Lisa Vito stayed in the hit film  “ My Cousin Vinny .”

The building now serves as Bostwick’s City Hall. Bostwick is also home to the remake of the movie “Footloose,” as well as the annual Bostwick Cotton Gin Festival , which is held every November in support of the former Susie Agnes Hotel building’s restoration.

Casting directors posted an open call for actors interested in working as extras on a new Warner Bros. Superman movie filming in Georgia, including in the Macon area at the end of May. 

The film has a working title of “Genesis,” but last year  “Hollywood North Buzz” reported  it is Superman: Legacy , the first installment of James Gunn’s reboot of the DC Universe.

On Feb. 29, the first day of principal photography on the film, director Gunn announced he  renamed the final script  simply Superman  and removed “Legacy” from the title.

On  auditionsfree.com , an updated casting call from  centralcasting.com  is looking for people in Middle Georgia who “can portray South Asian or Caucasian for this particular part of filming.”

South Asians of all ages, including minors, should apply, but the call for white actors is for those 18 years old and older, according to the post. 

“You will be asked to run in the sand with loud sounds going off occasionally around you, so please be sure you are physically equipped and can work for 12 hours a day for four days straight in Macon, Ga.,” the release stated. 

To be considered, applicants must be available for multiple days in late May and early June. 

Apply to be an extra

Anyone wanting to work on the movie is asked to email their name, contact information — including phone number and email — and a current picture to  [email protected] .

Adults also can register with Central Casting for other opportunities by going online to  centralcasting.com/ga/sign-up .

Although the Superman production only is expected to be filming a handful of days, crews are expected to be in Macon for weeks to prepare for scene work. 

While official details about filming locations have not been released, The Macon Newsroom has learned a movie crew will be setting up temporary quarters in the Terminal Station after the departure of the Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission to its new location at Macon Mall. Those dates coincide with the “Genesis” shooting schedule announced in the casting release.  

Other published reports say the movie currently is in production at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville. 

Plot summations show the film will explore “Superman’s quest to reconcile his Kryptonian roots with his upbringing as Clark Kent in the quaint town of Smallville, Kansas. Embodied as the beacon of truth, justice, and the American way, Superman grapples with the challenge of upholding these virtues in a world where such values are often considered antiquated. The role of the new Superman will be portrayed by David Corenswet.”

The movie has a  release date of July 11, 2025.

This story comes to GPB through a reporting partnership with the  Macon Newsroom .
