The Abyss Abandoned Film Site
When James Cameron was directing The Abyss in 1987, he opted to film the underwater at the unfinished Cherokee Nuclear Power Plant near Gaffney Cameron's crew constructed one of the largest underwater film stages ever built and — because of the sheer cost of disassembling it — were forced to abandon it to the elements for 20 years. Even though the seven-million-gallon, forty-foot-deep set was eventually demolished in 2007, we're lucky to have photographic evidence of this cinematic monolith. A tipster has generously provided us with dozens of pictures from urban exploration missions to The Abyss' rusting Deepcore seabase. These shots were taken from 2003-2004. And just for kicks, here's how the place looked in 1994. I imagine if you slept there at night, the ethereal visage of Ed Harris warbled a sweet siren song, tempting you to take a dip in the stagnant water. I've been there, no big beal sneaking in, still a lot of artifacts.. Once again excuse the eye pad, multiple pictures not allowed to post, so I'll post the links |
