The Retro Ranch...A Star is Born!

That may be a bit over dramatic, but we have been told by the Retro Ranch's new owner that the house will be used in a major motion picture (reference: That Thing You Do!) The owner tells us that the crew had been leaving notes at the house and finally knocked on the window two weeks ago. The director of the movie came by on Wednesday and approved the location. The film, starring James Franco, is set in the 1970's and is a true crime movie about the Golden State murders. They begin filming today, both inside and outside the house.

Who wouldn't want to film a major motion picture here?

We believe the filmmakers found the Retro Ranch because of the amazing marketing by The Reger Group when they were selling the house. You can find the links to the video and two local articles about the Retro Ranch here. The listing is no longer active so you can't view the photos of the house anymore. With that in mind I'm including the listing photos for the Retro Ranch. She's ready for her close up!
