Apple has reportedly taken over a small town as it begins filming for the upcoming show The Big Door Prize<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Set to star Chris O’Dowd among others<\/a>, the unannounced Apple TV+ show<\/a> looks to have taken over Loganville, Georgia for filming according to tweets by Matthew Smith. Photos show references to Deerfield, the fictional area the show will be set in.<\/p>\n

Here’s how Deadline<\/a> describes the show and O’Dowd’s role in it:<\/p>\n

\n

O’Dowd’s Dusty is a good-natured teacher and family man whose deeply average life has followed a safe and predictable path, until the appearance of the mystifying machine forces him to question his own happiness.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Popped into the barber shop today and found our little town is being used as a filming location for a production called \u201cDeerfield\u201d. All the old shops have been repurposed, repainted, and redressed, kind of exciting! #film<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/wljmKGFrEI<\/a><\/p>\n

While Smith calls the production “Deerfield” initially, they correct that to “Zoltar” in a follow-up tweet. However, as AppleInsider<\/a> reports, that’s a misunderstanding surrounding the project’s name.<\/p>\n

Smith goes on to say the set is for “Apple TV series named Zoltar and it revolves around a high school teacher in a small town.”<\/p>\n

\n

The confusion over the title is understandable, as there’s some crossover between the confirmed show “The Big Door Prize” and “Zoltar.” The latter refers to a famous fortune-telling vending machine from the film “Big,” which has previously been tipped to become a TV show, and does have multiple IMDB listings.<\/p>\n

“The Big Door Prize” does have some parallels, in that it follows the residents of the small town called Deerfield who discover a magical, destiny-predicting machine in their grocery store. However, the show, which has Chris O’Dowd starring as a teacher, is based on the M.O. Walsh novel of the same name.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There’s currently no timescale for when the new show will land on Apple TV+<\/a> but it could be another one to check out once it does.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
