Movie filmed at Middle Tennessee plantation

Hollywood has been transforming Spring Hill’s historic Rippavilla Plantation into a home figuring prominently into Nashville filmmaker Curt Hahn’s upcoming courtroom thriller “Deadline.’’
The movie, which stars Steven Talley and Eric Roberts, tells the story of a fictional Nashville journalist who investigates the unsolved slaying of a black boy in rural Alabama.
Rippavilla was transformed into the home of a wealthy Alabama family where the young murder victim’s mother worked as hired help. The 514 acres surrounding the 19th century Rippavilla contain ancient oaks, hand-stacked rock and a portion of a Civil War battlefield.
The entire film will be shot within the state.
