The Green Mile was filmed in multiple locations including Tennessee, North Carolina, and California. Specifically, key filming locations were:
- Tennessee State Prison in Nashville, Tennessee (used for the prison scenes).
- Shelbyville, Tennessee.
- College Grove, Tennessee (College Grove United Methodist Church for funeral scenes).
- Lewisburg, Tennessee (Round Hill Cemetery for graveyard scenes).
- Blowing Rock, North Carolina (the nursing home scenes were shot at The Cone Manor in Moses Cone Memorial Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway).
- Warner Hollywood Studios and Warner Brothers Burbank Studios in California (used for interior prison sets and certain close-up shots).
- Caney Fork River Bridge, Lancaster, Tennessee (for the scene where John Coffey is discovered).
These locations together provided both outdoor natural settings and studio sets for the film's production.
