A name change and more than three years later, Door County will get its close-up on the silver screen. The movie “Green and Gold” is set to debut in theaters later this week. The movie was called “God Loves the Green Bay Packers” when the movie’s producers, Davin and Anders Lindwall, were filming in parts of Door County. Filmed in the fall of 2021, Baileys Harbor provided the backdrop for a scene involving a fish fry and a bar, while a church in Brussels and a farm in Egg Harbor were also used in the shooting of the film starring Craig T. Nelson and Charlie Berens.
Nelson thanked the people of Door County for their hospitality during the movie shoot at a premiere event held at Lambeau Field earlier this month. With the movie coming out just months before the NFL Draft, Destination Door County’s Jen Rogers says the timing could not be better to showcase the peninsula.
The movie hits theaters nationwide on January 31st, including at the Sturgeon Bay Cinema.
