Fort Worth In Film

Movie of the Week: Never Goin’ Back (2018)

Filming Locations: Tarrant County jail, steps of the Tarrant County Court House, Fort Worth Central Station bus stop, and a former Chicken Express.

In Never Goin' Back (2018), Fort Worth, Texas, serves as a vibrant backdrop for the film's gritty yet comedic exploration of teenage life. The movie features several key locations in downtown Fort Worth, which help to ground the story in a real and relatable setting. Scenes were filmed at the Tarrant County Jail and the steps of the Tarrant County Courthouse, providing a stark contrast to the carefree attitude of the protagonists as they navigate through their misadventures. These locations underscore the film's themes of youthful rebellion and the desire to break free from societal expectations, set against the backdrop of Fort Worth’s legal and judicial landmarks.

Additionally, the film includes scenes at the Fort Worth Central Station bus stop, capturing the essence of everyday life in the city. This location highlights the characters’ struggles with the mundanity of their daily routine as they dream of a better future. Another significant setting is a former Chicken Express, which adds an element of local Texas culture to the film. By using these specific Fort Worth locations, the movie not only anchors its story in a recognizable and authentic environment but also enhances the narrative's exploration of youthful aspirations and the challenges of breaking away from the ordinary.
