Ever wonder where your childhood stars go after their big debuts in your favorite shows? Well, some of them end up in Indianapolis. Dylan Sprouse, more lovingly known by Gen Z as Zack from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Suite Life on Deck, ended up in Indianapolis for the filming of his latest movie, The Duel. You may recognize Sprouse from some other pieces he has been in since his role as Zack, he has played prominent roles in movies like Beautiful Disaster, Beautiful Wedding, and After We Collided. Sprouse is making his first debut as an Executive Producer and with the help of Indy-based film company, Pigasus Pictures, The Duel has turned into a passion project.

The movie was filmed in Indy during the pandemic in 2020 and it’s very likely that some of your favorite spots in Indy turned into “picture-perfect” locations for the film. Here is a list of the Indy spots that made it into the movie.
