You take a bad boy, make him dig holes all day long in the hot sun, it makes him a good boy. That's our philosophy here at Camp Green Lake. So says Mr. Sir, the overseer of a bizarre juvenile correction center that sits in the middle of the desert, surrounded by countless holes, each one 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide.
It is the fate of the boys sentenced there to dig one hole a day, day after day; like Sisyphus, who was condemned to forever roll a rock to the top of a hill so that it could roll back down again, they are caught in a tragic loop. Like " Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory ," it has fearsome depths and secrets. Based on the much-honored young adult's novel by Louis Sachar , it has been given the top-shelf treatment: The director is Andrew Davis " The Fugitive " and the cast includes not only talented young stars but also weirdness from adults such as Jon Voight , Sigourney Weaver , Tim Blake Nelson and Patricia Arquette.
In a time when mainstream action is rigidly contained within formulas, maybe there's more freedom to be found in a young people's adventure. I found it original and intriguing. It'll be a change after dumbed-down, one-level family stories, but a lot of kids in the upper grades will have read the book, and no doubt their younger brothers and sisters have had it explained to them. If you doubt the novel's Harry Potter-like penetration into the youth culture, ask a seventh-grader who Armpit is.
The story involves Stanley Yelnats IV Shia LaBeouf as a good kid who gets charged with a crime through no fault of his own, and is shipped off to Camp Green Lake, which is little more than a desert bunkhouse surrounded by holes.
There he meets his fellow prisoners and the ominous supervisory staff: Mr. Sir Jon Voight and Mr. Smith Squid as Squid. Byron Cotton Armpit as Armpit. Miguel Castro Magnet as Magnet. Max Kasch Zigzag as Zigzag. Noah Poletiek Twitch as Twitch. Zane Holtz Barfbag as Barfbag. Ski Carr Guard as Guard. Ray Baker Asst. Attorney General as Asst. Attorney General. Andrew Davis.

One hundred years later Stanley Yelnats IV is accused of stealing a pair of cleats from a major league baseball player and sent to Camp Green Lake a dry lake bed in the middle of the desert. It never rains at Camp Green Lake, it hasn't for one hundred years. The secretive and mysterious Warden has each inmate spend every day digging one hole to "build character. But what? Okay, so where was the movie Holes filmed exactly!? Producers chose to film the entire movie in the state of California and not Texas where the movie is actually set!
So there are quite a few different locations used in California during the production of this movie. One fun fact about the movie is that they actually filmed in a real desert in the exhausting desert heat.
The producers chose the Mojave Desert for any scenes that take place in the desert. Next up we have the bridge that you see Stanley running under. However, that bridge has since then been demolished. There's nowhere to swing it!
If you rewatch the original trailer for the film , you will see orange jumpsuits, but there's no mention of a juvenile correctional facility.

Some lucky fans got to join him in the movie theater, but LaBeouf's reactions were also livestreamed throughout the movie marathon.

So, they put us through physical training. We ran, we climbed ropes, they had us really dig holes for a minute.
Before Sigourney Weaver signed on to play the Warden in "Holes," her daughter was already a fan of the story. She continued, "I don't know why she thought that.
