Plymouth Rock Studios was a proposed film and television production studio in Massachusetts.[1] The studio had held a now-expired option to buy Waverly Oaks Golf Club in Plymouth as the site[2] for the $650 million, 1,260,000-square-foot (117,000 m2) development originally slated to be complete in 2010. The proposal included fourteen sound stages 10-acre (40,000 m2) back lots, a multipurpose theater, a hotel and offices.[3] The original proposed location for the studio complex was located in South Plymouth, near the town lines of Bourne and Wareham,[4] but was rejected because of faulty land titles.[5]

Construction of the studio was planned to start in July 2009,[6] but was delayed indefinitely in November 2009 when construction funding fell through weeks before the planned groundbreaking.[7]
