See How Rick Ross’s Atlanta Home Was Transformed for the Set of 2018’s Superfly

Director X chose Atlanta as the location to remake the iconic 1972 film “Suρer Fly,” and the city played a crucial role in the film’s production design. Rick Ross’s 12-bedroom mansion in Fayetteville, Georgia, served as the base for the cоcaine dealer Youngblood Priest’s enemies, the Snow Patrol, in the movie.

Ross purchased the foreclosed Georgian-style estate, known as Villa Vittoriosa or “Victory,” in 2014 for $5.8 million. The mansion sits on 235 acres and boasts 109 rooms, including a bowling alley and a theater that can accommodate 135 people. It also features a 350,000-gallon pool.

Suρer Fly’s production designer, Graham “Grace” Walker, worked to transform Ross’s mansion into a movie set. He described the mansion’s original decor as “rapperesque,” filled with photographs of Rick Ross, gold records, and numerous decorations. The dining room was particularly extravagant, with expensive plates and cutlery.

However, Director X had a different vision for the film’s aesthetic, so Walker and his set decorator, Kristen Donaldson, had to re-dress the mansion in just one day to match the movie’s style. This included creating a room decorated in shades of white, reflecting the Snow Patrol’s Ԁrug-fueled activities.

Despite the rapid transformation, Rick Ross was reportedly impressed with the result and even expressed interest in hiring the decorator responsible for the Suρer Fly set.
