NBC’s Surface
Films in Southport Area
August 26, 2005 - Southport,
North
Carolina (NC) - NBC’s new series, Surface, has been filming in the
Southport area. The show, which is a
drama/adventure series, is about the discovery of new species being
found in our oceans.
Film crews were on location today to shoot two different scenes for
upcoming episodes. The first was a parasailing scene shot on the
Cape Fear River. In this scene a woman who is parasailing watches in
horror as the ocean below her is quickly being sucked away. The
second scene was shot on the west dam in Boiling Spring Lakes. This
scene involved the lake being mysteriously drained. Residents of
Boiling Spring Lakes may have been wondering why the west dam has
been draining for the past week or so. The purpose was for the
shooting of this scene.
The series will be filmed
mostly in
Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach, but will film
sporadically around the Southport and Fort Fisher areas. Each
episode takes about 8 days to shoot, and for each episode they
usually shoot three days at Screen Gems Studios and five days at
different on-site locations. Screen Gems Studios, located in
Wilmington, NC is the largest motion picture studio east of
California. Screen Gems is the same studio that was home of Dawson’s
Creek for six years and is currently the home of the WB’s One Tree
Hill.
Surface stars Lake Bell as
Laura Daughtery, Jay Ferguson as Rich Connelly and Carter Jenkins as
Miles. Although filmed in the
Wilmington/Southport, NC area, the show is set in several different
areas around the country including North Carolina, Louisiana,
California and Washington, D.C. The show’s scenes also “travel” all
over the United States. Today’s scene at the west dam was set in
Lake Travis, Texas.
Mark your calendars to watch
Surface’s premiere on Monday, September 19th at 8:00pm on NBC. Who
knows what familiar places you might recognize!
