Summary
- Filming for 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' movie has started.
- A boat scene in Southport, North Carolina revealed filming progress.
- Reports indicate salary renegotiations caused on-set drama.
Production for the highly anticipated 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' movie officially began on May 1, with filming observed in Southport, North Carolina. Fan-captured footage from a boat scene offered a glimpse of the cast, suggesting possible romantic pairings and even a potential ring for one character.
Author Jenny Han had previously indicated in December that the film was in its nascent stages, stating no filming had yet occurred. Last month, however, reports confirmed that the main cast, including Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno, were set to start shooting.
Behind the scenes, some drama reportedly unfolded due to salary disputes. Sources revealed that lead actors engaged in renegotiations for their compensation ahead of season 3, particularly as they were asked to commit to the movie. Concerns were raised that salary increases were contingent on agreeing to the film, with some actors feeling pressured to sign.
This situation also led to discussions about contractual obligations for promotional activities, as actors might be hesitant to participate in publicity if their deals were perceived as unfavorable.
