Hatteras Island Real Estate Blog

Did you know that part of a major Hollywood movie is going to be filmed on Hatteras Island?  “Nights in Rodanthe”, based on a novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks is scheduled to start shooting on May 9^th.  Richard Gere and Diane Lane will be the stars of the film.  Even more exciting, if you are on the island and would like to try out for a part, a casting call will be held at the Lost Colony building at Fort Raleigh in Manteo on May 4^th from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and again on May 5^th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.  Reportedly, as many as 400 locals may be selected for a scene depicting an oyster roast or a crab picking. There may actually be some speaking roles!

According to The Virginian-Pilot newspaper, “the story is about a divorced middle-age mother who meets a retired doctor and falls in love while visiting Rodanthe.” Scenes are scheduled to be shot in Manns Harbor, Manteo, Ocracoke, Rodanthe, the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station, the ferry dock, and the Rodanthe pier.

In our opinion and in the opinion of others, not only will the movie be fun, but it has the potential to create an awareness of Hatteras Island and its natural beauty.

Who knows, we may see you on the silver screen!
