Film based on Nicholas Sparks book drawing attention in Charleston

The Post and Courier
Thursday, November 13, 2008


BY BILL THOMPSON

The Post and Courier

After having transformed the second-floor lobby of the Galliard Municipal Auditorium into an airport security checkpoint complete with "gates," director Lasse Hallstrm and his "Dear John" crew spent Thursday shooting a series of exterior and interior shots on King Street.

Adapted by screenwriter Jamie Linden ("We Are Marshall") from the novel by Nicholas Sparks, the feature film "Dear John" is approximately midway through its 10-week shoot in the Charleston and Harleyville areas, with additional location filming having taken place on Edisto Island.

The film is a romantic drama involving a young soldier who falls in love with a college student while home on leave and later tries to sustain the relationship through a series of overseas letters. Channing Tatum ("G.I. Joe," "Stop Loss") and Amanda Seyfried ("Mean Girls," "Mamma Mia!") have the leads.

Read more in tomorrow's editions of The Post and Courier, and read Bill Thompson's interview with director Lasse Hallstrom in the Nov. 23 Arts and Travel section.
