A recent article by Catherine Kozak in the Virginia Pilot (http://hamptonroads.com/2008/08/outer-banks-small-town-makes-debut-big-screen) points out that the Outer Banks is soon to get national and international attention.
“Nights in Rodanthe,” a major motion picture version of Nicholas Sparks’ bestselling book of the same name, will hit theatres nationwide on September 26th and abroad in November.
Outer Banks residents will have a pre-screening two days prior to the national release, and just two days after the premiere in New York City. The pre-screening will be held at the R/C Kill Devil Hills Movies 10 on September 24th. There will be about 210 seats available to residents who worked on the movie in someway while it was being filmed on the Outer Banks – extras, consultants, security, musicians, caterers, etc.
Scenes from the movie will show a wide variety of footage from the Outer Banks, including; particular houses where scenes were set, the Hatteras Fishing Pier, the Hatteras-Ocracoke ferry, Ocracoke Island, Manteo, gorgeous beaches, wild horses, and aerial footage of the Island(s).
This is sure to be a great “date movie,” and a tremendous boost to exposure for the Outer Banks.
