A family-oriented movie to be released in spring or summer 2005 is being filmed along the North Coast at the beaches of Cofresi (Puerto Plata) and La Entrada (Maria Trinidad Sanchez). Starring Amanda Bynes, who plays Jenny, and co-starring Chris Carmack as Jason, the romantic comedy is being directed by Randal Kleiser of ?Grease? and ?Blue Lagoon.?
Lovewrecked tells the story of Jenny, an 18 year-old girl who is ecstatic when she finds that her favorite rock star, Jason, is a guest at the tropical resort where she is working for the summer. When they are both thrown overboard during a cruise, Jenny is even more thrilled to find herself stranded on a remote beach, alone, with Jason. Jenny soon learns that they are actually just down the beach from the resort ? but she keeps the truth from her idol and tries to win his heart. Things get even more complicated when Jenny’s rival Brittany pretends to be shipwrecked too, and they must compete for Jason’s affections.
The main location of the shoot is the Sun Village Beach Resort of Cofresi, Puerto Plata (next door to Ocean World Park), where the cast and crew will also be staying. Filming began on 28 June and is expected to last until 7 August.
