Message in a bottle where is it filmed

I miss that guy. Thank you, Julia, for featuring one of my all time favourite movie houses. It has such a lovely atmosphere, beautiful lighting, just the right amount of shabby chic and especially the room where Catherine used to paint. Watching movies with great houses in them always gets my imagination going and this inspires me to try to reproduce it. Hi Julia I love this movie cried a lot…. The house is so beautiful and so is Kevin Costner. Love the coastal look. Thank you this was beautiful.

Regards Esther from Sydney. PS miss Paul Newman. I remember after seeing the movie I dug out a very old pair of my keds tennis shoes. Left them on the porch the entire summer so that they would age much more than they already had and put them by my wicker chair.

I wanted them to look like I had just slipped them off and sat down. I live in Chicago and with Theresa living in Chicago I loved all the city sitings. I loved her place too. I guess I really never noticed the clutter. It just looked lived in the way homes can look when people are busy and involved in their lives.

My mother-in-law had a very sterile home and she was obsessive when it came to cleaning. I recall her screaming and yelling at her son, while we were dating, when he tried to cook us a steak in the oven and had it covered in foil. She yelled that now she was going to have to clean the oven. No one could enjoy themselves around her and I recall feeling uncomfortable even being in her home—sure it was spotless and there was no clutter, but it felt pretty colorless—not to mention having to cope with her hair-trigger temper.

We actually had the pleasure of staying in this house 3 years ago. The family who owns it was renting it out for the summer and we signed up for a week.

We were warned beforehand that the house had been heavily propped out for the movie and that little of the actual decor from the movie remained — though we were thrilled to find the kitchen pretty much the same as it was in the movie. Regardless of the decor, it was a charming little beach cottage with great bones and was right on the ocean.

What a magical place! After reading all of the comments above, I feel extra lucky to have stayed there. Are you able to provide me with a contact person for the house or the actual address? I would truly appreciate it. Thank you! Can someone please supply me with the last letter read by Theresa that was was written as a farewell to Cathrine.

Explaining to her he has found a new true love and want to tell Theresa that he loves her. Please e mail me Thanks so much for your help Lou Sisbarro. Your website is amazing!! Keep up the good work! Visit A Schematic Life for more photos and information. Robin Wright Theresa as Theresa.

Storyline Edit. A woman finds a romantic letter in a bottle washed ashore and tracks down the author, a widowed shipbuilder whose wife died tragically early. As a deep and mutual attraction blossoms, the man struggles to make peace with his past so that he can move on and find happiness.

A story of love lost and found. Rated PG for a scene of sexuality. Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. Trivia The sites that were finally chosen for most of the shooting of the scenes of Garret's hometown were Northport and Popham Beach, Maine.

A bottle with a message inside was found on his boat. Theresa realizes that it was written the night before Garrett's last sailing. In it, he apologizes to Catherine and says that in Theresa he has found a new love, a love he must fight for. Boats in the film include a 40 John Alden-design gaff-rigged ketch in the beginning and a smaller wooden sloop Garrett "launches" near the end; the large ketch is not a sail configuration often seen off the Carolina coast, which leans toward sloops.

The producers originally planned to film on Tangier Island, Virginia, but some members of the town council objected to the drinking, cursing and sex in the film and demanded script revisions in exchange for shooting permission, even though this turned out to be a PG rated film.

Warner Bros. Beach scenes were filmed at Popham Beach in Phippsburg, Maine. The fog-bound harbor near the end appears to be Rockland, Maine. None of the coastal scenes are the Outer Banks the setting of the novel , which has neither rocks, bluffs, nor tall pines; nor does the Outer Banks have the roughly 40 foot tides indicated by the docks shown throughout the beginning of the film.

Large tides in the Carolinas are 10 feet and that is extreme. The film received negative reviews from critics. Roger Ebert gave the film 2 out of 4 stars, praising the lead actors, particularly Paul Newman "steals every scene he's in", but criticized the contrived ending.
