The Waterfront filming locations: Where the Netflix NC drama was shot
The Waterfront is Netflix's latest addition to its catalogue of crime thrillers. Directed and created by Kevin Williamson, the show is closely tied to anecdotal incidents from his own childhood. Considering the deeply personal nature of this project, it's no wonder that Williamson chose to return to a location he's all too familiar with and comfortable in: North Carolina. The Waterfront, directed by Kevin Williamson, is a Netflix crime thriller that reflects his childhood in North Carolina.

Having previously directed iconic pieces of pop culture history such as Dawson's Creek, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and the fifth Scream movie, Wilmington (a small town in North Carolina) is the common string tying these films and shows together. Since The Waterfront is a heavily location-dependent story, North Carolina turned out to provide the perfect backdrop for Williamson's fictional town of Havenport. Along with Wilmington, multiple locations in Southport have also been used for filming. 'I grew up in North Carolina, as you know, in a very, very small town, very much Southport, where we filmed this show,' Williamson said to Screen Rant. The Waterfront plot The Waterfront tells the story of a family patriarch who struggles to maintain his family ties via his fishing and restaurant business and ultimately ends up resorting to smuggling drugs to make ends meet. This is a direct reflection of Williamson's childhood where his father, whom he considers to be 'the greatest man alive', was a fisherman who failed to make ends meet and was subsequently imprisoned for drug trafficking.

Brad Pitt Is Open To Working With Tom Cruise, But There Is One Condition
Last Updated: Brad Pitt made it clear that he would not be taking on roles that require him to pull off sky-high stunts. Brad Pitt, who is eyeing the release of his sports-drama F1: The Movie, has opened up on the possibility of sharing the screen space again with Tom Cruise. They were seen together in the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire. In an interview, Pitt said he would love to work with Tom Cruise, but on one condition. Any guesses? No sky-high stunts, please. We get it, Brad Pitt, we get it. In a chat with E! News, Brad Pitt shared, 'I'm not gonna hang my a** off the airplane and s**t like that." Pitt, currently busy with the promotion F1 racing film, talked about his reunion with Cruise. The actor stated he will consider working with Mission: Impossible star 'when he does something again that's on the ground." In the same chat, Pitt went on to talk about some of the unusual habits he developed while working on F1. 'Before getting in the car, I always have to get in on the left side," he said. Pitt added, 'I have to put my left shoe on first, I'd have to put my left glove on first." Talking about Tom Cruise, the actor is well-known for pulling off heart-stopping stunts in his films. In the Mission: Impossible series, he was seen skydiving, flying helicopters, scaling skyscrapers and jumping off a cliff. Earlier, Pitt and Cruise collaborated for the 1994 film, titled Interview with the Vampire. The gothic cult classic saw a rivalry between the two, which even reached the tracks. 'We raced go-karts. He got me in the end. I gotta admit," Pitt recalled. Meanwhile, earlier this year at a Paramount event, Tom Cruise lauded Brad Pitt's driving skills, especially given his upcoming F1 film. F1: The Movie has been directed by Joseph Kosinski. Formula 1 champion and British driver Lewis Hamilton has backed the movie. It will release on June 27. Damson Idris, Javier Bardem and Kerry Condon are also part of the film. First Published:
