Safe Haven

So they successfully blended it with a war movie.

Then three years later, we see an even more dramatic genre bend with 2013's Safe Haven.

Oh, Safe Haven.

This one stars Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel, but the plot of this one is wild compared to the others.

It really takes a turn.

I like that term.

Look at her career sprint right around that time.

She did Burlesque, she did the Footloose remake, she did Rock of Ages, and then she anchored Safe Haven, all within a very tight three-year window.

I live in a town called Southport, North Carolina.

Um, you might have heard of it from the movie Safe Haven, the Nicholas Sparks, um, book.

But, um, anyway, um, I come from a long line of cunning folk, is what I call it.

My grandmother refers to it as discernment, but I've always used cunning folk because I am the wiccan in the family.

They love to talk about it.

It's been the filming location for films like I Know What You Did Last Summer and Safe Haven.

It sits along the North Carolina coast, where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic Ocean, with Wilmington to the north and Myrtle Beach to the south.

But Southport is actually not on the Atlantic Ocean itself.

Or s-

Safe Haven.

Sorry, it wasn't his first book.

It was his third book, but it was his first movie based on a book.
