Washington. I got to watch them film it. My dad heard about the filming and drove me and my brother down there to watch. I had heard how slowly things go on a film set, and got to see it first hand. We were there for a couple of hours, but they only went through two takes of them running for the dock.

I only saw the actors from about a hundred feet away, as they had set up barricades to keep observers at a distance.

It was pretty cool.
