This article contains spoilers for The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3.Back in May, Prime Video TV series The Summer I Turned Pretty ran into issues with some fans filming the set and mobbing the streets during filming of the highly-anticipated movie spinoff following the series finale. Now The Sun reports that the set has become a “horror story for the cast and crew,” with an unnamed source claiming that the actors are “repeatedly interrupted” when filming scenes by crowds of fans and photographers. The franchise pleaded to fans earlier in May on its social media pages, ”We love the excitement but sharing locations and visiting set disrupts filming and creates real safety concerns for our cast and crew.” That plea appears to have been unsuccessful as massive crowds of fans showed up to film and watch Lola Tung (Belly) and Christopher Briney (Conrad) film scenes earlier this month in Plymouth, Massachusetts. cnx.cmd.push(function() {cnx({playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",}).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");});The Summer I Turned Pretty author Jenny Han also posted her own instagram story to restate the message in her own words. “This story means a lot to me, and I know it means a lot to you too. I want to give you the best version of this movie. Please help protect our process.” The source from The Sun also claimed that production allegedly had blocked off several streets but failed to properly secure the area for such a large-scale project, arguing that the budget was not properly distributed to prevent issues like this, angering Amazon executives that are expecting this film to be a huge hit after the series success. While it’s unknown if every aspect of The Sun’s reporting is correct, it is clear that The Summer I Turned Pretty set has had issues with disruptive fans, and that’s a major problem. Not only is fan interference disrespectful to both the cast and crew, it can also cause production delays and undue stress for all involved. Even though the filming is in a public space full of pedestrians, who technically have a right to pull out their phones and record in that public space, the majority of productions’ complaints are towards the fans that camp out on the sidewalk and disrupt the filming process. Due to the TV series’ massive online success, this isn’t the first time fans have captured video of filming. When TSITP was shooting season 3, many photos and videos surfaced on TikTok. Production and Han even chose to film fake scenes of Belly and Jeremiah in Paris to throw off fans that were seeking spoilers on who Belly ended up with. Han told People, “If Gavin [Casalegno, who plays Jeremiah] never showed up in Paris it would be really obvious what the ending was…we were lucky that he could come.” The fake scene of Casalegno and Tung hugging in Paris had fans worried that Belly would end up with Jeremiah, changing the ending of the book series. Prime was equally as motivated to keep the ending a secret as the fans were to uncovering it. Fans sneaking a photo of a public filming set is not new, especially with everyone possessing an easily accessible phone to film on. Bigger studios like Amazon that produce highly-anticipated projects will inevitably have to deal with people attempting to capture the magic of the filming. But interfering with production is beyond the pale. And if fans truly want the TSITP movie to come out on time and put its best foot forward, they should be on their best behavior.The post Movie Sets Are Workplaces, Please Do Not Bother the Employees appeared first on Den of Geek.
