Denzel Washington prepares for a scene while making the movie “Out of Time” on Boca Grande.

From the Fort Myers News-Press:

Zombies shuffle through downtown Fort Myers. A group of kids fight to save Cape Coral’s burrowing owls. Dakota Fanning kisses a boy on a Captiva Island beach.

And cameras were rolling to capture it all.

Film crews have visited our area many times over the years, and so have some of Hollywood’s biggest stars: Denzel Washington, Jayne Mansfield, Reese Witherspoon, Sean Connery, Drew Barrymore, Joe Pesci, Woody Harrelson, and more.
