Principal photography on the project began Tuesday, June 23, on location in Savannah, Ga., under the direction of Bronwen Hughes. “Forces of Nature” is being produced by Susan Arnold, Donna Roth and Ian Bryce from a screenplay by Marc Lawrence. In addition to Savannah, “Forces of Nature” will film on location in coastal areas of Georgia, South Carolina and Washington, D.C.

The story follows Ben Holmes (Affleck), who has two days to get from New York to Savannah for his wedding to Bridget (Tierney). How hard can that be in this age of planes, trains and automobiles? When his plane goes skidding into Flushing Bay, Ben saves the life of his seatmate, an eccentric young woman named Sarah (Bullock). In return, she becomes his faithful traveling companion — whether he likes it or not — and things continue to “go south” as the two head south.
