Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: North Carolina

Summer Catch is a 2001 American romantic comedy film directed by Michael Tollin and starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Jessica Biel and Matthew Lillard. The film marked Tollin's feature film directorial debut. The setting is the Cape Cod Baseball League, but the majority of the film was shot in Southport, North Carolina. The film was released on August 31, 2001 by Warner Bros. Pictures and grossed $19.7 million against a $17–34 million budget while receiving mostly negative reviews.

Production

The film was not filmed in New England because the spring season was too cold so the actual production site was in Southport, North Carolina. The Chatham A's baseball field that was used in the film was actually built from a field that had been abandoned for about 20 years. Within about eight weeks the field was complete with batting cages and a press box ready to film.

Prinze was reportedly paid $2 million for his performance.
