The trailer for The Magic of Belle Isle, which was filmed last year under the working title, Summer At Dog Dave’s, was recently released.
The movie was primarily shot in the small town of Greenwood Lake, NY, located about an hour north of New York City.
This “re-coming of age story,” is about a successful writer (Morgan Freeman) who suffers from writer’s block and alcoholism but, after getting to know his neighbor and her kids, he rediscovers his excitement for writing.
The Magic of Belle Isle was directed by Rob Reiner and also stars Virginia Madsen, Kevin Pollak, Kenan Thompson, Madeline Carroll, and Fred Willard.
