Jenny Han, the creator behind "The Summer I Turned Pretty," discloses the reasons behind her selection of Taylor Swift songs for the season 3 finale.
The popular Prime Video series, The Summer I Turned Pretty, is set to continue its romantic journey as a feature film. Directed by Jenny Han, author and showrunner of the series, the film will premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.
The continuation of the series as a feature film will focus on the love story between Belly and Conrad, with Taylor Swift's songs taking centre stage in the emotional finale. The third season of the series ended this week, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the upcoming film.
Jenny Han explained how Swift's songs, particularly Dress and Out of the Woods, were used to perfectly highlight the love story in the series. Dress played during Belly and Conrad's first kiss under Paris' moonlight, while Out of the Woods was featured during the scene where Belly confessed her love to Conrad at the train station.
The sultry, passionate vibe of Dress matched the couple's chemistry, making it the perfect choice for their first kiss scene. Similarly, Out of the Woods' poignant lyrics resonated with Belly's realization of her love for Conrad, as portrayed in the series.
Filming the scenes with Dress and Out of the Woods was not easy, as Briney, one of the actors, stated that they focused on the scene and not expectations due to fan favorites. Tung, another actor, described the scenes as 'almost like dance choreography.' Han paused the music briefly to let Conrad say he 'dreams' of being with Belly, adding an extra emotional punch to the scenes.
The feature film is yet to have a release date, but fans are already excited about the prospect of seeing their favourite characters on the big screen. The Summer I Turned Pretty has been popular for its romantic storyline, and the addition of a feature film is an exciting development for fans of the show.
The series has gained a dedicated following, with fans eagerly awaiting each new season. The upcoming feature film is expected to deliver on the emotional storytelling that has made the series a success. With Jenny Han at the helm, fans can expect a faithful adaptation of the beloved series.
In conclusion, the use of Taylor Swift's music in The Summer I Turned Pretty series has added an extra layer of emotion to the romantic storyline. The upcoming feature film promises to continue this trend, with Dress and Out of the Woods playing significant roles in the film. Fans of the series can look forward to an exciting addition to the franchise in 2025.
