It was filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina, at the same time that Divine Secrets of the Ya - Ya Sisterhood (2002) and the TV show Dawson 's Creek were being filmed there. Many of the sets were from Dawson 's Creek (1998) -- particularly the school, hospital and Landon 's home. The total shooting time was only 39 days, despite Moore being able to only work 10 hours a day because she was a minor. Daryl Hannah, who wore a brown wig as her character, had received a collagen injection in her lips, which went awry and caused noticeable swelling. By the end of filming, however, the symptoms were less obvious.
