Samaná will be the scene of the next Jennifer López movie

The renowned actress and singer Jennifer López has recently ended the filming of her next film, “Office Romance”, in the paradisiacal beaches of Samaná, Dominican Republic.

Accompanied by British actor Brett Goldstein, known for his role in the “Ted Lasso” series, and under the direction of Ol Parker, this production marks a new collaboration of López with Netflix.

Although the official details of the filming have remained in reserve, the artist herself shared images from our country in the framework of the Mother’s Day celebration in the United States. A source linked to the team confirmed to local media that filming ended last Tuesday.

This production adds to López’s previous collaborations with Netflix, such as “The Mother” and “Atlas”, consolidating its presence on the streaming platform.

Samaná, a movie favorite

The election of Samaná, the Dominican Republic, as one of the locations for filming, not only highlights the natural beauty of the country, but also remembers the position of this province as one of the favorites of foreign cinema when they need the essence of the Caribbean.

Samaná has been the scene of various international productions that took advantage of its natural beauty and diversity of landscapes. Among them is the Spanish-Dominican comedy “dawns in Samaná” (2024), directed by Rafa Cortés and starring Luis Tosar, María Luisa Mayol, Luis Zahera and Barbara Santa-Cruz. The film, based on the play “Cancun” by Jordi Galcerán, was filmed entirely on the Samaná Peninsula, especially in the raised resort, whose architecture and paradisiacal environment are integrated into the narrative as another character in history.

Another notable production is “Sand dollars” (2014), a drama directed by Laura Amelia Guzmán and Israel Cárdenas, starring Geraldine Chaplin and Yanet Mojica. The film, which addresses sexual tourism issues and intergenerational relations, used various locations from Samaná, capturing the essence and complexity of the region.

In addition, the Samaná Peninsula served as a location for scenes of large -budget films such as “Pirates of the Caribbean: the curse of the black pearl” (2003) and “Rambo: First Blood Part II” (1985), taking advantage of its exotic landscapes and its impressive coast to recreate adventure and action environments.

These productions have not only contributed to Samaná’s international projection as a film destination, but have also promoted the local economy through job generation and tourism promotion.
