 WILLOW SPRINGS, Ill. (AP) - Environmentalists are giving the green light to a new Warner Bros. project that involves restoring a popular lake at a Cook County forest preserve.
Many scenes for the romantic drama "Il Mare," starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, will be filmed at a glass-sided house built by Warner Bros. near Maple Lake, about 15 miles southwest of Chicago.
In addition to a $100,000 shooting fee, Warner Bros. Pictures agreed to pay for much of the $40,000 needed to stabilize the shoreline and pay for new wetland plantings that the Cook County Forest Preserve District already had planned.
