This movie was shot in my neighboorhood. I was told if you go downtown where one of the characters rides their bike, that's where all the stores are (in the movie, the put different names on the stores). Although I never watched the movie, but I heard it was filmed in Northport. Is the movie any good?
sharei dont know about it being filmed in northport, but i know all the high school shots are actually pompton lakes high in pompton lakes NJ. when he rides his bike to school the day after the oscar broadcast and the media is all there waiting for him, that was pompton lakes.
shareDid he ride his bike to any resteraunts?
shareSome of the shots, I believe it was a church shot? was filmed in my town Warwick, NY and i think Pompton Lakes is kinda close to my town
sharethe restuarant that Joan Cusacks character comes out of before she runs into Cameron is called The Homestead. Its located near my town I believe in Hardyston. The entire film was shot in the North Jersey area, and some parts of New York. Hi Led Leppelin, I'm from vernon NJ, like 5 minutes from Warwick.

The school scene was definitly filmed in Pompton Lakes because my grandma lived there and she was an extra. Sadly, they cut out the scene where you could see her face but you see the back of her head in the auditorium!
The Statue of Liberty is in New Jersey!!! NOT NEW YORK!!!
My bro was an extra in the church scene. He said Kevin Klein was very personable. And Debbie Reynolds and Wilford Brimley did not mind signing autographs for fans.
shareI just ate there the other week. I was in High School when the film was made and the school is like three miles from the Homestead. The food was very good as was the movie.
sharethe church is St. Johns Episocpal in Cold Spring Harbor NY
shareI was an extra on the film. We shot the graduation scene at Pompton Lakes High School in New Jersey, and we shot the church scenes in Warwick, NY. By the way, despite the beautiful spring appearance, the church scenes were shot in the dead of winter. Kline got a cold, Selleck was homesick for Christmas, and Cusack was pregnant. That church was freezing. The film was over time and over budget to the point where Selleck referred to it as, "day 46 of the In and Out hostage crisis."

I know he went past Otto's Shipwreck Diner.
share My father grew up in Northport, and although I grew up about 15 minutes away in Selden, NY; I have spent a lot of time in Northport (which I love). I even took my girlfriend there a few weeks ago (when it was unseasonably warm, which was nice for early February) and walked around the town. My father grew up in East Northport (which is oddly enough, SOUTH of Northport) but spent most of his time hanging out in Northport.
Although the EXTERIORS for this movie are filmed in Northport, the actual interior filming was not. So claims of filming in parts of upstate NY or in New Jersey are very possibly true, but the thing is that the exteriors of the TOWN are unquestionably Northport. People who dispute that don't know what they're talking about, because I've spent enough time in Northport to know: the TOWN of Greenleaf, Indiana as shown in the film is downtown Northport. It is right by the actual port.
For those of you who don't know, Northport is a picturesque little town on the North shore of Long Island, right on the Long Island Sound. Connecticut is right across the sound. There are a lot of towns that are similar to Northport (My favorite other than Northport is Port Jefferson, which is 5 minutes from my house on LI; though I'm up at college in New Paltz now, which is upstate from Long Island). Northport is a great place, and it is too bad that they didn't film more than just the exteriors there. In the summer, towns like Northport and Port Jeff are just terrific to be around. The one thing Port Jeff has that Northport doesn't (which is an advantage to Northport, unless you need to travel) is a ferry to take people to Bridegport, Connecticut.
Anyway, In & Out is a funny movie and to have its premise it would be hard to take place in a town like Northport, New York (on Long Island) because New York and Long Island are fairly liberal places. The movie is set in "Greenleaf, Indiana" because Indiana is considered a more conservative place, and a small town there is going to be thought rather opposed to homsexuality. On Long Island (and in a lot of NY, until you get FAR upstate) no teacher would ever be fired for being gay, it just couldn't happen.
So yes, for those who don't know, the exterior shots are of Northport, NY on lovely Long Island. I grew up my whole life wanting to get off Long Island and move somewhere else; however now that I'm away and my family has moved off the Island (meaning I have no more home base there, even when I'm home on break from college) I miss it. Currently my girlfriend (who is from far upstate NY and grew up on Lake Ontario) lives on Long Island and goes to college there, and I still spend much of my time away from college there; but she plans to join me up here at New Paltz. Then I will have no more home on Long Island (although my relatives still live there for the most part) and I will be the worse for it. Long Island is underrated, especially the North Shore. I love the north shore of Long Island (though I prefer the beaches of the south shore) and thinking of towns like Northport, Port Jeff, or (as someone said) cold Spring Harbor bring to mind the places where I grew up, and the places I'll always love.

Your post about Long Island caught my attention.. Just want to say that what you miss about LI probably has more to do with memories than with the place itself.. I'm from LI and I can state without reservation that the place is a wasteland.. All LI has to offer is traffic, congestion, mini malls, strip malls, pollution, and suburban attitudes.. I wouldn't consider the place liberal, as you bring up.. Be glad you're out
shareI know. It's so weird that they call it East Northport which is really south of Northport and East Northport is not really a port. Even though Northport is beautiful, it isn't really too popular. Then on Feb. 13 it was on News 12 Long Island, and they got many shots of Northport. (because they might put a ferry there)I know it has nothing to do with the movie, but I just wanted to point that out.

East Northport is called East Northport because the railroad first ended in Northport. About 1880 they decided to continue building to Port Jefferson. The first station they established was in a place that didn't have a name yet, so they named the stop "East Northport" since the trains were (and still are)called "eastbound" and "westbound".
-that's why!
Besides, doesn't "South Northport" sound a little....odd?
(I know because I live there.)

Well, the post was from 2005, but caught MY attention. Long Island is a beautiful place. We have the best beaches in the world, miles and miles and miles of them. I live on the east end and i would never live anywhere else. People pay thousands of dollars to stay here and I live here all the time.
I go to high school in Pompton Lakes, so it is where the filmed it where he teaches. I have assemblies in the audotorium all the time. Kevin Kline's classroom use to be my homeroom sophomore year and is fact not a English room but a Math room.
shareinside the church where kevin klines character is about to get married was filmed in a church in warwick, ny. outside the church was shot somewhere else
Rock on

I live in Northport and it definitly was shot there. They had to make sure that they always shot away from the beautiful harbor to give the illusion that it was in Indiana. They also changed some of the returaunts names such as the Shipwreck Diner to Gus' or something like that. Northport rocks, and only south shore LI is strip mall-y and stuff. North Shore has it all.
shareI live in East Northport and have breakfast at the Shipwreck a couple of Saturdays every month, they have an "In and Out" poster autographed by Kevin Kline on the wall and I recognized the diner in the shot where he first meets Tom Selleck's character.
Long Island is easily misunderstood if you only go by first impressions gathered too much from the western end. The closer you get to the city the more congested and strip-malled it is. As you go further east you have little coastal towns (..and Northport is among my favorites), and forests and farms and rivers and beaches. It's a place I'm always happy to come home to.
Wasn't it "Darlene's Diner"?
I am a Jersey Boy from Wayne. I remember the movie being filmed in Pompton Lakes and across the border in Warwick, NY. My bro was an extra at the wedding. I think scenes were shot in other locations outside of the North Jersey. I vaguely remember a scene near what looked like a corn field. That didn't look very Jersey.
For my Jersey peeps, was the bar scene shot at Slater's Mill? What is up with that place? It has been closed forever.
I hear Matt Dillon had a relationship with a local girl he met while filming in North Jersey.

I don't remember the Slater's Mill murder. The big news local stabbing I remember was the one that occurred in the White Castle parking lot in Verona. A murder can happen anywhere. When I resided in the Trenton area a woman was stabbed to death in the Hamilton Cost Cutters parking lot.
I went to Slater's Mill once when it was a nudie bar. That place was nothing special. It was the kind of joint where patrons scream "keep it on". Back when rock bands played there my bro saw Badfinger.
