Austin's NetFlix

For some Wilmington they want to check up on its the beach, or golf course, or Screen Gems studio, one of the largest studios outside of Hollywood in the U.S., but a film buff like Austin, it might inspire him to get on his Netflix. Why?

The movie - Cape Fear. The classic with Gregory Peck and the original Hollywood bad ass Robert Mitchum. The story of small-town lawyer Sam Bowden (Peck) who's life becomes torturous when Max Cady (Mitchum) re-enters his life. Cady went to jail for 8 years after Bowden testified that Cady attacked a young woman. Now that Cady has been released, he begins to terrorize Bowden and his family, particularly targeting Bowden's daughter, Nancy. Initially, Cady uses his newfound knowledge of the law (learned in prison) to annoy and seek his revenge. A true masterpiece Of revenge.

Gregory Peck, who produced the film, didn't like the original novel's title "The Executioners". When thinking of a new title, he decided that movies named after places tended to be very successful, so he looked at a map of the U.S. until he happened upon Cape Fear in North Carolina.

Cape Fear was remade in 1991 by Martin Scorsese staring Nick Nolte as Sam Bowden and Robert DeNiro as Max Cady along with a young Juliette Lewis as Sam's daughter. This time Cady served 14 years for his crime and spent the time seeking his revenge on Bowden and his family. DeNiro put in a truly terrifying performance as Cady. Both DeNiro and Lewis were nominated for Academy awards for their role. Scorsese paid homage to the original casting both screen legends Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum in the remake.

What do you think he's got both logged into his film journal already?
