Production
The filming began on October 7, 2013, at Clearwater Marine Aquarium[1] in Clearwater, Florida.[2] It is due to finish filming in early January 2014 and be released on September 19, 2014. The sequel, featuring the same cast and a few additional characters, will revolve around more true stories from Clearwater Marine Aquarium, including the both Winter and the baby dolphin, Hope. Winter will still be the central dolphin character in the film. Other animal characters will also return, including Rufus the Pelican. Also included, however, will be the story of the rehabilitated dolphin Mandy, a dolphin Clearwater Marine Aquarium successfully released back into the wild. Like the first film, Charles Martin Smith based his script on real events that have occurred at the aquarium. The two returning lead characters, Sawyer (Nathan Gamble) and Hazel (Cozi Zuehlsdorff), know what it's like to lose a parent and Hope lost her mother at a young age, so they can really relate to each other. Harry Connick Jr. plays the biologist who runs the aquarium and Morgan Freeman returns as the doctor who designs Winter's prosthetic tale. Bethany Hamilton portrays herself in this sequel.
Although they are currently filming on the site, Clearwater Marine Aquarium is open on weekends to the public. Cozi Zuehlsdorff has tweeted on her Twitter account that she is excited that Bethany Hamilton has joined the "Dolphin Tale 2 family".
According to David Yates, filming ends on January 22, 2014.
