The San Fernando Valley community mirrored in SAMUEL L. JACKSON’s thriller LAKEVIEW TERRACE is bracing itself for a wildfire set to destroy properties in their sleepy California town.
Although the 2008 film wasn’t actually shot in Lake View Terrace, it’s where the plot was based.
More than 12,000 homes are in the path of the worst of eight California wildfires that started blazing late last week (ends29Aug09) and many residents of the town have been evacuated.
The fire is only five per cent contained, as WENN went to press.
More than 2,000 firefighters are currently battling the blaze. Two have been killed.
