Is 'The Boy Next Door' based on a real story?

“The Boy Next Door,” a Jennifer Lopez movie, is a hot erotic movie to watch that could be described as deviant fun, or as Lopez describes it, a “crazy, popcorn thriller.” This movie has many twists and turns that will keep you and leave you on the edge of your seat.

The Boy Next Door is based on a real-life event despite the difference between the actual event and the movie.

The movie was released in 2015 and sparked buzz as people started to ask if it was based on real-life events. It’s currently available on Netflix and other streaming platforms.

The Boy Next Door Story

The movie begins when a handsome teenager named Noah (Ryan Guzman) moves in next door, newly separated high-school teacher Claire Peterson (Jennifer Lopez) encourages his friendship and engages in a little bit of harmless (or so she thinks) flirtation. Although Noah spends much of the time hanging out with Claire’s son, the teen’s attraction to her is palpable.

One night, Claire gives in to temptation and lets Noah seduce her, but he turns violent when she tries to end the relationship. That was the movie story.

The Real Story

The screenwriter Barbara Curry reveals that the real story is “much tamer” than what appeared in the film. Curry used to pass by a home she admired during her runs. She told her husband about the house, and they considered buying it after it was sold.

However, Curry says she found out that a boy her son went to school with lived across the street from home. According to her, the boy often got into trouble. She was worried that if they purchased the house, this boy might influence her son.

“This boy was kind of a bad boy,” says Curry. “He was always getting in trouble, possibly getting kicked out of school, you know, stuff like that. And I wondered, ‘If we lived in this house, that boy is going to live right across the street from my son, and I bet you they’re going to become friends, and will this boy influence my son?'”

So they decided not to buy the house. Still, that incident inspired her to come up with the idea of writing a script about a newly separated woman’s unexpected romantic relationship with the boy next door.

Then Curry thought it was exciting that a neighborhood boy could cause conflict and drive a wedge between a family.

According to Curry, the first few drafts of the movie focused on a 12-year-old boy and a mother’s trial of trying to get her son out of this boy’s clutches, and gradually, it became something else. Then there was the decision to have the two characters (the mother and the boy) sleep together, and of course, she had to make the boy age a lot older.

Despite the difference between the real story and the movie, don’t you think that the movie story happens a lot in real life?

Where to watch House of the Dragon in MENA

Want to learn more about the story of House Targaryen? HBO series House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, will debut on OSN+ on August 22.

The new fantasy drama takes place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. It details the rise of the Targaryen family to the Iron Throne.

This new HBO series is promising to be nothing short of extravagant. House of the Dragon is considered George R. R. Martin’s first return to the screen since he created Game of Thrones in the last decade. Martin has kept followers up to date by publishing his digital entries from time to time. “The look of it is great, and the acting, the directing, and writing are the first rate. And yes, for all you book fans, it IS my story. Sure, there are some changes from FIRE & BLOOD— but I think Ryan Condal and his writers made good choices. Even some improvements.”

Since he was heavily involved in the “making of,” literature fans will enjoy this one, too. But they won’t be the only ones; fans of menacing dragons will also get to see what Westeros looks like when the skies are teaming with them. It’s safe to say it’s expected to be an epic series. One that has everything from mystical dragon wars to the gruesome violence and epic stunts we’ve grown to love.

Another point worth mentioning about the series is they’ve gone all out with the cast, bringing a very diverse and unique collective who complements the show’s setting. The cast includes Paddy Considine (HBO’s The Third Day and The Outsider), Matt Smith (Doctor Who), Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Steve Toussaint (It’s a Sin, Doctor Who), Eve Best, Sonoya Mizuno, Fabien Frankel, and Rhys Ifans. Milly Alcock, Bethany Antonia, John Macmillan, and Graham McTavish round out the cast.

The show has ten episodes and starts on OSN+ and OSN Showcase at the same time and date as in the US. The first show will be at 5 a.m. GST on August 22, but it will be shown again at 9 p.m. on OSN Showcase.
