It would appear that we’re not the only ones who thought it was a mistake to shoot the story of Reena Virk’s murder in a city other than Victoria, as it looks like there will be a second movie about her murder made and it will be shot on location. I think a cogent argument is formed at some point in this conversation.
You can catch The Film Cynics on CFAX 1070 every Sunday afternoon at 3pm PST.
Get over it. Fringe is filmed in Vancouver to be Boston. “Under the Bridge” is a feature film and the people in the industry in Toronto can replicate any place required. Same as Vancouver. Using the logic of this pair, X-MEN should never have left Ontario to be filmed in B.C. But it did, and the feature never suffered much from the move.
Hey, if they didn’t shoot all the X-Men movies out here, what the heck would they have used for Xavier’s mansion? Hatley Castle was perfect! And why does it make sense to shoot X-Men in Ontario anyway?
If they can double Hawaii for The Amazon (like in The Rundown), they can make anywhere look like anywhere. I don’t believe for a second that shooting in Toronto is cheaper than shooting here – and don’t forget, the location scouting would be done in advance.
