Author	Topic: Toronto in Cinema
Spiderfan Registered: Mar '04	Date Posted: 4/2/08 11:08am Subject: Toronto in Cinema
	So our fair city has been for the last decade at least a great place to shoot movies for American film companies. So needless to say there is a constant string of movies being shot here. Many of them feature quite prominently the landmarks and recognizable locations of the city. Resident Evil 2 comes to mind. Released just a few weeks ago the Incredible Hulk trailer features a very recognizable portion of Yonge Street: Check it out. Ok so the movie looks mediocre at best but its still cool to see a superhero brawl in Toronto. Also don't forget to check out Mike Myer's The Love Guru Trailer: See it here. Another Austin Powers in disguise it seems, but the heavy prominence of the Toronto Maple Leafs. So I guess this thread is to share any clips or news about films shot in or based in Toronto. Enjoy. -----signature----- "Yeah, well my god has a hammer." - Nick Fury You look like you could use a hug: http://boards.theforce.net/your_jedi_council_community/b10008/28325808/p1/?211 Pulsies4Mod '08

	The funny thing about the new Hulk film is we are subbing for New York and I can imagine New York comic geeks when they saw the teaser went hunting for the Zansabar (sp). Also the movie Driven filmed here as both part of the film was set here and in Chicago besides other locales but some of the Chicago stuff was filmed here even though they filmed here. Finally I know this is a Star Wars site but the neatest thing was when Toronto's City Hall was used in a ST - TNG episode.

	the only reason why toronto is the highlight of being shot here is that you can find alot of things here. -----signature----- Board of Director member http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h133/danacampa/carrick-1.gif

	Mean Girls is always the first movie that pops into my head because the exterior parts of the school were shot at my high school (Etobicoke Collegiate). I remember leaving school on a Friday (they shot over the weekend) and noticing how the football field was a lot greener than usual. -----signature----- Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

	Would you believe that wiki page didn't include the filming of Due South the tv series? I know it was filmed in Toronto because I accidentally walked 'on set' once. Wasn't Relic Hunter also shot here? -----signature----- Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you? Ward room 214.

Its just general discussion boards. And yeah Relic Hunter was shot in Toronto because there is an amusing story I heard about Tia Carrera(sp?) bumping into Mike Myers and being totally shocked that she would see him in Toronto of all places. Tia: OMG! What are you doing here? Mike: I live here, what are you doing here? -----signature----- "Yeah, well my god has a hammer." - Nick Fury You look like you could use a hug: http://boards.theforce.net/your_jedi_council_community/b10008/28325808/p1/?211 Pulsies4Mod '08

	I just remember driving by Sunnyside pool and noticing a film crew, then a while later recognizing the Sunnyside pavilion in an episode of Relic Hunter. -----signature----- Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now.

	The thing about Wiki and IMDB is anyone can submit and edit info thus things go unchecked. I have had friends who had acting gigs (and I am not talking extra work) that were not listed on IMDB and remember seeing/finding mistakes on Wiki. So word of advice while alot of the info is useful on both sites do not accept them as 100% accurate and factual.

So word of advice while alot of the info is useful on both sites do not accept them as 100% accurate and factual. No one did but thank you for reminding us to use common sense. IMDB can't post every credit for every project out there nor every credit for every person. It has a set of guidelines that determines what is acceptable what isn't. Not to mention its user edited so tell your friend to feel free to register and create a credit for himself...all they can do is delete his entry. -----signature----- "Yeah, well my god has a hammer." - Nick Fury You look like you could use a hug: http://boards.theforce.net/your_jedi_council_community/b10008/28325808/p1/?211 Pulsies4Mod '08
