When the HST was implemented last year, there was a 400% positive increase in filming. EVERYONE was working and there were 2-4 shows always filming downtown every other week. Now its 1 every so often.
When Superman comes to town, it will be mostly all interior filming since most of the exterior was filmed down in the USA.
GI JOE 2 sounds like a road movie, meaning most of the filming will be outside the Metro Vancouver area. Filming in the Interior of BC and up near Ashcroft/Kamloops.
Fringe Season 4 starts up July 14th for another 10 month round of filming. |
