Oh Canada. Blockbuster Movies Made Here
Oh Canada. Blockbuster Movies Made Here As the 'go-to' destination for Tinseltown’s big budget productions, Canada has always been ready for its close-up—even when it’s doubling for another location! The cost is also a big factor with the Canadian dollar being much lower. Here are just a few of the blockbuster movies that were made here. Brokeback Mountain This groundbreaking drama starring Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams, Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway was shot in Alberta’s majestic Rocky Mountains. Calgary, Cowley, Elbow Falls and Fort Macleod all masqueraded as Wyoming! The cowboy romance was celebrated at the 78th Academy Awards, winning three Oscars: Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Score. Capote This critically acclaimed Truman Capote biopic was shot primarily in Winnipeg, with additional scenes captured in Selkirk, Manitoba. While the story of the In Cold Blood author is set in Kansas, the film’s producers selected Manitoba as the American city’s stand-in. Stony Mountain Institution, the Manitoba Legislative Building and Gilbart’s Funeral Home star prominently in this Oscar-winning flick (Philip Seymour Hoffman won the Academy Award for Best Actor). Titanic Real-life catastrophe and movie magic are intertwined on Canada’s east coast. In 1912, when the Titanic was ripped apart by an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean, Halifax was the closest major seaport to the disaster. Despite feverish rescue attempts, few survivors were pulled from the frigid waters and over 100 victims were laid to rest in Halifax cemeteries. When James Cameron began production on his 1997 epic, he brought his cast and crew to Halifax. The city would once again play a role in the story as Cameron shot the film’s harrowing ocean scenes aboard the icebreaker CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent. Twilight Calling all Twihards! Come to British Columbia and follow in the footsteps of Bella, Edward and Jacob. Three of the four movies in the Twilight saga—New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn—were shot in various locales around Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, including David Fraser Secondary School (appearing as Forks High School), Minnekhada Regional Park and the Ridge Theatre. American Psycho This controversial cult classic does an incredible job of using Toronto as a stand-in for New York City. Toronto-Dominion Centre is used as the office building of main character Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale). American Psycho‘s dance club scenes were shot in the Phoenix Concert Theatre, while Toronto pillars The Senator and the Omni King Edward Hotel’s Consort Bar double as one of the many restaurants the film’s characters frequent. Good Will Hunting Despite being one of the most famous Boston-set films in recent memory, Good Will Hunting was actually mostly shot in Toronto! The University of Toronto’s campus prominently stars as both Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, respectively, while a few classroom scenes were filmed at Central Technical School. |

im told toronto or vancouver are often used as a substitute for nyork and other american cities to take advantage of the favorable exchange rate. but i dont buy it - canadian cities are WAY too clean to pass as american. is the urban legend true that a movie crew once graffitied up an alley in toronto for a scene, then took a lunch break, and when they came back to shoot the alley had been cleaned up? "well only get through this if we work together. if we dont, none of us will"

I did know a lot of movies and tv series are made in Canada, at the end of the movies most have the Canadian flag symbol a tell tale sign where it was made, like the made in Georgia one at the end of walking dead. But I did not know some of these were made there, always a pleasure visiting your blog and learning something new my friend
