Filming Movies in Vancouver
Filming movies in Vancouver
is a commonplace sight. The film industry first started here in the late 70s
with TV series like MacGyver, 21 Jump Street. Later came the
feature films in volume led by shows like First Blood starring
Sylvester Stallone in the early 1980s.
In all
honesty FIRST BLOOD was not actually shot in Vancouver proper but rather
in a small town about two hours east of Vancouver called Hope.
The
Vancouver film industry has seen rapid growth as the entertainment industry has
now become a global market place.
A larger
amount of movies made with Vancouver being made to look like other parts of the
world and other parts of the United States in particular. The result is
Vancouver becoming the third largest film industry location in North America.
And
that's not just movies in Vancouver that's also television TV series such as
Stargate SG-1, X-Files, Sliders, and the Andromeda
series which was also created by Gene Roddenberry who was the original
creator of Star Trek.
As far
as going to movies in Vancouver in terms of theaters there are a number of new
theaters in Vancouver proper and in the surrounding Vancouver suburbs all of
which are very comfortable and reasonably priced.
Not to
mention that they are a great place to go on our rainy winter day when you're
tired of
shopping in Vancouver or finished
walking around
the sea wall and seeing the sights of the city such as
Stanley Park or
English Bay and the
other various beaches in Vancouver.
It's
always very interesting when you go to see a movie and you recognize the
building or the streets as part of Vancouver and you can see them on your
Vancouver street map but they're actually supposed to be Philadelphia or New
York or Chicago or Boston in the United States I guess that's what they call a
movie magic.
So don't
be surprised if you see some movie magic happening on the streets of Vancouver
while you're here you can always tell if they're filming on location by a large
convoy of big white trucks and traffic cones all over the place.
