I have a lot of friends out of work and sitting on their asses because the film indursty had decided to tkae much of this work offshore (assuming you count the great lakes as a freshwater ocean like some members do)...QUOTE]
sorry for the high jack.... But filming in Vancouver is nothing new. Vancouver is second only to LA in film productions in North America. It is not always because it is cheaper, but because we have excellent production facilities, are in the same time zone as the LA studios, have great crews, and amazing scenery. Just in the last few years we have shot 2012, The day the earth stood still, Night at the museum, underworld, X-men, Fantastic four, twilight, I robot, etc... :rant: Sorry, now back to RIBs..
