I don’t think this news really matters to anyone outside of Vancouver (who are probably so used to seeing films shot in their city that it doesn’t phase them much anymore), but for anyone that cares, The Wolverine and Superman will be shooting in the everycity.  The Vancouver Sun reports that the Wolverine sequel will be shooting in the city from Nov. 11 to March 1, 2012 at Canadian Motion Picture Park in Burnaby, a location that also played host to scenes from Twilight, Supernatural, and Fantastic Four.  The five month shoot in Vancouver indicates that the original plan to film the movie in Japan is probably out.

Man of Steel is also setting up shop in British Columbia and will be filming from September 21 – January 21st.  There will be a casting call this weekend and they’d especially like some people with “older character faces and those who could be passed off as loggers for Nanaimo and commercial fishermen in Ucluelet.”  Click here for details on how to apply.  Other films currently shooting in Vancouver include Diary of a Wimpy Kid 3 and Robert Redford’s The Company You Keep.

    ARGH! Wolverine shooting in Japan for so long was the whole reason Aronofsky had to pass on it right? Why have they done themselves out of both a great director AND a great production concept. Morons.

    • nelson

      umm you do know the reason for no japan is because of what happened there recently

      keep up with the news buddy

      • plainview

        yeah but the news that Aronofsky left because of shooting abroad was release after the earthquake. so there was still a plan to shoot there even after the earthquake. it seems they abandoned the idea.

    A new Superman. A new beginning. Times change. We need to change as well.

    I hope Henry Cavill will be the greatest Superman of all time.

    F***ING ARONOFSKY LEFT BECAUSE OF SHOOTING FAR FROM HIS FAMILY? CANADA AIN’T THAT FAR. HE’S REALLY BITCHING WITH US! ALWAYS TEASING US WITH BADASS PROJECTS. WHY OH WHY? SO HE CAN STAY ON THE RADAR OF HOLLYWOOD? UNCOOL MAN, UNCOOL!

    you better do Noah with Bale and make it badass. and that Machine Man project. make a really really cool action picture. you’re capable of it. WE KNOW IT!. heck you made a movie about Ballet dancers badass and not for sissys.

    The fight scenes in Man of Steel should be like the amazing one between Clark and ‘Titan’ played by WWE superstar Kane in the Smallville episode ‘Combat’ and between Clark and Zod in the season 9 finale “Salvation” where Zod says
“Every human, including the woman you love, will kneel before Zod!”

    It would be great if they have a sequence to ground the movie in reality with Superman and the rebels in Libya fighting Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s forces or Superman and the police in England fighting the rioters.
