VANCOUVER - Netflix has launched a website to showcase its filming locations across Canada and some of the productions mentioned are high profile.
British Columbia locations from Squamish to Surrey, featured in the hit show Virgin River, are among those included on the “Netflix in your Neighbourhood” site. The public ranking system on the streaming service lists it as one of its most popular shows.
Sidney Poitier died yesterday, he filmed a movie here in Vancouver from 1988. It was set in BC. It was actually called Shoot to kill, but was also released as Deadly Pursuit
Sidney Poitier was a great actor who played a number of iconic roles in a number of iconic, culture-changing movies.
Although not on the same level of his seminal movies from the 60s, Shoot To Kill is a pretty good 80s Hollywood action/thriller. And Vancouver plays itself in the movie!
I forget the name of it, but there is a recent huge Bollywood hit that takes place in Vancouver. What makes that unusual is that it is a Punjabi movie. Hindi is the majority language for big movies there.
