From the linked article,

Quote:
Norton would not reveal which or how many companies have approached the city. But he confirmed "serious" inquiries have come from more than two film industry representatives and "the bulk of the interest" is coming from the Toronto-area.

Guillermo del Toro is not necessarily among the would-be bidders, if you are wondering.

The famed Hollywood director has praised Hamilton online and even exchanged Twitter chatter with Mayor Fred Eisenberger, who invited Del Toro last year to visit and talk about setting up shop locally.

Norton appeared to downplay the potential Monday by noting the director has never specifically said he wanted to own a Hamilton studio.

"His tweets said — and we've clarified this with him — if someone was to build a film studio in Hamilton, I'd love to go film there."
