More Films Than Ever Being Shot In Canada
Every few years there is a new location that all the film production companies in America seem to like more than others. Previous favorites include Mexico, Russia and Italy, but now it seems if you are a producer, Canada is the hottest place to shoot your film.
Canada has in fact been used in some popular films, including Lucky Number Slevin which stared Josh Hartnett, The Terminal, and the soon to be continued X-Men films. In the last decade in fact there have been over 1,500 films and television productions, and they are on the increase according to industry leaders.
Recently director Dominic Sena was asked about the motivations for shooting his latest film ‘White Out’ in Canada. Kate Beckinsale plays Marshal Carrie Stetko in the film, which is about a killer on the loose in Antarctica just as the continent is about to be plunged into its half-year winter darkness. Sena suggested that the biggest motivation for using Canada was that they could find terrain similar to that found in Antarctica, but close enough to civilization to make filming possible. Many producers share this like of the convenience of shooting in Canada, where they can still speak the same language as the locals and the systems for gaining shooting permissions are very similar, yet the settings are completely different to America.
Other industry experts have suggested that aside from the fact film crews like Canada holidays, many films are shot there because it is so close to America and so easily accessible, making it the perfect place to shoot film in fresh and new surroundings that have not previously been seen by the American public. On top of this, due to the fact the Canadian dollar is weaker than the American, it works out a lot cheaper to shoot here. In fact many scenes that could be shot on American soil, such as Alaska cruises footage, is actually shot in Canada due to the reduced production costs. If you fancy being part of the next big Canadian-shot film or just fancy Toronto holidays check out Canadian Sky.
