It was good enough for Smallville, so why not have the bigscreen Superman film in Vancouver Canada as well?
And that is exactly what is happening.
Zack Snyder’s Superman: The Man of Steel is heading to Vancouver next Summer.
“[Zack Snyder’s] next feature’s coming here,” said Peter Leitch, chair of the Motion Picture Production Industry Association of BC and president of North Shore Studios and Mammoth Studios.
They still don’t have the Big Blue Boyscout cast yet, but I hope people don’t chalk up the filming location to think that Tom Welling has a shot at this. Welling has been living in Vancouver for the past decade, but this is not a Smallville movie.
Vancouver has been a staple of the Hollywood outsourcing for years, and is rapidly taking the “Hollywood North” moniker away from Toronto.
I am sure Superman will do fine there. The parts that are in Metropolis anyways. For foreign deserts Alberta has the Badlands. For Mountains we have the better looking part of the Rockies, and Saskatchewan has the farms and small towns for Smallville.
You would think that someone involved in inventing Superman was originally Canadian.
