Recently getting back into watching La Femme Nikita. I watched it on and off when it was still being produced. Now I try to catch it as much as I can because of the great views of Toronto of the late '90s.

Showcase's King has returned for a second season. There's very little hiding it's Toronto.

He's filmed many of his films throughout his career in his hometown including Naked Lunch, The Fly, Dead Ringers, eXistenZ, Crimes of the Future, Stereo, A History of Violence, Crash & The Brood. He and his wife still reside in TO too.

not sure if this has been mentioned, but in the tv show suits, squint your eyes at the end of this video and you'll see Bay Adelaide and Trump's exterior from street level

A new trailer for Take This Waltz: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi1654694681/

I saw it last year at TIFF, but it's coming out in theatres this summer, I think. The film has a warm, saturated-colour look, and Toronto was never more beautiful.

It's not out yet but Toronto is playing the part of post-apocalyptic Japan in Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim. http://www.moviescene.nl/image.php?...cific-rim-set-photo-4-600x450.jpg&h=450&w=600

I am uber-pumped.

lol! when toronto usually fills a spot for another city, it's usually new york... but in that photo, it looks like some city in asia? ^ lol.. nice...

 

[steveve]

wait a sec- i know where this is! lol

Yonge-stret for the resident evil movie... did they actually shoot on Yonge? (is it actually in the movie?). or is this just a promotional photoshopped image?

I can see a few blocks being closed for filming on a Sunday but not much more than that, so I'd say it's a CGI job.

Take This Waltz by Sarah Polley came out on June 29. Even though I never watch romantic comedies, I will be sure to see this one to support another major movie that showcases Toronto. I heard that it really captures the city's beauty, which is great because good films expose Toronto to more people around the world and can improve our sense of civic pride.

I checked this thread to see whether Take This Waltz would be referenced...sure enough...

I wouldn't be surprised if Sarah Polley runs for Mayor someday.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think some of the Saw Films were shot in Toronto.

Most of them are, or were. The one in 3D begins right across from Roy Thompson Hall with a crazy gory opening sequence.
