If you blink, you might miss Vancouver in the background of the new DEADPOOL trailers buzzing on the Internets this week. Finally, we get a peek at what blocked traffic on the Georgia Viaduct and sent Ryan Reynolds to the hospital last spring!
This is just ONE of the many film productions that have landed in our backyard this year. THE X-FILES reboot, starring the return of our own Acting Department founder William B.

STAR TREK BEYOND, the “three-quel” to where J.J. Abrams left off with the Enterprise, is already underway here, and word on the street is that Steven Spielberg is coming to direct the feature film READY PLAYER ONE. Hugh Jackman will likely be arriving for another run at WOLVERINE, and the third PLANET OF THE APES feature will also be invading soon!
