from todays brantford newspaper " the film company is asking council for permission to close colbourne, betweend kind and bain streets on march 29 and 30 between 6 pm and 2 am; and ballantyne, from catharine avenue to spalding drive on march 31 and april 3 between 6pm and 6am.

Filming is also ecpected to occur during daytime hours on market, between darling and dalhousie streets from march 28 to april 7"

they let silent hilll film at some of those places so there, going to let weirdsville there

Of course!!!

For one, WE LIKE having the film industry here! It's a very neat experience, and this set of folks (no offence to the other crew!) are much nicer, and more inviting. They told us where we could stand to watch the movie being made, and it took so many takes! I couldn't see what was wrong with it, but they were really happy when it was the final cut.

I was there last night until reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally like, freezing. It was taking them forever to set up for the next seen, and they told the lot of us, that for our safety, it's best that we go to the other side of the street, that way if anything went wrong, we wouldn't be hurt!

Ohhhh I was looking forward to see what that was about.

Some morons kind of bunged it up for the rest of us. They were drunk, and kept coming back and forth from their apartment, and burping really loudly, and when they would say, "QUIET!!!!!!!!!!!" some jerk would go, "OOOOOOOKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY" and some kid was pouring something out his window, and almost hit some people walking by, and he was also making really weird, obnoxious noises. This wasn't DURING filming though, thank God. Otherwise, I think they'd have said forget it, and thought this place was full of morons.

You see the University has brought a slew of business and activity to us, but it's also brough a bunch of riff-raff and, unfortunately, that's to be expected.

I'm not encouraging you to, but if you are going to try and take pictures, HAVE SOME COURTESY TO THEM, TURN OFF YOUR DAMN FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My brother was told that as long as the flash is OFF< they may not have a problem with us. Some morons were standing behind me taking pictures with their digi cam and they had their flash on!!! Idiots. Also, some other twit was using her cellphone to take pictures, and didn't care if she had the flash on.

Please people who are reading this, don't ruin it for the rest of us. Last time, when I was taking pictures of the Silent Hill set, I was told later on I couldn't and told to delete my photos off my digital camera, and the lady was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally intimidating, so I did. I pictures of the cast and EVERYTHING. Ugh. I was told that because morons were taking pictures DURING filming, and had their flash on, and they didn't like that. They didn't give *beep* that I wasn't one of them, so it ruined it for me.

I took some absolutely awesome shots though, and I shared them wisely. I didn't post any "making of" scenes and I was not going to post any pictures with the Cast, until AFTER the movie it's premere nation wide. Actually, I wanted to contact Sony Pictures to see if they would like to use them for promotional purposes.

For this movie, they had their own promotional photographers present. I'm going to try and chat with one of them later on if I can. Get some advise on how to make it that far as a Photographer.

Thanks, AutumnSangria....good to know. I take it that you wouldn't recomend that we bring a video camera, yeah?

reply


LMAO.

I don't recommend anything. Heh.

Just keep in mind, if you get caught, it's a lot worse (imo) if you're caught recording it, then if you are taking pictures. Pictures don't quite have the same effect as an amateur video.

Say for instance, they would worry you'd post it on the internet on YouTube or something like that, and everyone would see the UNFINISHED product, which likely won't come off as good as the movie is going to be.

Pictures are interpeted differently by everyone. I wish I got a recording of the Silent Hill set. Not of the movie itself, just went around video taping the set. Then add some spooky music to it. lol

Thanks for all the info, Marie. You are wise and resourceful. If you take any pics of Scott Speedman, can you let me know. I'd love to post them on my website. Not so much of the filming, but I mean if you took one with him or just of him off camera. Best of luck with your phtography. Sounds like it might be a budding career for you.

Thanks so much Erin!

I definately want to pursue it someday.

Ah, and I'll see about that. I definately know who he is now. :(

I can't get the bunch my brother took to come out clear enough to see what they are. :( I still don't know how he got them so dark, it's like he was in a box or something. LOL

I'm considering getting all dolled up and going to the next set location, just to see what's going on, it's sunset right now. Would've been the best time to go out there. It's kind of cold though. :(

You definitely need to check out Felicity and Underworld if you haven't. Felicity is my favorite show ever. It was truly a wonderful show, and Scott was terrific in it.

reply

Oh I had seen Underworld, the Second and First.

It still urks me they stole that story straight from White Wolf Gaming.
Heh.

Anyhoo.

He was AWESOME in that movie. I vaguely, vaguely remember the hot guy on Felicity. ;)

We went up to where they are filming, but there was rain and wind, and all we could see was the trucks, trailors, and the crew hidden under a tarp of some sort. So, we left. At least I know now where it is. I wasn't aware of that part of Bunkford before. lol.

I'm so dumb!!!

I've been watching the MTV Canada preview recently, a lot, lol. And it keeps preving some movie, and there's a woman who talks about the movie, LMAO. It's Weirdsville!! They have an interview with Wes, Taryn, and Scott from when they were filming in Hamilton!!!

I didn't realize this until the 5th time it aired! Ugghhhhh. I could'a gone to hamilton. Heck, when they filmed part of X-Men there, I could'a gone too. A friend of the family saw them filming and stuff. I should'a went. :(

So, Scott's from TO? He said he visits there for friends and family, unless he was talking about "The Hammer", which is apparently what people fondly call Hamilton? Sorta like we call Brantford, "Bunkford" lmao. I didn't know that before.

I wonder if where they are now, if they are still there, it's a closed set. Has anyone gone!? Does anyone know if it is!!?
