Hollywood stars light up Vancouver
Hollywood stars light up Vancouver
Vancouver, British Columbia, might as well be known as Canada's Hollywood as of late, as some major stars have been calling the city home.
The television, movie and music industries all united on one star-studded Friday night that saw multiple film crews taking to the streets and dazzling residents and tourists alike.
Tom Cruise and the crew of "Mission: Impossible 4" have been in town for a while, and the celebrity and his family have been seen at various hotspots around the city. On Friday night, the crew was outside filming a scene.
Across town, "Underworld 4," which recently arrived in B.C., was simultaneously filming a scene at the Orpheum Theatre. The new movie features Kate Beckinsale and will reportedly continue filming over the next few weeks.
Also in Vancouver was Bon Jovi, playing a concert at the Rogers Arena. The CW network show "Supernatural" was also reportedly out on the same night, filming a scene at the Terminal City Iron Works.
Finally, perhaps the most popular film in B.C. was actually outside the city - the cast of "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" were on set in Squamish, just outside Whistler.
Travelers on a Canadian vacation won't be guaranteed to have a run-in with a celebrity, but considering the number of film, TV and rock stars mulling around the city at any given time, there's probably a pretty good chance.
