Celebrities at McMaster
Apparently Kevin Spacey and Kelly Preston are currently in MDCL shooting a movie. Just so you all know.

A quick IMDB search reveals that Casino Jack is a movie that both Kelly Preston and Kevin Spacey are filming currently.

Wow that is so awesome. If you are in Toronto, I believe that they are currently shooting Scott Pilgrim. Michael Cera is playing the main character. I think they did a good job on choosing the main character, he seems like a Scoot Pilgrim. If you have read the comics yet, they are good. It's set in Toronto, which is why they are filming it here.

Cera is actually from Brampton, sooo I bet when they film in Toronto he's staying at his parents' place!

Micheal Cera is a cutie. Maybe I'll do a little stalking...

But it seems like he's always playing the same character - the sort of lost puppy, not really sure what's going, goes with the flow character. I'm still looking forward to the Arrested Development movie (I still hope that's a go.) ;]

Really random films like Hairspray and I think Hulk have parts filmed in Hamilton.

Lol, now that you mention it he does seem to be always playing the same character. But I still find it funny. I can't wait for the fight scenes XD

Yes, Hulk was filmed at UofT! My brother saw Edward Norton walk right in front of him!

May Payne underwater Scene was shot in the IWC pool. Also American Pie: Naked Mile was shot in McMaster; The Centre of Campus was shown in a number of scene and If I'm not wrong there was a good length scene inside Quarters as well

Hmmm.

I wonder if I'll see him around.

I live in Brampton and I know my friend saw him at the movies one time so I know he's been around before.

Ya, Hulk was filmed in Dundas! I was walking by and I saw all the trailers, and I even talked to an actress in it. She didn't have a large role but that was still really cool. I wouldn't have minded seeing Edward Norton though. I also drove by when they were filming a scene downtown in the middle of the night.
