Motive brings actors home

From Brad Oswald of the Winnipeg Free Press:

  • The Motive is clear, Canadian TV series drew actor home
    They aren’t just making a TV show. They’re also making a statement about how, and where, they want to pursue their careers as actors. The stars of the upcoming CTV police drama Motive, which is currently in production in Vancouver, have very definite ideas about what being part of this new Canadian series means, personally as well as professionally. On a predictably rainy Tuesday in November, Motive’s producers invited TV writers from several Canadian cities to visit the show’s headquarters at The Bridge Studios in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby. During interviews on the show’s set, its two lead cast members — both Canadians who have had lengthy careers in the U.S. — cited Motive’s location and unapologetically Canadian attitude as major factors in their decision to sign on.

Rogue makes Vancouver home

From Glen Schaefer of The Province:

  • Good graces return Thandie Newton to Vancouver
    “We were down at the docks this morning and it’s bloody freezing,” says writer-creator Matthew Parkhill, a Brit with a resumé of novels, film, TV and poetry. The four months of filming in Vancouver that wrapped in November mark the culmination of a four-year history with his biggest project yet, a story that started, oddly enough, in Vancouver. Read more.

Featured, Heartland

Heartland’s “epic episode” tonight teased

HeartlandCBC

By Diane Wild of TV, eh?

Some of the Heartland cast were on hand at CBC Vancouver’s Open House and Food Bank Day on Friday, where more than $500,000 was raised for local food banks.

I spoke to Lower Mainland natives Graham Wardle (Ty), Jessica Amlee (Mallory) and Alisha Newton (Georgie) and will have more on our discussion in the new year. But tonight is a big episode. How big? Well, I don’t know, really, but I can guess. If you’re a regular viewer of Heartland you probably can — and have — too. The official blog is hyping this episode as “EPIC.” What could it be, what could it be? Hmm. Apropos of nothing, Ty and Amy sure have been dating for a while, haven’t they?

The cast revealed no actual spoilers, but we talked around the apparently epic episode and its epic scene. I mentioned that I had a feeling people were probably correct in their guessing.

“Probably,” Wardle sort-of confirmed.

“There’s a significant event that happens and while we were shooting the scene of this event, it was supposed to be a beautiful sunset but it was thunder and lightening,” said Wardle. “When you see it you won’t know all these things. We had to use special camera tricks to make it seem the opposite of what it was.”
