Next month, Sony Pictures Imageworks (Alice in Wonderland, 2012), the animation and visual-effects arm of Sony Pictures Digital Productions, will announce its plans to open a Vancouver studio this spring.

Another big Hollywood player could be next. Both Hasselbach and Chenard say the interactive-entertainment software arm of George Lucas’s company Industrial Light & Magic (best known for the Star Wars films) is thinking about expanding north.
“LucasArts is definitely looking at Vancouver,” says Chenard, who says his students have had some face-time via Skype with Skywalker Ranch, the company’s creative headquarters.
LucasArts did not respond to a request for comment by deadline yesterday.
