I was reluctantly dragged to the movie "Warm Bodies" over the weekend. Despite the cheesy plot and teenage aimed zombie style romance, I did notice the entire movie was shot in Montreal. Throughout the movie I kept thinking to myself "this area looks so familiar". It does have some great skyline shots of Montreal though and has scenes in the Olympic Stadium, Old Montreal, Mont Royal, and many streets in the city. It made me miss Montreal, I can't wait to go back!

That's out? I didn't realise that was out yet. Might go see it.

Superb shot, thanks.

102st Centre (Manu 2) will add quite a lot to this shot.

Nice photos from Edmonton, Montreal, Van & Calgary! Herald Sq. and a couple others get built and Calgary will really have stunning skyline!

We're really blessed with lots of wonderful cities that offer their own distinct flavour and visual interest. The big boys get most of the accolades, but there's a lot of great development happening nationally.
