A couple other benefits for BC is that we are relatively close to California (doesn't take long to go to and from), we are located in the same time zone (huge benefit), and southern BC is so diverse in landscape (both urban and natural) that a film taking place in many locations throughout the world can be filmed entirely in BC (good examples of this are fantastic 4 and the A-Team Movie).

I'm more upset at whoever decided he is a moviestar, than he himself. It's not his fault, surely.

How someone could look at him, in the casting of every single movie he's been in (aside from Even Stevens!) and think he's perfect for the job is just... I don't even know.

ET Canada Live Vancouver will be held at Jack Poole Plaza from October 24th - 26th. Workers were busy setting up the site on Sunday.
During the show, there will be interview with Hedley as well as one-on-one chats with actors Shawn Ashmore (X-Men) and Melody Thomas Scott (Young & the Restless). I think the show will be shown live on TV?

According to the news release, Hedley will be singing their new hit song "Invincible," the premier single from their forthcoming release Storms.
Hope the weather will cooperate tomorrow
