A Lake Placid shoot report from Vancouver

P. Renard tells tales of Crocs in Vancouver B.C. possibily snapping at the tasty Bridget Fonda's beautiful gams.Sounds like fun. Good work Agent Renard. You locals keep us informed.

I was in Vancouver today checking out the scene when to my surprise I espied many trucks and vans and signs saying "To Set ->" outside the Vancouver Museum of Art. My interest was piqued, and I realized that I had stumbled upon a movie crew shooting scenes in the city of a new Canadian flick called "Lake Placid". There was a huge scaffolding set up by the front wall of the musuem for exterior aerial shots of the downtown Vancouver.

Accosting on of the many loitering stage hands, i gleaned this information: The cast consists mainly of Vancouver locals, but Bill Pullman is starring. Possible other stars may include Bridget Fonda and Tom Arnold, but the stagehand may have been feeding me a line here.

The movie is about a man-eating crocodile, and is a comedy/suspense/thriller directed by Steve Minor (sp?) who directed Halloween H20. The crew was in its second day of shooting in the city, and on the 11th of a 50 day shoting schedule. They planned to move on to the British Columbia wilderness to finish the rest of shooting, as it was a good double for Maine, which was where it supposedly takes place.

This was as much information i could pull out of the stagehand before she started overcoming my jedi mind tricks. Gotta practice dem things.

well i hope this has been of service to you, Lord High of Cool.

this is P. Renard, signing off.
