EXCERPT:

 

Tasmania's capital is one of the stars of a new feature film being shot in the city.

 

'Arctic Blast' stars U-S actor Michael Shanks, as he leads a battle to save the world from a series of huge blasts of ice fog that are causing deadly snap-freezing.

 

The film's Australian and Canadian producers started filming on Monday, and will shoot for a total of 18 days.

 

One of the executive producers, Pierre David, says when he films in Canada, local cities are often represented as being in the U-S, but that is not the case with 'Arctic Blast'.

 

"This script is written for Hobart. It says Hobart, it has Hobart, we don't change the licence plate, we don't change anything, we have emergency vehicles from Hobart, we have police vehicles from Hobart.

.....

 

It is scheduled for worldwide release in the latter half of 2010.

I keep thinking of chewing gum too...

However, I know he has what - 3 sproglets (2 w/ Lexa) & he was trying to do some house flipping until the housing market collapsed and he was left holding the mortgage on a couple of properties. (I seem to remember him being in court over them a year or two ago...)

And as for Zats_Clear definition... I'm gonna flee and pretend I didn't follow that link, because uhm, yeah, my brain hurts now. :-p

Yeah, brain hurts, too ;)

Yeah, I remember the house flipping thing. Both him and Chris Judge got foreclosed or something on rental properties, something like that.

I'd like to point out, I was just doing an innocent search of the name of the movie, when that came up! I'd never heard the term before in my life!

obviously, I am behind on watching Rescue Me and Californication

Ha! Well, haven't watched either of those two shows either ;) Although I must admit, it's not like it's a term I need to know, although now watching the movie will make me laugh hysterically unless they c hange the title ;)
