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.

oh sigh...wonder how the poor man feels about being called a U-S actor? I guess in Tasmania, they just figure US, Canada, it's all one continent...

I looked up Arctic Blast to see if there were any other press releases or whatever? And you know how you said you can't hear that w/o thinking of chewing gum? I'm about to change that for you...

Seriously, every time I hear the title, I start thinking 'House payment? Kids education fund? Something?'.

But a job's a job no matter how strange they are.

Or as Colin Cunningham put it: 'At the end of they day, no matter who you just spent the last 16 hours in front of the camera with, you still have to come home and fix the garbage disposal.'

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
