A journey to the past (+ follow-up on Corin Nemec)

[wraithfodder]

First, way way back in 2008, Wes Craven made a film in my area. I wrote up an insane post on it at http://wraithfodder.livejournal.com/276274.html ince I perused the area before the film crew totally left. Now to the present... I was wondering what was on SyFy tonight and *flails arms* OMG, it's that movie! It looks like your typical 'virtually all the teenagers will die by hands of demented killer' type movie, but I'm only going to watch it to see if I recognize where they film a scene. Not like there's anything else on tonight. It was called "25/8" in the beginning and is now "My Soul to Take." Oh yup, typical horror movie fare.

Meanwhile, saw that Corin Nemec got to twitter on January 31st to make a quick post:

[Corin Nemec‏@imcorinnemecThanks for the kind thoughts and words, I really appreciate them all. I won't be on #Twitter again for awhile, long road ahead... #recovery.]

Oddly enough, I haven't seen anything on SyFy's site about this accident. Sheesh.

And it's FREEZING outside. Gak, I want Spring!

Now you sound like me in watching GRIMM and picking out all the places I know......and earlier that series which is now cancelled
Leverage
It really shocked me when they cancelled Leverage.
I despise the SyFy films, and I use the term loosely,
and yell at the tv when they repeat their miserable mantra,
'Imagine greater' when they advertise on other cable stations which I watch

"I can. Give us back SGA"

Hope he will recover OK without problems but he does have a long road ahead of him.

Spring would be nice, did the dopey groundhog see his shadow or not?
Snow is on the way and more cold behind it for the rest of the week!

That is so funny about the movie. But really, 25/8?

The only shooting locations I repeatedly spot on TV are from Vancouver (recently in "Once Upon a time" and "Arrow") and Cardiff for "Doctor Who" and "Torchwood" of course.

However, I can provide better movies filmed in my area ;) Some of the nature scenes of "Cloud Atlas" were filmed in Saxon Switzerland, which is a beautiful landscape only an hour by train away, also a bit of "Inglorious Basterds" was filmed there.

And a bit more to the East, in a city called Görlitz, Hollywood is turning up repeatedly. Right now they film "The Grand Budapest Hotel" there with lots of really big stars, and in previous years The Reader" was filmed there. Those are just the ones from the top of my head, I think there are more.

It is a nice old town with historical buildings, so perfect for scenes set in the past.
