It’s always strange to see solely English on the streets of Montreal but if anything can bypass Quebec’s wild language laws, it’s the magic of movies.
TheĀ Scream 6 production has transformed the sidewalks and storefronts of Sherbrooke Street in NDG into NYC.
A depanneur has been transformed into a bodega and Sherbrooke was decorated with iconic New York City yellow cabs.
