The weather may have turned cooler in Vancouver, but Hollywood North is as hot as ever, with stars aplenty flocking to our awesome city in October.
From musical megastars to acting icons, you never know who you might see strolling along Kits Beach.
Here are 23 famous faces you might be able to spot in Vancouver this month:
Charlize Theron
Mad Max megastar Charlize Theron is in Vancouver this month to film Tully, which reunites her with Young Adult writer Diablo Cody and director Jason Reitman.
Theron plays Marlo, a mother of three, who is gifted a night nanny by her brother and forms a unique bond with the surprising and sometimes challenging young nanny.
Earlier, Theron posted this shot from the very secretive set…
- Not many other cast members have been revealed, but Charlize Theron is sure to be joined by her co-star Mackenzie Davis, a Vancouver local.
Benicio Del Toro
Little detail has been released about The Predator (codenamed Ollie), the latest reboot of the Predator franchise, but Benicio Del Toro is rumoured to have a role in the movie.
The film, directed by Shane Black (Iron Man 3) and produced by original Predator producer Joel Silver, is set to start filming in Vancouver in October.
Stephen Amell
The star of Arrow, Stephen Amell, will also be in Vancouver in October, as filming of the hit TV show continues.
As a treat for fans, in the last few days he posted a video of himself dressed as Arrow, debating whether to go to Starbucks and order a latte in costume.
Vera Farmiga
Oscar-nominated actress Vera Farmiga will likely be in Vancouver in October to film TV show, Bates Motel, in which she plays overly protective mother Norma Bates.
Freddie Highmore
Farmiga will no doubt be joined by her Bates Motel co-star Freddie Highmore, who plays serial killer and son Norman Bates.
Rihanna
Surprisingly, superstar Rihanna may well join Farmiga in Vancouver, for a one-episode role in Bates Motel, playing Marion Crane.
Crane was the character killed off in the book and Alfred Hitchcock’s film version of Psycho, to which the TV show acts as a prequel. Since this is the final season of Bates Motel, speculation is rife over exactly how much we will see of Rihanna – and whether we will see her meet her comeuppance.
Tegan and Sara
Everything is awesome for The Quin twins – they just released their eighth studio album Love You To Death to rave reviews and their fall tour is selling out quickly.
The Canadian singer/songwriting duo are playing Vancouver on October 5 – so look out for the awesome twosome around town.
Brandon Routh
Another TV star hanging around Vancouver right now is Brandon Routh, who’s continuing to film his part as The Atom in Legends of Tomorrow.
He’s been posting a few treats on Instagram for fans, including this one in full costume as The Atom.
And this one with his friends from The Flash, which is also filming in Vancouver right now.
Ray Winstone
Stalwart of British acting, Ray Winstone could be in Vancouver in October, if he is reprising his role as Cam Green in TV series Ice.
Donald Sutherland
Likewise, Hunger Games star and acting icon Donald Sutherland could join Winstone in Vancouver in October, if he reprises his role as Pieter Van De Bruin in TV series Ice.
Norah Jones
Singer songwriter Norah Jones has sold 50 million albums, collected nine Grammys, and has no intention of slowing down any time soon.
Her latest album Day Breaks is described as a “kindred spirit” to her stunning debut album Come Away With Me. Jones is playing Vancouver later in October.
Jenna Elfman
Former Dharma & Greg star, Jenna Elfman, is in Vancouver filming a new TV show, Imaginary Mary, the story of a workaholic whose imaginary childhood friend comes back to join her as an adult.
Last week, she took a trip to Kitsilano Beach and couldn’t resist Instagramming it:
Ron Livingston
Ron Livingston, known for his roles in Office Space and Band of Brothers, is also in Vancouver in October, filming Loudermilk.
The new TV comedy show tells the story of Dave Loudermilk, a recovering alcoholic and substance abuse counsellor with an extremely bad attitude
Uma Thurman
You might also spot Uma Thurman around Vancouver in October. She’s been cast in a guest star role in My So-Called Wife, a new TV show filming in town this month.
The show follows a con artist, played by Inbar Lavi, and her victims. Thurman plays a fixer, a role that was written specifically for her.
Robert Carlyle
Of course, Robert Carlyle will likely be out and about around Steveston and Vancouver, filming his usual role of Rumplestiltskin on Once Upon A Time.
Ginnifer Goodwin
Carlyle will also be joined by his Once Upon A Time co-star Ginnifer Goodwin, who plays Snow White in the hit TV show.
Thandie Newton
Hollywood star Thandie Newton will also be in Vancouver in October, making Rogue, in which she plays an undercover cop dealing with murder, espionage and conspiracy.

One of the biggest reggae musicians in the world is coming to Vancouver this month – Ziggy Marley. The son of famed reggae artist and international icon Bob Marley, Ziggy is bringing his signature sound as part of a mega-tour across the US and Canada.
Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon
Actor Kyra Sedgwick is in Vancouver this month, making her directing debut at the helm of Story of a Girl, a TV movie, in which her husband Kevin Bacon stars.
Adapted from the novel by Sara Zarr, the film tells the story of a teenager who must deal with the fallout after a video of her having sex goes viral.
Rachel Blanchard
We all remember her as Cher in the Clueless TV show, but Rachel Blanchard is back, filming in Vancouver for You Me Her.
Blanchard plays Emma in the TV show, which centres around a three-way romantic relationship involving a suburban married couple.
Kanye West
Kanye West’s October 17 show in Vancouver has nearly sold out – no surprise given that fans with floor tickets will be able to dance underneath him as the stage floats above them.
But after his wife Kim was brutally attacked in Paris, it’s possible West may decide not to continue touring right now.
If so, it would be the third show West has cancelled in Vancouver in as many years. Here’s hoping he can still make it – and maybe brings Kim with him for a bit of West Coast R&R.
