See if you can spot the local Vancouver celebrity (okay perhaps not a celebrity but certainly a noticeable face) in the trailer for the movie 2012. This big budget blockbuster flick was filmed in our lovely city. However, next year probably won’t be as fruitful for movie and television production in B.C. what with the Canadian dollar reaching parity again and of course the tax incentives out in Ontario and Quebec. Wake up B.C. Liberals!
For those of you who are wondering what this movie is all about rest assured we’ll tell you…
It is based on the acient Mayan prophecy that the world will end in 2012 due to some planetary alignments or some sort of mumbo jumbo like that. Do I believe in this? Not a chance, heck even the Mayans have refuted this saying it has been misinterpreted. Seems like Y2K and the prediction that the world will end in the year 2000 all over again. Nonetheless it looks like a great movie to just sit back and relax. No crazy plot twists or thinking involved in this one.
