Mock dead bodies, horse litter Vancouver streets in graphic Stephen King film shoot (PHOTOS)
Over the past weekend, downtown Vancouver was once again transformed into post-apocalyptic New York for the filming of Stephen King’s The Stand.
The soon-to-be miniseries is based on King’s 1978 horror novel that features a post-apocalyptic world where 99% of the population is wiped out.
The City of Vancouver shared a warning on social media for a second consecutive week, explaining that filming would take place in Gastown with “highly visible graphic content” such as “mock dead bodies, a mock dead police horse, trash, and debris.”
This weekend filming will be taking place in Gastown (Cambie St & Cordova St) which involves highly visible graphic content including mock dead bodies, a mock dead police horse, trash & debris. Buses & traffic will be diverted: https://t.co/X7carLRhxX #CityofVancouver #VanTraffic
