Vancouver Film Notes: Snakes at the Nat & Gary Coleman

It's Tuesday, do you know what's filming around town?

*First tonight at the Nat, The Vancouver Canadians game is Hollywood North Night! Here is the hot details: "Nat Bailey Stadium will be transformed into "Tinsel Town" for the evening as baseball fans are treated to a real Hollywood experience. In attendance will be actors Chris Kramer (The Collector), Anita Brown (Godiva's, Dead Zone) and film stuntman Brad Loree. There will also be a host of other attractions including Paparazzi and the snakes from "Snakes on a Plane."

*Lynne McNamara's Saturday column is full of awesomeness. Let's break it down:

-Apparently now that Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have left Vancouver she's writing and directing a movie called Ashes to Ashes and talking to the American Association of Retired Persons. That's her demo.

-Spike Lee is coming to town. He is speaking at the Orpheum August 12th. Question, why is Terry David Mulligan the moderator. Does Spike Lee know of this?

-Halle Berry - who may or may not be pregnant - starts filming her next bit of box office poison August 14th, her 40th Birthday. How did that happen? What she fails to mention is that we will also be treated to Benicio Del Toro sightings and the return to Vancouver for David Duchovny who really enjoyed his last stay. [Things We Lost in the Fire] She also doesn't mention the amazing Halle website, Hallewood.

-Ice Cube, who used to be cool - remember when, starting shooting out in Burnaby's Deer Lake the sequel to Are we There Yet, Are We Done Yet. Smells like comedy gold, Jerry.

*No sign of Vancouver's Charles Martin Smith in the trailer for Lucky You, a poker movie with Drew Barrymore, Eric Bana and Robert Duvall. I might say, lucky him. Plot summary: "A hotshot poker player tries to win a tournament in Vegas, but is fighting a losing battle with his personal problems." Curtis Hanson who brough us LA Confidential is now bringing us a poker movie?

*And can you wrap up the Vancouver movie scene without mention of insane director Uwe Boll? His next movie going into production is Postal and stars, Gary Coleman. Cinematical notes that Mr. Boll is trying to get Sacha Baron Cohen to play opposite. Let's hear those Gary Coleman sightings as this one is going to camera.

*The originally slated to be Filmed in Vancouver movie, The Transformers gets the Access Hollywood treatment and an interview with Director Michael Bay. Thankfully Michael Bay is not running around Vancouver right now.
