Wednesdays With Lynne

It is always so thrilling to get to read Lynne McNamara swoon over Pierce Brosnan coming to town in her latest Vancouver Sun column. But I'm left scratching my head about Brosnan's creepy new beard, and when she tries to give us the news on who is filming here in town. "We're not sure if former Friend David Schwimmer will be in town today and Thursday when his black comedy-farce, Big Nothing, hits Vancouver for a two-day shoot," writes Lynne. "The film, being directed by Jean-Baptiste Andrea (Dead End) shot the majority of its footage last month on Britain's Isle of Man. Not sure why they chose that self-governing kingdom in the first place, when the setting of what they're calling a tragi-comedy is a mythical place called Big Falls, Ore."

Well, Lynne, not sure if you are aware of this - probably not, since you work at CanWest and thier grasp of the whole interweb is, well, circumspect - but if you did just 10 seconds of searching on Google, you would have found The Isle of Man Film Commission. They throw cash at filmakers just like we do and throw the magic of film it can be anywhere right? Get it? Maybe next time you see your buddy Bill Vince, you can ask him all about it, he filmed 2005's Riipley Under Ground there.

Although we do like that while she gives David Schwimmer props for this two-day gig shooting The Big Nothing she gets the shooting details correct. Over at 24 Hours they are talking about how they are just starting production on this film.
