Subject: The cast and crew of "Man of Steel" wrapped up their shoot over here on the Island on Friday.

Was very amused on Sat morning to see a couple of piles of rotting snow out behind the pub they took over near the hatchery we walk the dogs at; guess if your set is supposed to look like a small Alaskan fishing village, there just has to be some snow!! Took some pics the other night of the dozens of cars/trucks/boom trucks clustered around what had been an incredibly run down biker bar on the side of the highway and got a couple of interior shots today, so we can compare them to the finished product when the movie does come out in 2013.

I was pretty much disinterested in this movie (despite Amy Adams as Lois) until I saw pictures of Henry Cavill as he looked in the scenes shot here, complete with scruffy beard and hair. Not bad at all....

LOL

That's two movies this year, isn't it?

I think it's easier to get the crew moved from Vancouver to here than it would be to get the comparable numbers into a REAL Alaskan fishing village. Add some fake snow, hire a bunch of locals to double as loggers and fishermen (Don was laughing at the "Cat" brand logging trucks they had at the pub) and some local kids to act in the Ukie scenes and you've got the realistic looking kind of color at a much cheaper price.

The pub shut down last year. Nasty place. Got bought, new owners reopened the liquor store on the right side, cleaned up the worst of the outside trash (old travel trailers,etc) and were working on the interior when work stopped a couple of months ago. Then we heard it was going to be used as a movie set...all these for two days of shooting, not sure how many minutes that will translate to onscreen!

It'll be neat seeing all the places onscreen.

I remember going around Nelson looking for the places where they filmed Steve Martin's "Roxanne." The "All Things Dead" store - Firehouse - Baker Street - etc.....

No one had out USA flags like the movie though!

Because somehow Coors Light doesn't somehow seem right for what was a biker bar. LOL.
