Things are picking up in Vancouver with several new productions hitting the streets.
There are a couple of gearing up to being filming in Vancouver this spring. One popular new series is "Primeval New World" which is starting near the end of February with the first of 13 episodes.
"Primeval" is a new series similar to the UK version in which a Canadian team of scientist and animal experts take on animals discovered coming through a portal or anomalies. Bell Media and Omni are the producers and it will air on the Space channel.
A TV pilot "Arrow" will also shoot for two weeks in March. "Arrow" is a character spin off from the Smallville series produced by CW network. They are also using the old Smallville space on 6228 Beresford St.
"There’s been a certain amount of buzz concerning the upcoming Green Arrow TV show. On the one hand, some Smallville fans are upset that The CW isn’t spinning-off the Green Arrow character portrayed by actor Justin Hartley on the now-finished Superman origin show. On the other hand, those who never really got into Smallville are happy that the character is getting a fresh start.
Of course, one big issue facing the series is the choice of the lead actor who will play Green Arrow and his alter-ego Olvier Queen, a playboy industrialist who becomes a radical politician /costumed vigilante armed with technologically-enhanced arrows".
