"Pompeii" Buried Alive
"Resident Evil" screenwriter/director Paul W. S. Anderson will direct the 3D historical, disaster feature "Pompeii" in Toronto, April 22, 2013 to July 5, 2013 for Constantin Film and producers Jeremy Bolt and Don Carmody ("Resident Evil"), starring Emily Browning ("Sucker Punch") and Kit Harrngton ("Game of Thrones").
Toronto Film Has A Record Year
Thanks to a 25 per cent tax credit on all production costs, the Ontario-based film production industry logged in 273 productions in 2012, bringing in $1.28 billion to the provincial economy.
In British Columbia, pleas from the entertainment community have fallen on deaf ears as out-of-touch BC Premier Christy Clark continues to turn down requests for more generous film credits to counter the effects of a high dollar and tough competition from other jurisdictions. The BC film tax credit is currently set at 33 per cent of labor costs only. Misguided Clark recently told the BC industry, she believes other provinces will soon 'abandon' such 'rich benefits' for the film industry.
