Is there another movie being filmed in the Sault?

[The Handyman]

I recall reading about other productions who have shot here. They did not stay in trailers.

If they didn't stay in trailers, it is because the production budget was so low, and the actors so "B", that it didn't matter. Read Cat's posts on why they use trailers.

The food on-set for mealtimes/breaks was catered by Sault restaurants. They ate at various restaurants on a regular basis and they were seen out at night at various Soo watering holes. Some have even done some shopping here and done touristy things.

You mean the stand-ins and SOME of the crew. I was on the set of "Collaborator" where the Kraft Trailer was swamped by "their "a-list" cast and main production crew. I shared a bowl of soup (figuratively) with the actors and crew, .... this is how it's done. They aren't dropping buckets of cash in the Soo, ... they are here long enough to shoot, then gone.

There are a lot of actors, including those who are considered A-listers. who are doing smaller indie movies to get away from the formulaic, sequel-heavy, massively over-controlled stuff that the major studios insist on making. But many of them get shown at major film festivals and some of them become very successful money-makers.

Actors go where the money is. It is not the actor that makes a movie, but the producer. Actors are a dime-a-dozen, ... even the A-list ones, ..... if they miss their 15 minutes of fame, they are done, .... they have very little control of their product. There are only three film festivals worth anything, ... Cannes, Sundance, and TIFF, .... anything else shows the fluff stuff.

I doubt that any of the cities that are major filming locales started out demanding boatloads of money to shoot in their city. If they do it now, it has taken a fair bit of time to get to that point.

Are you considering the Soo a major city of the movie industry? It is an industry norm to expect to pay fees for permits and such to shoot a movie. The industry knows the Soo hasn't caught on to this concept, and is abusing it to the nth degree, .... their are few friends or loyalty in the film business, ... just look at the marriages.

I don't go the movies either and other NCIS, Bones and Touch, the shows I watch on tv are mostly on HGTV, Discovery and History. But I recognize the names and faces. But that is neither here nor there. What I'm particularly glad to see on this shoot is the number of Sault and area people who are involved on the production side, including the director.

If you are basing your opinions on what you watch, TV is not the same as film. The Soo connection is aware of the freebees here, they are the ones raping the Soo, ... once again, no loyalty to your home town, .... lets just take, take, take, ... and get outta' Dodge.

I doubt if you asked any of these people if they felt "used", they'd laugh. They DO get paid as do the extras.

I still do not understand the antipathy about this issue.

Extra with speaking parts get paid union standards, ... the rest nothing unless they meet a minimum of screen time, .... thus, ending on the cutting room floor. I am sure many would laugh, ... most fools do.

You're forgetting that MANY people do a lot of things they enjoy just for the fun of it and/or the experience. It would be a sad world if everybody demanded to be paid for everything they did. Thus, I still don't understand why you are so exercised by this.

I've been demanding pay since I've come here. If anybody is willing to pay me per post, inbox me. This free ride of wit and wisdom is almost over. My teet is running on empty.

Out of all that and all I got was Johnny Depp. You can list all their accomplishments and it will serve no purpose as I watch no, that is right, no movies. I have seen about 6 in my 63 years. Now if you wish to discuss a book, I am your man.

He knows the actual people that were portrayed in movies. The cast of 10 Commandments were like brothers to him.

You seem to have missed the 3rd sentence in my post, sorry. I have read far more than 6 books. My responses are "idiotic", is this because my opinion differs?

Yo...They bring in trailers and motor homes for the cast to stay in as to avoid the nuisance that the public causes when they have open access to the "stars" of the cast. if you ever watch the credits of a movie and was wondering what "Kraft" was when you see it listed, that is a mobile food service that prepares meals and snacks for cast and crew. The production set up does not want to spend unnecessary time on location while cast and crew dine at local restaurants. Also, many actors are quite particular about what they eat and who prepares it and will not trust a local restaurant to prepare their food. The inside of a kraft trailer is full of shelves with a broad selection of foods for the finicky.

Thank you.

Thank you.

To myself it is neither a positive nor a negative but on occasion it is an inconvenience. Among them be it. My point was/is they tend to spend little as their interest (pun intended) lay in making money. While those directly involved get obscene amounts of money those on the periphery see small recompense. Others saw fit to point out all involved become millionaires over night as movie companies fling money willy nilly to one and all.
