Between Nolan filming parts of his last 2 non-Batman movies here, Fargo's huge success, and Hell on Wheels, Alberta's film making scene has gotten a massive boost in the last few years. My aunt works in extras casting and worked on Inception, Interstellar, Fargo, and currently Hell on Wheels. Everyone she talks to from actors to directors to random staff the studios bring up from the US has nothing but good things to say about Calgary and the surrounding area. Billy Bob Thornton in particular seemed to really enjoy it here, as according to her he would always sit and chat with the local crews during lunch because quoting him "You're all just so darn friendly"
He was less enthused about the brutal winter we had last year when they were filming, but the Fargo directors loved it, said it was some of the least amount of environmental prep work they've ever had to do
