They've been filiming Tin Star in High River this past summer and fall. Mostly the downtown area where they set up fake store fronts that foten confuse residents.
Have run into Christina Hendricks a few times but sadly he turned down my offers of dinner.
[QUOTEProduction crews from Kudos Film and Television have arrived in the community and have started filming the new “Tin Star” series, which was created by acclaimed British director Rowan Joffe.
The show stars Tim Roth, known for roles in Quentin Tarantino films 'The Hateful Eight,' 'Reservoir Dogs,' and 'Pulp Fiction,' as well as Christina Hendricks who starred in 'Mad Men' and 'Drive'.
This production has been described as “an epic tale of deception, betrayal, murder and revenge set against the backdrop of a remote and beautiful Canadian mountain town,” according to a release.
Jason Nolan, location manager, discussed the importance of High River as a location.
“We love to shop local,” he is quoted as saying in the release. “We are very excited to show High River off to the world and look forward to filming in town this year.”
Much of the show will be filmed inside the old Vespucci's building on Third Avenue SW, as this is the show's main filming location for the first season of this series.
This week, crews will be located on the gravel lot between 128 and 130 Fourth Ave SW, the lot south of the High River United Church and off 420 Centre Street N at the former River Roadhouse lot.
According to a town press release, part of the set dressing will include temporary aesthetic changes to business storefronts in the downtown core. They will be removed once filming is complete.
Already, the exterior of the Museum of the Highwood has been transformed into the Little Big Bear Police station and the sign above John Barlow's MP office is for a mountain sports equipment store.
Below is a list of dates and times that crews will be filming throughout the next week :
