We have a big thread on The Last of Us but there are a bunch of other filming projects that I have encountered around town in the last few years and I thought we could consolidate a thread for miscellaneous projects people might like to know about for castings, sightings, or just to watch if you like to see our city and province on screen.
Current:
- Under the Banner of Heaven - Just heard this FX series was filming in Alberta and will be filming in the Capitol Hill neighborhood tomorrow. This is a series with Andrew Garfield and Sam Worthington that seems to be some kind of Mormon murder mystery
- Fargo the TV series seasons 1-3, various cast sightings all around town
- Tin Star. Bumped into Christina Hendricks at my downtown condo elevator at the times those were filmed
- Ghostbusters Afterlife, mostly in small town Alberta but original cast including Sigourney Weaver were at downtown restaurants. Adam Savage filmed a bunch of his GB Tested Youtube episodes at the Calgary Film Center.
- Interstellar, Okotoks ball park and various other places
I was told a Kate Beckinsale show (I thought it was a movie, but see from that list more likely a show) was filming just off Northmount and 14th Street NW a few months ago. I wondered if it was at the new Moose McGuires location, as the parking lot was packed with white cube vans/trailers.

Guilty Party. I guess it's already out and the reviews aren't great.
Exit Wounds is up on Netflix now. I threw it on just to watch the Centre St bridge scene. (The rest of the film was shot in Toronto) Still fun to watch an action scene in a familiar setting.
- Joe Pickett just finished filming and “Skulls” aka new Predator movie also wrapped around the end of September. Both were filmed at various locations in Morley, Bragg Creek and along the Bow River east of Okotoks.
- Billy the Kid finished up filming season 1 late October at various southern Alberta locations as well and they are back filming at least 1 more season starting in the spring.
- Fraggle Rock is filming another season back at the Calgary Film Studio as well.
Disney/Fox has also taken out a 5 year lease on Studio space in the Calgary area and Paramount has signed a 3 year lease as well. Next year should be just as active for filming at this year and I will post more info as I find it out.

Lol OT but my jaw would need to be wired shut for it not to smash the floor if I were to "bump" into Christina Hendricks lol.

She looked like the average person going out to walk her dog in winter clothes. Most celebs/athletes look like normal people. Dougie Hamilton lived in my condo too and I bumped into him in the elevator. I should have asked him what his favorite museums were.

This is where the guy dived off the bridge into the bow river to escape the attack? In real life he would have hit the bottom and died lol

I think that went over your head a bit. When you said bumped into her, I of course was immediately thinking of one of her well known assets, and thus my comment was envisioning physically bumping into that asset.
Though, I would bet she is still uncommonly attractive in dog walking get up compared to the average inhabitant of your condo building.

Totally. She's at least 14% hotter than Dougie Hamilton.

Yep, Seagal throws the guy (the US Vice President) off the bridge to save him. The shot from the bridge even shows that the river is quite shallow and rocky underneath so I thought the same thing, but they do actually show a stuntman doing the jump from a different angle, so somebody did it and survived. Or possibly had a crash mat below the surface.
Under the Banner of Heaven - just wrapped shooting, doing a few small reshoots.
Last of Us - Season 1 filming wraps end of March with Season 2 staring again to film in May/June. Potential 3rd season in discussions as well.
Netflix - mini Series dubbed Two Harvies (I could be incorrect on this) starting to film in mid-March going to camera in Mid-April until September.
Amazon - Unnamed mini series filming March - September
Joe Pickett - Season 2 projected April/May start
Billy the Kid Season 2 - Projected June/July start
I will update more as I find out.
I talked to a PA who was working on set cleanup on The Last of Us. She said she worked on Under the Banner of Heaven and that trying to pretend that Calgary was Missouri was ridiculous during the cold spells. They were chipping away at ice with shovels and trying to clear everything off to pretend it was summer!
