Vancouver Plays Itself (in a movie)

Other than when Lucy Liu and Antonio Banderas went at in the classic film Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, good ol Vancouver, BC has hardly ever played itself in a flick that was filmed here. Even when the north shore mountains appear in what's supposed to the Bronx , Hollywood North has served as its cost effective location for doubling for other major North American cities.

However, if an Emily Carr grad and reputed one-man Vancouver tourism promoter Douglas Coupland writes a movie about Vancouver, it would be pretty silly for the city not to be a major character in the movie. So in Coupland's Everything's Gone Green a 20 something slacker named Ryan (Paul Costanzo: 40 Days, 40 Nights, Road Trip, Joey) gets dumped by his woman and has a lame ass job as a cheesy lottery magazine writer/photographer (he shoots the winners and writes about them). But when a money laundering scheme presents itself to Ryan, the opportunity is just too good to pass and soon come in the Benjimans. Ryan has to take mandarin lessons for work as well, and low and behold, Ryan gets the hots for an Asian hottie in his class played by Steph Song. But......the Asian chick doesnt dig Ryan's new found wealth in the hustle so Ryan sets out on a mission to prove that he's not what he appears to be (that and also convince the lady to break up with her BF).

Odds are also that BC Bud may possible play a supporting actor to lead City of Vancouver in a movie called Everything's Gone Green.

Everything's Gone Green is now playing at Tinseltown and Silver City Coquitlam
