Tin Man

Across from my Grandma's house in Burnaby there is a big park and over the years many film and TV productions have chosen to film there. They have shot X-men 3, Dreamcatcher, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, Beer Money, Smallville, The Crow: Stairway to Heaven, and the Police Academy TV show just to name a few. Each time they do my Grandparents call to let us know. Ever since I've been able to drive to Van I've always wanted to drive down there and watch them film. To this day it hasn't happened yet. Them I get the call from the Grandparents today saying the next production will be filming Monday and Wednesday. It is for a mini series called Tin Man. Here's the plot according to IMDB:

"The miniseries is a sometimes psychedelic, often twisted and always bizarre take on The Wizard of Oz. It centers on DG, a young woman plucked from her humdrum life and thrust into The Outer Zone (the O.Z.), a fantastical realm filled with wonder, but oppressed by dark magic. DG discovers her true identity, battles evil winged monkey-bats and attempts to fulfill her destiny. Her perilous journey begins on the fabled Old Road that leads to a wizard known as the Mystic Man. Along the way, she is joined by "Glitch," an odd man missing half his brain; "Raw," a quietly powerful wolverine-like creature longing for inner courage; and "Cain," a heroic former policeman (known in the O.Z. as a "Tin Man"), who is seeking vengeance for his scarred heart. Ultimately, DG's destiny leads her to a showdown with the wicked sorceress Azkadellia, whose ties to DG are closer than anyone could have imagined. "

Sounds pretty cool. It stars Zooey Deschanel (you can also add her to my list on your silly question Jenn...Giggity), Neal McDonough, Richard Dreyfuss, Alan Cumming, and Callum Keith Rennie. The shitty part is I work Monday, but if I have Wed and Thursday off like I did this week I'm so driving down there. It would be so cool to watch a show shoot, or meet some famous people.
