Ah hah! Think I figured out David Hewlett's new movie!

Some hints from Twitter from David Hewlett:

dhewlett: Day one on my latest primate movie ;-) Currently holding the key to a great performance: coffee and the ubiquitous breakfast burrito!

Well, that's enough data. I toodled on over to the British Columbia film commission website to see what was being filmed in Vancouver - http://www.bcfilmcommission

It sounds like it's the sequel to (newer) Planet of the Apes, so they're probably throwing lots of money at it:

Yay for DH!

[wraithfodder]

Yup. I was never much a fan of the movies (first one was good and then, well, as usual, went downhill) but I'll check it out for David :)

[dcdiva]

I wasn't a fan either, but i'm glad he's getting roles in major films. So underappreciated!

[vida_boheme]

Yeah, I'd worked out the same from details on several sites.
http://vida-boheme.livejournal.com/229150.html good news :D

[wraithfodder]

We're such sleuths. Did David think he'd fool us? ;)

[kristen999]

I think its supposed to be a prequel--kind of how the apes got to be intelligent and of course before they took over.

Go David!!

[vida_boheme]

Yes, it's a prequel.

[wraithfodder]

Yeah, from what little I read, I think you're correct.

[duffy_99]

Yeah, that's what I thought too. It's a prequel, right? I wonder if he got the part b/c they saw him in Splice.

[wraithfodder]

He was fun in Splice :)

Primate movie

My computer is broken or I would have worked it out myself. 8^) Good for you! I know I should just wait for you to figure these things out.

I already knew they were making a new Planet of the Apes movie, I just needed to confirm it was being shot in Vancouver when I saw David's tweet.

Re: Primate movie

[wraithfodder]

No problem. Gotta admit don't follow the Apes films but the search took seconds once I read his tweet :)
