A popular TV show is filming in Vancouver this week and the set calls for stunt driving, large crowds, special effects and some street closures.
Supergirl is an American TV show based on the DC Comics character of the same name. The show is filming its final season in the city, which airs Tuesdays on the CW.
In April, Vancouverites took to social media this week to share photos and videos from the superhero set.
Now, a resident notification letter from 137 Productions Inc states that filming will take place on Tuesday (July 20) from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. and will include "exterior/acrobatic elements, stunt driving and large crowds of background performers (extras) at street level along the1300 [and] 1400 blocks of W. Hastings St."
The company plans to use special effects and "poppers" to create "short bangs" and "small flame balls." Each sequence will be repeated several times throughout the day but not going past 5 p.m.
Vancouver Is Awesome Branded Content Manager Elizabeth The shared the resident notification letter on July 16.
