On Nov.1, the City of Vancouver warned residents that there would be another film shoot with highly visible graphic content in Gastown.
The shoot, which involved multiple mock dead bodies and even a mock dead police horse, transformed the city streets into a post-apocalyptic hellscape. Based on the horror novel The Stand by Stephen King, the set design for the TV series "Radio Nowhere" calls for a great deal of disturbing imagery, dialogue and noise.
Bus and traffic were diverted as a result of the shoot, and Salvation Productions sent out Resident Notification letters to inform locals of street closures. It added that scenes would include, “the brandishing of a weapon, course language, and special effects rain.”
Twitter user @66mitchell captured a couple of shots of actress Heather Graham talking with actor Jovan Adepo on set, and a number of people snapped photos of the mock dead police horse.

According to StephenKing.com, The Stand is about a deadly flu that wipes out most of the world’s population. The survivors must choose between following two people and, “The two factions prepare for a confrontation between the forces of good and evil.”
IMDb states that the 10-episode series is set to air in 2020 and stars Whoopi Goldberg, James Marsden, Jovan Adepo, and Amber Heard.
