Just what the doctor ordered...a partner in crime.

I sooo will take you up on that. I'll share with the gas (the fuel type; not the disgusting one

) and I'll bring snacks, too. Oooh looking forward to a great stakeout.

I wish they'd work weekends so I wouldn't worry about time constraints, but I guess FOG being an independently produced film, I would think there's no budget for this.

So now I did manage to venture into the Deepwood location last night. And let me tell you it's no joke about that street. It really is located deep in the woods. But before anyone jumps for joy and starts yay-yay-ing... I just got as far as the street leading to Deepwood (Greenland)

I know, bummer! So I do the mapquest thing and instantly gets discouraged. (A) It's unchartered territory for me and (B) it's deep inside the inside streets. Kudos to the location manager. Too bad for me. But I was determined and curious. I know it'll bug me forever to not try and see the set once more especially since I got wind of the exact location (thanks to Jazz). The subway stop is much closer than the Snowcrest place. But the connecting bus ride takes forever. I must've annoyed the driver with my incessant "are we there yet?" Anyways, so I'm walking on Greenland, a very short walk from the bus route...soon as I saw a mean looking guard on Deepwood I knew right then this was a hopeless scenario. I liked the Snowcrest better bec it was so close to the main road you could see the buzz from the bus. Btw I don't really mean the guard was mean. I just say mean bec he's in the way of my chance at seeing Lauren. So, disappointed, I go past Deepwood but not before nonchalantly asking the guard, "What's going on here? Is there police stuff going on? (what a lame-o excuse!

) He smiles and says there's filming going on. Acting surprised, again nonchalantly I ask, "Oh, are they filming a commercial?" "No", he says, "it's a movie". At this point someone on the walkie-talkie calls for him. As soon as he responds to the call and turns his back I made a mad dash out of there. Sorry guys. I wish I could have more exciting report to tell you. It was a so-near-and-yet-so-far kind of thing.

The one good thing that came out of this, though, is I ventured out of my comfort zone. And how! I even surprised myself and quite proud of it. My cousin, on the other hand, was horrified. She knew I was doing this adventure thing alone for the first time. I couldn't grab any of my friends to share my insanity with, especially the one who was with me at Snowcrest. He's away on a business and pleasure trip (his timing sucks big time!). I was on the phone with my cousin the minute I stepped out of the subway station. I was like giving her a blow-by-blow account of what's happening, where I am... The things I'd do for Lauren.

But then again, in hindsight, I've made more humiliating stuff in my life. Boy, I think I'm getting bolder and bolder. Let's see where this new-found boldness gets me once I get to see Lauren again and ask for that coveted picture with her. The bus ride was wonderful though. I got to go sightseeing. Again, an accidental tourist. It's a great sight, I find out...tree-lined streets. It must be gorgeous there in the fall. I'm def going back to take pictures of the fall colours.

Aww too bad Ellevee

But thanks for your report anyway

Javalava86 · 08-11-2007, 09:40 AM

Thanks for trying!!

Thanks for the pics Ellevee. I also love the last one! She doesn't exactly get to wear the best clothing for this movie

l.a.thunder · 08-11-2007, 12:09 PM

Thanks for the report Ellevee. I love your reports, also when you didn´t meet Lauren. But I hope you´ll meet her soon and get your picture with her.

Well, let me know...give me a PM and you can have my cell number, no problem. I usually work weird hours and sometimes late but I don't mind picking you up at a subway station and away we go.

I have been meaning to go to Unionville sometime and take some pictures there, which is where they filmed the pilot of Gilmore Girls if you ever wanted to do an outing like that.

I wish they would work weekends too, that would be lovely for me. Granted, I spend alot of weekends up at the farm (with my horses) but can be pulled away if necessary for a filming.

One thing Lauren and I share in common, we both love riding!

I'm sorry it didn't work out at the Deepwood location but at least you're getting there!

I'll keep my ears peeled for more location shoots from the location manager I talk to...I found out about the Deepwood location because he was thinking of using that for something else but said it was being used for X amount of time and I asked what film. I actually thought it was the Edward Norton film....I didn't expect it would be Lauren's. But yes, we do have some really nice hideaway places around Scarborough that makes it quite pretty in the fall.

If you ever been to Scarborough Bluffs, it's really nice there too.

Thanks for the report Ellevee

I was in the neighbourhood of Deepwoods today and on a whim, I thought I would take a look. Although it is in Scarberia (a nickname for Scarborough (Siberia) because of its location at the furthest eastern reaches of Toronto. The filming location however is right on the border of North York which is where I am from although I am from the west end. I drove down Deepwoods a couple of times.

The neighbourhood is a typical suburb, middle-class - the subdivision was built in the late 50's or early 60's. I know this not because I have the faintest idea about architecture but because my mother owns a similar house. The houses are mostly bungalows with well manicured lawns and lots of mature trees, not a forest. There is one "monster house" that is by the looks of things still under construction, but I doubt that is the filming location. ( Monster house definition - I don't know if everyone calls these types of houses the same thing elsewhere but what they are here is - someone buys an existing house, knocks it down and builds a new house that is twice as high and twice as wide on the existing property. These houses make all the other houses in the neighbourhood look tiny.) I don't know what house they were filming at but there are a couple of houses that looked like they were under renovations. The street is a crescent it has 2 entrances/exits onto Greenland, if they are filming I don't know if they would block access of both entrances, unless they were filming the whole street, and what if you either lived on the street or were visiting someone who lived there.
