First Official Image From Kick-Ass 2! | Superhero Hype
This is the first official photo, though lot of similar photos from the production shoot have already been online in the last few months.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Nice mask for the dog. .)

 

[Wes R]

It was the dog's idea so his buddies wouldn't recognize him and laugh at him. That soldier guy doesn't have much of a costume lol

 

[Michael Bergeron]

The VERY cheap version of Captain America! :lol

 

[Cookiee Monsta]

So I take it the story takes place in Toronto?!

You spotted that too huh!

 

[wuher da brewer]

The axe handle of justice... LOL!

It's always Toronto. Even if they tell you it's New York or Chicago... It's Toronto.

So what your saying is that studios/networks film in Canada, using Canadian cities & suburbs as stand ins for those found south of the border?! :confused Now thats a trip.

They've been doing that for years and years.

Definitely not, just a Multicam uniform with a Multicam cape, mask, leather belt with what looks like Mauser ammo pouches. Pretty simple to do and fairly cheap too if you get a set of Chinese made Multicam knockoffs, the only problem will be finding some Multicam fabric that will match the uniform to make the cape with.

It's generally cheaper to film in Canada than it is to in the US, less so now since the US dollar has weakened so much but I think that subsidies and incentives still make a difference.

 

[greylocke]

What is up with his mask? it looks like his forehead is swollen.

 

[Bigdaddy]

Where's the Night B***H? I need some reference shots for my wife's costume . I imagine they'll be changing those signs in post. :lol

 

[iMan]

Isn't that Jim Carrey? Oh man, I can't wait for this movie.

 

[Riceball]

Here's one.

 

[Bigdaddy]

Hey thanks Riceball! I had a similar shot of her, but this is big and shows some good detail on the mask and gauntlets, definitely do-able! :thumbsup I'm going to have to do some research on the goggles, but this is going to be a cool costume to make , she's going to be NB and Leeloo all in the same weekend :lol

Yep. Kept me employed for a good number of years. :thumbsup

Always fun to see familiar buildings in "New York". :lol

If it looks like Seattle it's Vancouver. Any Eastern metropolis is Toronto. Quite often Maritime films are Halifax or St. John's.

Some of the best in the biz live up here. Not to mention even with the dollar it's still cheaper to hire a Canadian crew and location than shoot on a backlot in California.

Most, if not all of SyFy's shows were/are shot up in Canada including all of the Stargates and I think Eureka was and Warehouse 13 might be too. X-Files eventually moved up there by the end IIRC and I suspect that Fringe was filmed in Canada too with just a small crew to film some location shots in Boston & surrounding areas.

Scareb is correct, this has been common practice for decades. One big city looks pretty much like any other big city, so production companies film wherever it costs less or is less problematic for them.

For example, the Showtime series Dexter takes place in Miami, Florida, but the vast majority of the show is filmed here in southern California. They'll "dress the set" if necessary (i.e., hang fake signs and such), edit in a quick "establishing shot" (i.e., footage actually filmed in Miami), and most people don't know the difference when they watch the show.

BTW, yes, the guy in the military fatigues in the photo Vivek posted is Jim Carrey. His character's name is "Colonel Stars and Stripes". :rolleyes
