Obviously not a scifi fan. So much filmed there most significantly various stargates.
The Canadian film industry is so huge that a great majority of 'Hollywood' films have at least part of the movie shot in Canada. Night at the Museum (all of them) was a big one that very few people realize was shot in Canada. I Robot, also parts of it shot here. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Chronicles of Riddick (all of them) was shot in Canada. The list goes on and on and on. The reason why so few Canadians recognize Canadian cities and settings in the American movies is that the sets are aways 'Americanized' - American flags, American money, American license plates, American road signs, American brands, American store branding, American iconography. Even if you knew it was shot in Canada, you would hardly recognize it as Canadian. The sets are purposely designed to look American. Even when it is supposed to be a Canadian city in the movie.
Pitch Black was shot in Australia... I was at a bar in Coober Pedy (the only bar in town, I think) stepped out for a smoke and there's the spaceship from Pitch Black just sitting in the parking lot LOL.
Pitch Black was indeed shot mostly in Australia. It was the next two that were shot in Canada. I forgot that Pitch Black was part of the Chronicles of Riddick franchise, it had so little in common with them except Vin D. Almost nothing in the story line followed through the next two, it was a stand-alone movie. I should have said 'both of them' instead of 'all of them'. Maybe the next one will be filmed in Canada as well.
