TONIGHT: Images of ONCE UPON A TIME 2×21 Second Star to the Right

May 5, 2013 Once Upon a Time

Second star to the right is a direction to Neverland, where Once Upon a Time is headed tonight. When Rumplestiltskin balks at giving up his powers in Fairytale Land and lets his son travel alone through a portal, young Baelfire (Dylan Schmid) finds himself in 19th century London where he is befriended by young Wendy Darling (Freya Tingley) and introduced to Neverland. How will Once Upon a Time modernize the iconic story of Peter Pan?

Meanwhile in present-day, grownup Baelfire/Neal (Michael Raymond-James) has a long overdue talk with his lost love Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrsion), who surely reminds him of Wendy Darling.

Once Upon a Time’s penultimate episode of season two airs tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC in the U.S. and 7 p.m. on CTV in Canada.

SHOOT: Jennifer Morrison & Michael Raymond-James on Third Beach in Stanley Park for ONCE UPON A TIME 2×21 -Updated

March 16, 2013 Once Upon a Time

Updated May 5, 2013 – Emma and Neal/Baelfire were checking whether devious Tamara (Sonequa Martin Green) was out running as she claimed instead of holding Regina captive, as Emma suspected. I didn’t notice that I’d photographed her in a lycra hoodie below.

This is Michael Raymond-James’s “big scene on a rainy beach” with Jennifer Morrison yesterday on Third Beach in Stanley Park. Sorry Swanfire fans. This doesn’t look particular romantic It seems Emma Swan and her baby daddy Baelfire have some issues to work out.

Once Upon a Time spent Friday shooting scenes on the forest trails above Third Beach with horses on set but took time out to film the beach scene around “magic hour”. At least what passes for the last hour of sunlight on a rainy day. The scene took less than half-an-hour to shoot with production assistants stopping joggers and walkers at both ends of the seawall during filming.

Update: Didn’t realize that I’d photographed Tamara (Sonequa Martin Green) jogging in her hoodie below.

SHOOT: Stephen Amell & Katie Cassidy Do ARROW Flashbacks in Coal Harbour for 1×21 – Updated

March 15, 2013 Arrow

Why are Oliver Queen & Laurel Lance kissing? It’s flashback time in the [third-to-last} episode of Arrow’s hit first season. I hope this isn’t Laurel (Katie Cassidy) saying goodbye to her Ollie (Stephen Amell) before he heads off on the Queen’s Gambit with his Dad and Laurel’s sister. Was younger Oliver really such a cad?

Update: Yes he was. Oliver makes a call to Laurel’s sister Sarah when he spots Laurel – “Hey Sarah. You here? You might want to circle around the block a few times. Your sister just showed up.”

CTV’s Vancouver Crime Drama Hit MOTIVE Wraps Filming of Its First Season

February 26, 2013 Motive

Motive Cast — Brendan Penny, Lauren Holly, Louis Ferreira, Kristin Lehman and Roger Cross — CTV promo image

The murder is just the beginning. There’s always a motive and Vancouver homicide detective Angie Flynn (Kristin Lehman) will find it. Filming wrapped last Friday on Motive’s thirteen-episode first season.

Motive debuted in a prime but delayed post-Super Bowl slot on CTV to 1.23 million Canadians, the culmination of an unprecedented publicity campaign by CTV for a Canadian show. Normally, only CTV’s American simulcast shows get this scale of rollout. And in a sweet twist, American network ABC has picked up the Vancouver crime drama for broadcast this summer.

Ratings held steady after Motive’s move to its regular 9 p.m. on Sundays slot, dipping for the second episode but rising back over one million for the third episode, to give Canada’s #1 new drama a series-to-date average of 1.06 million viewers.

Instead of a regular whodunit that focuses on who did the crime, Motive is a whydunit that focuses on why the crime was committed in the first place. The Killer and The Victim are revealed to the audience at the top of the show and we follow detectives Angie Flynn (Kristin Lehman) and Oscar Vega (Louis Ferreria) as they uncover the reasons behind the murder.
