Amazon Prime series The Man in the High Castle is an alternate history of what America would be like if Japan and Germany won WWII.
Based on Philip K. Dick’s award-winning novel and produced by Ridley Scott and Frank Spotnitz (The X-Files), the 10-episode series imagines an alternate reality where different victors of the war divide the United States into three regions — with Japanese forces controlling the west coast, a neutral zone in the middle and the German forces controlling the east coast.
Production set up over the weekend and is filming for three days (June 1st – 3rd) with 300 background performers on the Main Mall at the University of British Columbia.

This afternoon’s scene: anti-facist Frank Frink (Rupert Evans) looks furtive on his way into a Japanese imperial event in San Francisco, circa 1962.
Uh-oh. Frink accidentally bumps into a senior Japanese officer and bows in apology.
But he makes it through. Who’s the target?
Some American Nazis on the grandstand, too.

This group doesn’t look anti-facist.
Nor do these Americans (Vancouver backgrounders in period costume) in the crowd.
While The Man in the High Castle had 300 backgrounder performers in period attire at UBC on Monday and Tuesday, they only used groups of 50 at a time.
