SHOOT: Andie MacDowell Films Teaser for CEDAR COVE in North Vancouver’s Deep Cove

Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings and a Funeral & former super model) has a lock on the fifty-something category in People magazine’s most-beautiful-by-age-group. Just look at her early this week on the government dock in North Vancouver’s Deep Cove, shooting a teaser for the upcoming Hallmark Channel series. Cedar Cove is based on Debbie Macomber’s best-selling books about the life of Judge Olivia Lockhart in and out of the courtroom. MacDowell, who plays Lockart, stared out at Indian Arm from the dock and then turned to greet Dylan Neal, who plays her friend and love interest, Cedar Cove Chronicle editor Jack Griffith. In between takes, she gave the crew a few supermodel poses.

Other scenes of MacDowell for the teaser were shot on Gallant Street, the south end of the beach, the north side of the park and at the Deep Cove Yacht Club. I wanted to stay to see all of them on such a perfect day but headed off to see another production  in Steveston.

SHOOT: Misha Collins & Curtis Armstrong Film SUPERNATURAL 8×22 in Deep Cove, North Vancouver – Updated

Update: The Clip Show, airing May 8th. Metatron asks Castiel’s advice about the problems in Heaven.

Supernatural spent the day filming in beautiful Deep Cove in North Vancouver on Wednesday. The day started with a patio scene at the Arms Reach Bistro of a conversation between two actors. I didn’t get there in time to see who was on set but the afternoon scene of two actors walking down Panaroma Drive was of Castiel (Misha Collins), carrying groceries and beer, with [Curtis Armstrong (Booger from Revenge of the Nerds) as the reclusive angel Metatron, the scribe of God.] There was also an interior scene in the Panorama Market, maybe of Cas buying what looked like toilet paper. Later that night, Supernatural returned to the patio of the Arms Reach Bistro for a scene of two actors watching the waitress close down the restaurant while “an actor with a knife” stood on the cul de sac opposite (according to the film notice). I wish I could have stayed for that. Fans have some ideas about who the actor with a knife might be but we’ll have to wait and see.
