That’s a wrap: Production of Nicolas Cage movie in South Okanagan changing locations

OKANAGAN FALLS – The film crew shooting the movie The Humanity Bureau starring Nicolas Cage is wrapping up production at a location in Okanagan Falls.

Greyback Construction president Larry Kenyon says a production crew set up on the former Weyerhaeuser Mill property in Okanagan Falls earlier this week to film a sequence for the movie. His company is working to develop the property.

Along with Cage, the film stars Sarah Lind of cult film Wolfcop, child actor Jakob Davies from If I Stay and Canadian actor Hugh Dillon who’s known for his work on the TV show Flash Point, in film in Hard Core Logo and as lead singer of the Headstones, according to an Okanagan Film Commission media release.

The movie is a science fiction action film with the tagline “in the near future our government will decide who is expendable."

Kenyon says he believes production at the Okanagan Falls location has wrapped up or will wrap up today, Dec. 8. The production crew will be relocating to another part of the South Okanagan, with filming expected to take a few more weeks.

Cage has been spotted several times in the South Okanagan, including during a shopping trip to the Buy-Low Foods in Osoyoos.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
