The film's working title is Nautilus. There was a casting call last month for extras. The production recently notified residents on Old Victoria Road that filming is scheduled to start soon.
Joan Miller, the North Island film commissioner, said that Vancouver Island will make up the first shots on the film. Crews will stay in Nanaimo hotels for three days while they film scenes downtown and in the Ladysmith area before going to Shawnigan Lake.
The film will star Aaron Johnson, Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Olsen and Juliette Binoche. It will be released on May 16, 2014.
