Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Movie News.

Transformers: Rise of the Beast Movie News.The carnival was constructed from scratch – with functioning rides – on ground at the Fort York - The Ultimate Transformers Fansite There is no such festival (what’s the betting there now will be?).

Lessons learned, there’s a lump-in-the-throat moment as Billy and his siblings join forces to see off Sivana and his pesky Sins at ‘Chilladelphia’, the winter funfair. The airborne battle between Billy and Sivana continues into the Woodbine Mall, 500 Rexdale Boulevard in Rexdale, which is about ten miles to the northwest, where the terrified Billy reverts to his younger self and disappears into the crowd.īack in 1990, when this was the humble Woodbine Centre, it became the ‘New York’ shopping mall in Andrew Bergman’s mob comedy The Freshman, with Matthew Broderick and Marlon Brando (gamely sending up his Don Corleone character), which was also mostly filmed in Toronto. The display of heroics attracts the attention of Sivana who realises he needs to destroy this threat to his power. The curved glass frontage being passed off as the ‘Natural History Museum’ is the huge office block at 231 Fort York Boulevard. The roadway is Gardiner Expressway alongside Fort York Boulevard, just to the south of Fort York National Historic Site, west of downtown Toronto.

The gigantic, decommissioned electricity generating station has recently been used mainly as a location for TV shows and feature films, including Pacific Rim, the 2014 remake of Robocop, Red, and Resident Evil: Retribution. The deserted red-brick factory, where Freddy scrupulously records the results of Billy’s experiments, is the Hearn Generating Station, 440 Unwin Avenue in the Port Lands industrial area, southeast of downtown Toronto. Perplexed, Superhero Billy and Freddy sit atop the ‘ Rocky’ steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art looking down Benjamin Franklin Parkway toward Logan Square, wondering what their next move should be.įortunately, Billy discovers by chance that the word ‘Shazam’, which turned him into a hero, also returns him to his former state.Ī major priority is to determine precisely what superpowers Billy has acquired. It's around an hour on the 16 GO bus from Toronto Union Station. The grocery store, where Billy discovers he’s bullet-proof, and more importantly that beer tastes like vomit, is Busy Bee Food Mart, 524 Barton Street East, Hamilton, about 40 miles southwest of Toronto on the western tip of Lake Ontario. One of the ‘superpowers’ they’re keen to exploit is that of an average adult to buy beer without ID. Shazam location: Billy and Freddy discover beer tastes like vomit: Busy Bee Food Mart, Barton Street East, Hamilton, Ontario Other movies shot at Lower Bay include Suicide Squad, Guillermo Del Toro's Mimic, Johnny Mnemonic with Keanu Reeves, The Recruit, Bulletproof Monk and the 2012 remake of Total Recall. In fact, the TTC once had an elaborate pre-built set for converting it to a 'New York' station but this was torn down due to safety concerns. The station has been modified several times to make it look like a typical North American subway station. The subway interior is the currently disused Lower Bay Station.īelow the main platform of Toronto's Bay Station is an abandoned platform, Lower Bay, and the tracks leading to it, which are now used to allow filming in the subway without disrupting public service. The subway train safely returns him to ‘30th Street Station’ – though no longer as a boy. The magic word (which I obviously cannot reveal) turns Billy into a rather uncomfortable caped hero ( Zachary Levi) with mysterious but as yet undetermined powers. Leaping onto a train, an unorthodox journey takes Billy to the palace of an ancient wizard ( Djimon Hounsou) (the Toronto subway is apt to do that at times) who, desperate for help, offers Billy his powers to combat the Seven Deadly Sins which have been released into the world by the resentful Thaddeus Sivana ( Mark Strong). Shazam location: Billy gets chased into the 'Market-Frankford' line: Greenwood Station, East Torontoĭefending his new brother Freddy ( Jack Dylan Grazer), Billy gets chased into what appears to be the ‘Market-Frankford’ line of the Philadelphia SEPTA metro system, but which is Greenwood Station, a block east of the school on Strathmore Boulevard at Linnsmore Crescent.
