‘Deadpool’ shoot to close Vancouver bridge for sword/gunfights and car chase scenes

Despite having a budget smaller than catering on most X-Men movies, as Ryan Reynolds joked very recently, Deadpool will soon be closing a major highway in Vancouver, Canada, where filming is primarily taking place. According to a filming notice given to locals, the Fox/Marvel production will be restricting the use of the Georgia Street Viaduct from Sunday, April 5, to Thursday, April 16. “The scene involves our hero in a car chase, with stunt fight action on the bridge deck,” notes the letter. Also, due to the use of theatrical smoke, lights to simulate a fire, exposed guns and swords, as well as simulated gunfire, the Vancouver Police Department will be on duty during the shoot.
