As if to prove that movies aren't just filmed in Vancouver because it's cheap, this week various productions did location shoots at landmarks unique to the city.
Mark Wahlberg was shooting scenes at GM Place, headquarters for west coast hockey, and a plain old huge stadium.
Pierce Brosnan shot at the Hotel Europe, which isn't actually a hotel anymore but is still considered architecturally important, as an early and prime example of a flatiron building. Finally, Vancouver is known for its beaches, so the
Jessica Alba and
Dane Cook movie Good Luck Chuck took advantage of that with a shoot at one of Stanley Park's more historical beaches.
Remember to zoom in, out, and around on the map - with so much happening in one neighborhood, it's easy to miss a map point.

We have exciting same-day news: today
Good Luck Chuck will be filming at the Coal Harbour Community Center today, so those who want to head over have a good shot at a
Dane Cook or
Jessica Alba sighting. Bring your cameras, but remember, don't make her mad! She bites.
Once again, the movie and celebrity action is concentrated in the West End, which we are sure is a lovely place, but c'mon, Vancouverites - let us know about other awesome neighborhoods in your fair city!
David Duchovny arrived early in Vancouver to check out the scene before he starts work on
Things We Lost in the Fire, while
Pierce Brosnan just keeps on charming the locals. He's even doing the men of Vancouver a favor by introducing his reportedly comely assistant to all and sundry. Thanks, Pierce!
