    Leonardo DiCaprio will produce a new movie being filmed in Alberta

    Wild Rose Country is no stranger to major productions, but that should come as no surprise.

     

    From the majestic mountains and the rugged badlands to bustling cities, Alberta is a stunning province that keeps industry titans coming back and it won’t be long until we see it on screens big and small once again.

     

    Not only are highly anticipated projects like The Abandons (Gillian Anderson, Lena Headey) and Die, My Love (Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson) being filmed on the Prairies, Howl, a film produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jane Goodall will also be shot in the area.

     

    Described as being “set against the backdrop of a harsh winter,” the movie follows Harry, a dog left home alone during a fatal accident involving his family.

     

    “Harry goes through a rollercoaster survival ride that brings him into contact with a wolf,” explains the Film and Television Industry Alliance (FTIA)

     

    “The pair must overcome their mutual fear and suspicion, and ultimately they develop a close bond.”

     

    According to FTIA, production will take place in Calgary between October 1st, 2024 and February 28th, 2025 – so keep an eye out for the crew, but be respectful and stay out of their way while they’re in the area.

     

    Leonardo DiCaprio may not roll into Alberta while on duty as producer, but this is still an exciting time!

    Would also fit very nicely to our desire to see him in a none-blockbuster/smaller movie.

    Actor and VFX maestro Van Ling about his TITANIC experience.

    His part based on real life passenger Fang Lang (you even see his rescue in the extended cut). Didn't know he also was the assistent of James Cameron for years. Interesting what you can learn about this movie after so many years 😄

    Fang Lang appears as a possible cameo in Titanic (1997), portrayed by Van Ling. He appears in some third-class scenes. During the sinking, Fang Lang, Jack, Rose, Fabrizio, Tommy and some third-class passengers broke one of the gates so they could go to the upper deck. He still remains on the ship until the end, but survived because he climbed onto a door and waited until 5th Officer Lowe pulled him into Lifeboat 14. (Titanic Wiki | Fandom)

     

    Lang was one of the only eight Chinese passengers aboard the Titanic. Out of the eight, six survived, five boarding lifeboats, and Lang being rescued from the water when Lowe went back to look for survivors. Since all were third class and likely had limited English, the odds were already stacked against them. However, not knowing English combined with their skills as sailors might have actually given them the advantage, as they were quick to evacuate when the stewards were telling third class to stay in their rooms. 

     

    After Lang was rescued from the freezing cold water (which was featured in one of the deleted scenes from the movie), he tirelessly rowed till they were picked up by the Carpathia. He was praised for his effort and bravery that night. Unfortunately, even after everything, the six arrived in the US only to be deported due to the Chinese Exclusion Act, which prohibited Chinese people from working in the country. However, Lang was eventually able to return to the US.

     

    They were also disgraced in their own country for surviving when so many had died. Part of this may have been the fault of J. Bruce Ismay, who ended up in a lifeboat with four of these men. In an attempt to save his reputation of being labelled a coward, he said these men had snuck in and were hiding inbetween the seats. Yet, records show that there was a guard for that boat, preventing people from sneaking in, and squatting in that fashion was actually common practice for Chinese workers. They likely were allowed free access to that boat.

     

    Documentary filmmaker Arthur Jones created the film “The Six” [released in 2020], finally clearing up any misconceptions about the surviving Chinese passengers, whose names had been sullied for over a century. (Nuala Gathercole Lam- Sixth Tone)

    Thanks for sharing dear, it's good to know their names, they should be remembered.

     

    And that's a shame, scars of the past.
