Feature Film 'Gay Dude' now filming in Maple Ridge

Lions Gate Films, well known for so many theatrical releases including the now playing Conan the Barbarian remake and the upcoming 'tween' blockbuster The Hunger Games is filiming their new comedy Gay Dude in the Albion real estate neighbourhood of Maple Ridge.

Gay Dude stars some very well known actors including the star of TV sitcom Parks & Recreation actor Nick Offerman playing Parks and Recreation Director Ron Swanson.  Dakota Johnson, daughter of Don Johnson & Mellanie Griffith, who had a role in The Social Network, Dreama Walker who played Clint Eastwood's grand daughter in Grand Torino and my favourite Nicholas Braun who is known for Sky High & Princess Protection Program.

The film was being shot on the street and in a home in Thornhill Heights here in Albion, the shooting here featured Nick Braun both days and we got to see a lot of him and Dakota.  Nick Offerman was also spotted yesterday.  Braun was a real down to earth guy, he was shooting basketball with the local kids on our hoop and took lots of time to introduce himself to all the neighbours, shake hands and sign autographs for all the kids.

This highschool comedy is about two guys who make a pact to lose their virginity before prom but find their friendship tested when one of them comes out of the closest.
