January 29, 2009 - Wolverine / UBC set photos
Scooped on Thursday, January 29, 2009

This past weekend exterior filming for Wolverine took place at the Buchanan Tower building on the grounds of the University of British Columbia. Chainlink fencing, barricades, a guard tower and barbed wire were used to transform the grounds into a place that appears to look like a prison or secure guard facility. The production filmed at night a variety of action scenes involving extras dressed as soldiers firing off guns and on a few occasions explosions were set off.
Naturally this attracted the attention of passersby. Some were armed with cameras while others shot their own short video clips. Five of these individuals have posted the fruits of their filming to Flickr: user Sam Dauch has photos and a video showing Hugh Jackman's stunt double standing on set, freinhar has six photos of the set lit up, wagnerthomas has four shots, tyfn has four photos including one great one of a large orange fireball climbing into the night sky, and Zeshiku has 8 photos of the set as it looked during the day.
Word about what this location was used for and the context of these scenes in relation to the movie's storyline has yet to emerge.
