There’s a lot of action on both the movie and TV series fronts.
And by action, we really mean action.
There’s a wrestling movie that’s bringing several WWE stars to Vancouver, and a superpowered woman is back in town to pack a punch once again.
While those get going, a sci-fi thriller, which features a body-switching lead character, calls it a wrap.
And things are going to get romantic on a medical drama series that’s getting back on set.
So here’s a quick look at what’s going on in Vancouver’s screen scene at the moment.
