Below we’ll highlight some of the Skyscraper filming locations, roundup the behind the scenes photos and share the trailer that was released following the Super Bowl last night.

Although it’s set in Hong Kong, Skyscraper filmed in Vancouver and area from August 15th to November 23rd, 2017 and it premieres on July 13th, 2018 in theatres. The movie was written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, whose other credits include Easy A, We’re the Millers and Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Skyscraper centres around an FBI Negotiator named Will Ford, played by Dwayne Johnson.

After an established career in the field, Will ends up severely wounded and loses part of his leg in the process. To make matters worse, he finds himself framed for murder in Hong Kong. His family is then kidnapped and trapped inside the tallest skyscraper in the world which is subsequently set ablaze. In a race against time, Will has to attempt to rescue his family and find out who cased the disaster so he can bring them to justice.

Skyscraper Behind the Scenes Pictures

Some behind the scenes photos shared by the cast and crew while filming Skyscraper in Vancouver.

The crew member on the ground holding the green screen panel is like “please don’t land on me, please don’t land on me”. Every film has a moment designed to take your breath away when you see the final product on screen. This is one of those moments. I only get one take. Go for it or I don’t. Soooooo.. #GoForIt #SkyscraperMovie @kimberleyfrench

Friday. 230am. Good people. Hard work. Lining up the shots for the rest of the night with my #SkyscraperMovie director, Rawson Thurber. Proud of this dude. Fresh out of USC Film School, he breaks into Hollywood with a hit movie that he wrote and directed, called, DODGEBALL. He follows that up with another hit movie, WE ARE THE MILLERS. He then follows that up with another hit movie, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE with me and my much bigger twin @kevinhart4real. Refusing to be pigeonholed as a “comedy director”, he goes away for six months and writes a script that is not only reflective of who he is as a man, husband and new father, but also reflective of the kinds of big tent pole movies that have always inspired him from STAR WARS to RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARC. The script becomes one of Hollywood’s hottest scripts of 2016 causing a huge bidding war (true story) between every studio. The studios who won that war were Legendary Studios and Universal Studios. The name of the script… SKYSCRAPER. This guy has the potential to go down as one of the best true writer/directors ever. Too bad he’s an asshole. Kidding, he’s family to me and literally one of the nicest humans I’ve ever known. Eh he’s still an asshole. #OnSet #RawsonThurber #SkyscraperMovie

Hangin around. Put in some good hard work, but a pleasure shooting what will become multiple posters around the world for #SkyscraperMovie. THANK YOU to everyone involved making this shoot “fit in” with my already incomprehensible aka nutty schedule. Grateful to have such a team of talented rockstars making it all happen. #UNIVERSALStudios #LegendaryStudios #SevenBucksProds #SkyscraperMovie @tmac24fleet

Battered. Day 42 of 64 shooting our action thriller #SkyscraperMovie. I prepped for an intense shoot daily based off the material, but this “battered down” mindset has served me in ways I never expected, professionally and especially personally. Universe has a helluva sense of humor that way. Grateful. Now I need a shot or three of my tequila.

Skyscraper (Feature)

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is in town for his latest action movie called Skyscraper. Dwayne plays a character named Will Ford. After a career with the FBI as a Hostage Rescue Team Lead, Will now assesses the security of skyscrapers for a living. Things take a turn for the worse when Will is framed for a fire in what was supposed to be the tallest and safest building in the world. With his family trapped inside the skyscraper, Will has to attempt to rescue them and find out who caused the disaster so he can bring them to justice.

The Rock will be joined by Neve Campbell (Scream, House of Cards), Pablo Schreiber (American Gods, Orange is the New Black), Chin Han (The Dark Knight, Marco Polo) and Noah Taylor (Preacher, Game of Thrones). The story was written by Rawson Marshall Thurber who is also directing the film.

Last week Dwayne Johnson tugged on the heartstrings of Vancouverites with a heartfelt video posted to his Instagram account. In the video The Rock says Vancouver is one of his “favourite cities in the world” and talks about his first pro football game which took place in the city while he was playing for the Calgary Stampeders CFL Team.

Sometimes the goal we've worked our ass off for years is never achieved. Then years later we look back and realize, it's the best thing that NEVER happened.

The Rock also shared a behind the scenes picture of himself alongside writer/director Rawson Marshall Thurber and cinematographer Robert Elswit on set of Skyscraper:

Signs for the movie were spotted at the Pinnacle Hotel in near the Shipyards in North Vancouver on Tuesday, and they will be spending some time at the Canada Post Building, a filming hot spot in downtown Vancouver which serves as a studio-like facility to many productions.

Skyscraper is scheduled to continue filming in Vancouver and British Columbia until November 17th and is slated to be released in theatres on July 13th, 2018.

Marwencol (aka Untitled Robert Zemeckis Project, The Women of Marwen) (Feature)

Production of Marwencol was originally expected to kick off this week, but according to the DGCBC, the start date was moved ahead to last Friday. The movie stars Steve Carell (Anchorman, The Office) as Mark Hogancamp, a man who lost his memory following a horrific attack. As he begins to recover, Mark turns to building a miniature village to help him cope and pass the time. The village is comprised of dolls whose identities he believes are real.

As the current working title suggests, Oscar winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis is directing the film from a script he wrote alongside Caroline Thompson. Robert is best known for writing the Back to the Future movie franchise as well as producing The Polar Express.

Here’s a roundup of the cast according to the film’s IMDb page:

Actor Role You may know them from Steve Carell Mark Hogancamp Anchorman, The Office, The 40-Year-Old Virgin Gwendoline Christie Game of Thrones, Star Wars: The Force Awakens Eiza González Caralala From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, Baby Driver, True Love Diane Kruger Deja Thoris Inglourious Basterds, The Bridge Leslie Mann Knocked Up, 17 Again, The 40-Year-Old Virgin Janelle Monáe You’ve probably heard of her from her music, but also Hidden Figures, Moonlight Stefanie von Pfetten Wendy Shooter, The Man in the High Castle, Cracked Neil Jackson Kurt Sleepy Hollow, Make It or Break It, Quantum of Solace Falk Hentschel Hauptsturmführer Ludwig Topf Legends of Tomorrow, Reckless, Knight and Day

Thanks to @chefbk11 for the tweet below of Lefeuvre Road in Abbotsford which was closed down for the movie near McTavish Road from Tuesday to today.
