It is getting closer to the release of the movie “Gunless”, starring Canada’s own Paul Gross as an American gunfighter who finds himself in the Canadian frontier, you guessed it… gunless! What makes this exciting is that it was filmed just outside the small border town of Osoyoos where I live. The movie has the trailer out on the website: http://www.gunless.ca/ and it looks like an amusing tale of the old west with a definite Canadian twist.
While the movie was being filmed early 2009, the set was closed so I was not able to get any shots of the “stars” but I did get some of the crew who built the very unique buildings on the hot dusty landscape outside town. It was nice to see the locals getting work on this special project.

Many of the items used on the movie set have been donated to the Osoyoos museum. Maybe this is the start of a great new industry for our town! Let’s go to the movies on April 30!
