Canmore and Hollywood
With it's rugged mountains and spectacular scenery Canmore, Alberta has provided the perfect location for production of many Hollywood movies. Lee Marvin, Anthony Hopkins and Burt Reynolds are just a few of the big name actors who have worked in Canmore.
Below are links to some of the more well known Hollywood productions filmed in or around the Canmore area.
Wild America (1997)
A dramatization of the Stouffer brothers' first forays into the world of nature cinematography. In 1967, three brothers set off on a journey to capture the images of wild animals on film. What follows is an adventure fraught with perils: alligators, moose, bats, bears, and--oh yes--the United States Air Force. Great family fare with little insight into the vaunted Stouffer love for animals.
