Filming to begin on HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’ in Nanaimo
NANAIMO — Nature has all but reclaimed a key area of the city’s downtown.
Set dressing crews working on filming scenes for the HBO series ‘The Last of Us’ have transformed a majority of Commercial St. in downtown Nanaimo into a post-apocalyptic version of Seattle ahead of filming on Monday, May 13 and Tuesday, May 14.
Traffic control crews will be in position beginning around 2 a.m. on Monday, while film crews begin arriving at 5 a.m.
Cameras are expected to begin rolling at 7 a.m. on the presently closed-off Commercial St. and Skinner St., however it’s unclear exactly what will be shot or which on-screen talent will be in Nanaimo.
