B.C. film biz hopes for reel hot year

www.nsnews.com: VANCOUVER'S film crews are pinning their hopes this year on a 12-year-old demigod and man with adamantium claws. The two superheroes, the title characters in the upcoming Percy Jackson and Wolverine movie sequels, are among a host of famous faces the industry hopes to see on set here in 2012 - bringing with them thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions in revenue - but the outlook remains uncertain. "Looking ahead, we seem to be in a fairly good position at the beginning of the year," said Paul Klassen, a spokesman for the B.C. chapter of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, which represents many of the province's film workers. "I certainly expect this year to be better than last."
