TMI Movie News: The Movie Set vs Finding Filming Locations



Set visits vs Location visits: Today I wanted to take a moment an answer a few questions I keep getting about visiting the movie set, vs finding filming locations. Hopefully this post will help explain the difference between visiting the movie set and finding the onsite locations, my not being able to discuss my set visit vs those who are able to post pictures from the filming locations they visit.

I have been getting a lot of great questions lately about the movie set, filming locations, and how to find out where they are filming. Among those question I've seen a lot of questions asking if I can help fans out and tell them where the movie set is and where filming is going on each day. This sometimes leads to frustration from the fan asking questions, because I don't tell them anything other than, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you" or "I would recommend asking one of the fans who's already been on site". I think there's some confusion over set visits vs location visits. I'll do my best to answer those questions here, and explain the difference between the set visit vs location visit, and why fans don't always get the answer they're hoping for from the fansites. 

The movie set itself is closed, and is it not one anyone has been on unless they've been personally invited to be on set. You can not easily find the set, nor can you just walk on set. For those who have been invited on set, NO PICTURES are allowed, which is why you didn't see myself or any of the other fans sites posting or tweeting during our time on set. You can read my brief re-cap from my on set visit here from this weekend (I'm currently embargoed and can't talk about my set visit. I can't wait for it to be lifted so I can tell you guys all about it). Like with many movies, a lot of what is filmed is done on set, as well as on location around the city. In this case the location is various places around Toronto.


Location wise, all the pictures you've seen posted from the "set" are not from the set, set. They are from fans who have found the on site locations of were the movie is being shot. I mean it is the set, but not the set, set where a few of us TMI fansites were invited to go on this past weekend. Confused yet? The locations fans are finding and posting pictures of are from the places around Toronto that are outside of the actual movie closed set location. What's being posted as set visits are really location visits. The pictures are ones from fans who have been lucky enough to find out where TMI is being filmed around Toronto. Just from my visit last weekend, I'm in awe anyone can find locations. That city is HUGE and of course extremely beautiful. I can see why there are so many movies being filmed there. 

Neither the set nor the filming locations are publicly posted and unless you know someone who's already been to those sites, know someone involved with where the movie is being filmed at, or have been one of the few fans who's gone to the other location sites, it's incredibly hard to find any of the places. I wish I could be more of a help to those wanting to find the areas to watch filming, but those who know where they are at have been asked not to mention it publicly, as in post about it, tweet it etc. I love all the excitement that's surrounding the TMI movie! I think it's amazing that so many fans want to come out and watch them film, see the cast and tell the cast how amazing they are. 

I hope this has answered some of your questions and helped explain why when asked on twitter, DMs and emails where the set is the answers is always I can't say or I don't know (there are times I really don't know where it's at). YOU GUYS are amazing! I know your support for the movie and Cassie's world has not gone unnoticed! TMI Fans Rock!
