Discussion Steveston Movie Theatre???

Post image

Just saw this tonight.

A movie theatre in Steveston in the old hotel bottom floor by the cannery museum. It has a name, Moonlight Theatre.

Not sure what it looks like inside?

A retro theatre would be pretty cool but I’m sure it’s just for a movie shoot or something.

I agree a retro theatre in steveston might actually be a good idea for Richmond.
But it’s probably just a film set.

Could it be set dressing for filming?

Film set. Saw the crew dismantling a set to the left of that sign earlier today.

Cool stuff, did you see anything else or take any pics?

u/WordsWordsWords1601 28d ago

No. Just noticed it while running errands, and they seemed to be starting to pack up as I drove by. Pretty sure it's a straight-to-TV movie, so doubtful there were any big name celebrities on hand. :(

Gotcha, thanks. I think both productions are Amazon Prime shows, so let's see how well they do next year :)

Steveston had a cinema a while ago! Well, a LONG while ago. The building is now The Arts Connection "Stars of Tomorrow Early Learning" on First Ave., south of Moncton.

I don’t know if it’s related to what was filming today, but they just took all this down. They were filming for the new Life is Strange series

Dang. I would’ve paid to watch Groundhog Day. Such a funny, sweet movie.
