Georgia Viaduct is crucial to Deadpool, says executive producer Aditya Sood
Executive producer is grateful city is being so accommodating
Deadpool executive producer Aditya Sood says the Georgia Viaduct is the best location in Vancouver to film a complicated highway crash scene and is grateful the city is being so accommodating.
"Thank you very much for being gracious enough to let us to shoot here. Hopefully we'll give you an exciting movie and also an exciting new way to get to work," Sood told CBC Vancouver host Andrew Chang on Tuesday.
The viaduct will be closed periodically over the next two weeks while the scene is being shot, which means downtown drivers have to find alternate routes out of the city.

Movie crews started setting up the make-believe wreckage on the weekend — complete with a Deadpool stunt double doing flips over a smouldering black SUV. Sood wouldn't confirm or deny that it's the same scene featured in Deadpool test footage leaked on YouTube last year.
"I can tell you one thing, it is not the exact scene that you might have seen," he said.
