THE BRIDGE: Update

Just a quick update from Aaron about The Bridge.

Today (Aug 15, 2008) is officially the last day of shooting on the 2-hour pilot episode.
He has Saturday off.
Sunday is “2nd unit and pickup of dropped scenes”.

He’ll be staying in Toronto to attend the FanExpo con next weekend. Then he’s home to Vancouver for a few days an then off to Atlanta for DragonCon.

THE BRIDGE: On location

As we all know, Aaron is in Toronto right now filming the 2-hour pilot episode of THE BRIDGE.

I got home from work tonight to find the following email from him and had to share …

We’re shooting this show mostly outdoors & on location.

So fans can watch….. If they can find us.

:-D

LOL. He’s such a tease.

 

EDIT: A fan has already spotted him …

In front of me at the Toronto Whole Foods stood The Chief, Galen Tyrol – also known as Aaron Douglas. I reacted instantly, “You’re in Battlestar!” He replied, “Why, yes I am.” “You’re the Chief and you’re awesome,” I blurted out. Smooth, MP. “Thanks,” he calmly responded, no doubt thinking about the organic fare we has soon to procure. With one last ounce of annoying harassment I demanded, “Who is the fifth cylon?!?!?!!” With an air of loftiness he answered, “Oh, I can’t tell you that.” “You’re such a cylon,” I told him. He chuckled a bit, and then we both went our separate ways.

THE BRIDGE: Aaron cast as the lead in new tv show

It didn’t take long for someone to scoop up our very talented man and cast him in a new tv show :)

Aaron is going to be the lead on a new television series for CTV called THE BRIDGE. THE BRIDGE is a ‘cop show’ and Aaron’s character is called Frank Leo.
Aaron is flying out to Toronto on Monday to film the 2 hour pilot and won’t be back until August 20th. If the show gets picked up, he will need to move to Toronto (temporarily) for filming.

THE BRIDGE (WORKING TITLE)

This one hour dramatic cop series in the vein of The Wire and Rescue Me, is set in Toronto and exceeds the speed limit while following politics, law and gang enforcement. Set in a fictious police division, The Bridge spans two disparate worlds, one of affluence and one and one of abject poverty, a combination of high stakes theft and murder to muggings in a world where the victim’s rap sheets run longer than the perps. Produced by Barna-Alper Productions (Da Vinci’s Inquest, Blue Murder) 990 Productions and Jonsworth Productions.

Comment on this exciting news over on THE CHIEF’S DECK

 

UPDATE (August 1st): Below is some additional info on the THE BRIDGE, thanks to Lex and Pedda from Caprica City.

The Bridge follows fictional character Frank Leo (played by Vancouver-born Aaron Douglas) and his climb from street cop to union head challenging the command structure of the entire police force, making enemies along the way. The character is based on veteran insider and outspoken former Toronto police union head, Craig Bromell.
