Toronto, Ontario - Known as 'Hollywood North', Toronto is the third largest TV and film production centre in North America. Chicago, X-Men, Blues Brothers 2000, The Hurricane, Police Academy, The Skulls, Cocktail, are just some of the many major feature films that have been produced in the city. On any given day 18 to 40 feature films, made-for-TV movies and TV shows are in production around town. The busiest location site is The Distillery Historic District, originally the Gooderham & Worts Distillery. With 40 buildings spread over 13 acres, this was once the largest distillery in the British Empire. It ceased operation in 1990 after 135 years, and since then has served a location for more than 800 films and TV shows. This is also a great place for the public to visit. Many of the buildings in this 'pedestrian-only' complex have been converted to galleries, restaurants, and even a micro brewery.
