Scenec from Wishmaster 3
  The climax of the high speed car chase in Wishmaster 3 (2001)

 

Within the last few years the University of Manitoba has seen car chases, weddings, medical mysteries, and family dramas. All of it has been caught on film as the University of Manitoba enjoys its share of attention in Hollywood North.

We've been used as a location for commercial television advertisements, promotional and educational videos as well as movies of the week and big screen features. Many of our historic buildings attract the film industry since they can be set into different time periods and locales.

Randall Kinley of the Office of the Vice President (Administration), the person responsible for negotiating with the film industry, says that the University enjoys having a role, even if it's not always credited. As Randall jokingly says, "Up until recently we had an Engineering building they could have imploded for us - but I had no takers."
