LA PRESSE
Publié le 20 août 2011
Le tourisme de congrès à Montréal a connu un bond spectaculaire depuis la fin de la récession, mais l'incertitude économique risque de se faire ressentir pour plusieurs années pour les entreprises qui oeuvrent dans ce lucratif créneau.
Le nombre de congrès a explosé de 213 à 314 de 2009 à 2010, selon les données de la Ville de Montréal (voir tableau). Ces événements ont généré des retombées de 424 millions de dollars l'an dernier, une hausse de 26 % par rapport à l'année précédente.
Grâce à cette hausse, le nombre de congrès se rapproche du niveau atteint avant la récession. Un sommet de 317 congrès ont été tenus en 2008. Le Palais des congrès et Tourisme Montréal s'attendent à une meilleure année encore en 2011.
«?On croit que l'économie, tant américaine qu'internationale, a gagné en confiance face à la reprise, constate Chrystine Loriaux, directrice du marketing au Palais des congrès de Montréal. La crise économique était derrière nous depuis un an.?»
Repli en vue
Reste que l'embellie observée depuis deux ans sera de courte durée. Les congrès sont planifiés plusieurs années à l'avance et bien des organisations ont retardé ou annulé leurs rassemblements depuis le début de la récession. Et la crainte d'une nouvelle récession force les entreprises à y penser par deux fois avant de dépêcher des employés aux quatre coins du monde pour assister à des congrès.
Tourisme Montréal s'attend d'ailleurs à un recul du tourisme de congrès en 2012, un repli qui devrait durer jusqu'en 2014.
«?Les Américains sont en période d'incertitude économique et c'est très difficile, cette année, affirme le président de l'organisme, Charles Lapointe. Les Américains hésitent beaucoup avant de réserver pour leurs congrès à l'extérieur des États-Unis.?»
La métropole a tout intérêt à attirer les congressistes pour plusieurs raisons. En outre, ces rassemblements ont généralement lieu hors de la haute saison touristique, permettant aux hôtels et aux restaurants de maintenir leur achalandage dans les périodes creuses.
Mais surtout, les touristes d'affaires dépensent en moyenne 295 $ par jour pour se loger, se nourrir et se divertir. C'est deux fois plus que les touristes d'agrément, qui dépensent en moyenne 145 $ par jour.
La situation inquiète les hôteliers, même ceux dont les visiteurs de plaisance constituent la principale clientèle. Le Groupe Antonopoulos, qui exploite cinq hôtels et cinq restaurants dans le Vieux-Montréal, est du nombre. Si le nombre de congressistes diminue, les hôtels qui ont l'habitude de les héberger lui livreront une concurrence plus féroce pour attirer les autres visiteurs.
«?C'est quelque chose qui nous alarme un peu, confie Dimitri Antonopoulos, vice-président marketing du Groupe. Il va falloir qu'on fasse des efforts supplémentaires pour combler cette lacune.?»

Dans ces conditions, les hôtels redeviennent un placement intéressant pour les investisseurs. Le Groupe Canvar a récemment mis en chantier un immeuble de 40 étages dans lequel on trouvera des appartements et un Marriott Courtyard. Ce promoteur a aussi réalisé le 400, Sherbrooke Ouest, un immeuble locatif haut de gamme qui héberge le Hilton Garden Inn.
« Nous ne créons pas de nouvelles chambres, précise le directeur du projet au Groupe Canvar, Marc Varadi. Nous ne faisons que combler un manque. »
Trois hôtels, dont le Marriott Courtyard, avaient en effet été achetés par l'Université McGill pour les convertir en résidences. Selon les observateurs, il y a peu de chances qu'un nouvel hôtel vienne se greffer aux projets en cours.
« Aujourd'hui, essayer de construire un immeuble qui n'héberge qu'un hôtel, c'est difficile à rentabiliser, affirme Alam Pirani. Je n'anticipe pas l'ajout de beaucoup de chambres sur le marché. »

Are you talking about shutting down Ogilvy's ?
I thought it did pretty good business, and unless I was dreaming, I seem to remember reading that they planned to open other branches elsewhere.
And besides, Sherbooke is a prestigious address, right next to the Ritz, Tiffany's, Bolud.....

Montreal Concert Hall, Montreal, Canada Friday 19 Aug 2011
Montreal Concert Hall to soon open
All images Diamond and Schmitt
Jack Diamond on the making of a world-class concert hall
From the time he won the competition to design the new concert hall for the OSM, architect Jack Diamond knew exactly what the building needed to be. A good concert hall for an esteemed company that has long endured performing in a place with less than ideal acoustics, a good urban building that is highly legible and has good public access, and an architectural landmark.
“Located on the Place des Arts, the pre-eminent central square of cultural activity in the Quartier des Spectacles in downtown Montreal where it will join four other cultural buildings, the prevailing attitude in the 1970s when these buildings were built was to put them on podiums, said Diamond, “as this was consistent with the notion of “culture on a pedestal”. But “times have changed”, said Diamond, and in designing this building, Diamond chose instead to engage the concert hall with the city and to make it more accessible. As a result, “the building has the dual characteristic of being both on a podium and on the Place des Arts (the street)” where it enjoys good public visibility and excellent access to public transportation.
Beyond these characteristics, Diamond made a grand urban gesture in siting the building at the terminus of the cultural complex where it closes off the street (much in the same way that Garnier’s Paris Opera House and the Arch de Triumph do) making it ever more prominent within the complex and the larger cityscape. Building on this prime location, Diamond made the concert hall highly transparent with floor to ceiling glass, thus creating a place where one can see and be seen while also imparting a sense of dynamism and excitement to the building. But first and foremost the OSM was designed to be a world class concert hall with state of the art acoustics provided by Artec. While the emphasis is to be big on sound, the hall itself is designed to have an intimate feel, with the space from the stage to the last row of seats being just 75 feet.
In terms of the design of concert hall itself, which seats 1,900, “its DNA is that of a typical shoebox concert hall with a contemporary take”, said Diamond. “The way it differs from the others is that we get the high, middle and low ranges by shaping the walls in series of scallops…in the middle by inserts that run horizontally… and in the high frequency by the use of horizontal wood panels, which vary in texture from a sandpaper like finish to very smooth.
Diamond is hoping the concert hall will rise to the level of the really great halls, which “you can count on two hands”, he said. “The 19th century standard bearer is Munich and the 20th century is Kleinburg”. The building is faced with a honey colour Quebec beech that glows a warm gold. The $259m (CAN) building is slated to open on September 7, 2011.

It looks to me that they expect to preserve the building.
What’s more, the SHDM is now embroiled in legal talks with Blachford over the cost of cleaning up the building, which is contaminated.“Right now the lawyers are talking and we’re hoping to settle this out of court,” Bond said.
But some commercial brokers say the SHDM lucked out in waiting.

Les Grand Ballets Canadiens, l’Ecole de dance contemporaine and Tangente will move to a new headquarters
By VICTOR SWOBODA, GAZETTE DANCE CRITIC August 19, 2011 1:22 PM
Montreal’s dance landscape saw a major change on Friday with the announcement that Les Grands Ballets Canadiens and two other well-established dance organizations will move into new downtown headquarters opposite Place des Arts in 2014. The move was a decade in planning and long anticipated, but it was not until the provincial and federal governments announced their support at a news conference that the project was publicly confirmed.
A new five-storey building covering five thousand square metres will house four studios, administrative and communal spaces, costume and storage areas, cafeteria and other dedicated spaces of LGBC, Canada’s second-largest ballet company. For the past 31 years, LGBC has worked out of a reconstructed garage building on St. Denis Street, a cramped, inadequate space for a company that has bolstered its local and international profile in the past decade under the artistic directorship of Gradimir Pankov.
The site will realize another of Pankov’s goals by including four studios for a major new ballet school, the Academy of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal. It will train young people for professional careers with LGBC and other companies, and also offer courses for the general public.
LGBC has so far raised $13 million in a $19 million private and public fundraising effort to cover its $35.7 million moving cost. At the news conference, Quebec’s minister of culture, Christine St. Pierre, and minister of finance, Raymond Bachand, announced government support of $10.5 million. The federal government has offered $6 million. The TD Bank is donating the land for the building and $250,000.
Two other tenants will make the new site a virtual downtown dance centre.
The modern dance school, l’Ecole de dance contemporaine (LADMMI) will move from its Ste. Catherine Street studios a short distance away in time to celebrate the school’s 30th anniversary at the new site. LADMMI has launched a $1.25 million fundraising campaign toward its moving cost of $12.5 million.
The other new tenant, Tangente, recently vacated its longtime location on Cherrier St., where for 21 years it presented avant-garde dance under its dynamic artistic director, Dena Davida. Tangente will double its seating capacity from 91 to 180 seats. A one-million-dollar fundraising campaign is underway.
The building designed by Michel Lapointe of Lapointe Magne and Aedifica Architects will occupy a vacant lot on the Place des Festivals with doors opening on Bleury St. and windows overlooking Place des Arts.

vendredi 19 août 2011 à 11H19
MONTRÉAL - Le Quartier des spectacles à Montréal s'enrichira d'un nouvel édifice à vocation culturelle. L'édifice Wilder, qui date de 1918, sera agrandi et rénové pour accueillir notamment Les Grands Ballets canadiens.
En plus des Grands Ballets, deux autres organisations reliées à la danse, Tangente, vouée à la danse contemporaine, et LADMMI, une école de danse contemporaine, y auront pignon sur rue.
Le Conseil des arts et des lettres y emménagera aussi éventuellement, de même que le ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine, ont annoncé vendredi la ministre Christine St-Pierre, accompagnée de son collègue des Finances, Raymond Bachand, et du maire de Montréal, Gérald Tremblay.
Les travaux de préparation du terrain pourront commencer dès l'automne prochain, mais l'emménagement du ministère seulement en 2014.
Le projet est évalué à 79,1 millions $, provenant en partie du gouvernement du Québec, du gouvernement fédéral, de mécènes et de campagnes de financement à venir.

MONTRÉAL, le 19 août 2011 /CNW Telbec/ - La ministre de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine, madame Christine St-Pierre, et le ministre des Finances, ministre du Revenu, et ministre responsable de la région de Montréal, monsieur Raymond Bachand, en présence du maire de Montréal, monsieur Gérald Tremblay, ont annoncé aujourd'hui que le gouvernement du Québec a donné son accord de principe au déménagement et à l'aménagement dans l'édifice Wilder des locaux de trois organismes en danse : Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal, LADMMI et Tangente. L'édifice abritera aussi le ministère de la Culture, des Communications et de la Condition féminine (MCCCF) et le Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ).
« Montréal est reconnue comme pôle mondial de création et d'innovation en danse. Nous devons ce fait aux talents des artistes, à l'excellence des chorégraphes, au dynamisme des diffuseurs et à la qualité de l'enseignement offert aux jeunes qui se destinent à une carrière en danse. Les trois organismes qui s'installeront dans l'édifice Wilder font partie des ligues majeures de la danse au Québec. Leurs fonctions complémentaires permettront de créer une synergie dans le milieu. Je suis très heureuse de cet accord de principe qui permettra à chacun d'eux d'amorcer le travail préparatoire », a déclaré la ministre St-Pierre.
« Lors du discours du budget 2010-2011, le gouvernement du Québec a annoncé la restauration de l'immeuble Wilder et a confié à la Société immobilière du Québec, qui en est propriétaire, le mandat de développer un projet à vocation culturelle. Le gouvernement a par la suite également annoncé son intention d'y installer les bureaux montréalais du MCCCF et du CALQ. Il nous semblait tout naturel que ce ministère et le CALQ, l'un des principaux organismes à mission culturelle du gouvernement du Québec, migrent vers le Quartier des spectacles, consacrant ainsi le caractère culturel de ce secteur de la ville de Montréal. C'est dans cette même optique que, de son côté, ma collègue Christine St-Pierre a souhaité que soient regroupés sur l'îlot Balmoral trois organismes importants dans le paysage de la danse. Le choix du Wilder, situé au cœur même du Quartier des spectacles, nous a donc paru tout indiqué », a ajouté le ministre Bachand.
« Nous nous réjouissons de cette annonce qui donnera une nouvelle vie à un bâtiment patrimonial témoin de la riche histoire de notre ville. D'autant plus que cet édifice sera doté d'une vocation culturelle unique. Nos danseurs et nos chorégraphes pourront exprimer tout leur talent dans un lieu adapté à leurs besoins. Ce projet contribue également à enrichir le Quartier des spectacles, une vitrine exceptionnelle pour la créativité montréalaise », a déclaré le maire de Montréal.
« Avec ces trois partenaires culturels importants, le gouvernement du Québec pourra finaliser le projet qui vise à revitaliser l'édifice Wilder et à lui donner une nouvelle vie. La planification de ce projet se réalise conformément à la Politique-cadre sur la gouvernance des grands projets d'infrastructure publique. Nous sommes heureux de voir avancer ce projet qui va permettre à des organismes culturels de bénéficier de nouveaux locaux encore mieux adaptés à leurs besoins », a fait savoir la ministre responsable de l'Administration gouvernementale et présidente du Conseil du trésor, madame Michelle Courchesne.
La réputation des Grands Ballets, de LADMMI et de Tangente n'est plus à faire. Ils brillent chacun dans leur champ d'expertise. Ils ont fait la démonstration que les locaux qu'ils occupent sont devenus inadéquats, trop exigus, voire vétustes, et freinent leur créativité et leur développement artistique. Ce nouvel emplacement leur permettra de poursuivre leur mission et d'accroître leur rayonnement, tant au Québec qu'à l'étranger.
Cette annonce permet aux trois organismes de poursuivre l'élaboration détaillée de leur projet d'aménagement et d'entamer des activités de financement afin de réaliser le montage financier.

Besides being adjacent to each other (on the same block), these buildings are right next to the Métro Lucien L'Allier & train terminal.
Sandwiched between the Bell Centre/Cadillac Fairview project to the east and Overdale to the west.

By Allison Lampert, The Gazette August 18, 2011 10:08 PM
The former H.L. Blachford Ltd. manufacturing building at 977 Lucien L'Allier St. was purchased for $6.8 million in 2000
MONTREAL - The real-estate arm of the city of Montreal is poised to sell two buildings in prime downtown locations that have been sitting half-empty for years, The Gazette has learned.
The two buildings, located near the Bell Centre, are among hundreds of thousands of square feet of downtown Montreal real estate that has recently changed hands – or is to be sold off – for new office and residential projects, at a time when land prices have reached all-time highs.
The buildings, which are to be put up for tenders this year by the Société d’habitation et de développement de Montréal, are located on sites originally destined for the third phase of Quebec’s ill-fated E-Commerce Place. Quebec’s Department of Finance mandated the SHDM to manage the buildings it bought for close to $7.9 million in 2000.
“We want to put them for sale by the end of the year,” said Carl Bond, director of real estate management for the SHDM, a paramunicipal organization that owns and manages affordable housing units, along with several commercial buildings.
“Those buildings will be sold, but we need an authorization from the (Department) of Finance.”
Located at 977 Lucien l’Allier, and 1000-1006 de la Montagne St., south of René Lévesque Blvd., the buildings were initially slated to be demolished to make way for gleaming office towers.
They were to be the last part of the 3-million-square foot Parti Québécois-supported project that was later scrapped by the Liberal government in 2003.
The 24,000-square-foot site north of the Lucien l’Allier métro station was purchased from manufacturer H.L. Blachford Ltd. for $6.8 million in 2000 – far above the building’s 2011 municipal evaluation of $4.5 million.
The disparity between the sales price and the current evaluation, an SHDM spokesperson explained, is because the land was to be used for a lucrative office tower, worth far more than a four-storey manufacturing plant.
The two buildings have taken a long time to come to market.
That’s because Blachford had a lease at the building until this spring when it ceased operations, Bond said.
A travel agency is still operating at the building on de la Montagne, part of which is in a decrepit state.
What’s more, the SHDM is now embroiled in legal talks with Blachford over the cost of cleaning up the building, which is contaminated.
“Right now the lawyers are talking and we’re hoping to settle this out of court,” Bond said.
But some commercial brokers say the SHDM lucked out in waiting.
The buildings, they said, would be ideal for residential development at a time when new condos are being constructed in record numbers and downtown land is selling at a premium.
“In terms of timing, it’s better to go to the market today,” said Louis Burgos, senior managing director, Cushman & Wakefield, Montreal.
Today, land in the downtown area is being sold for $250 to $350 per square foot, brokers say, depending on the level of building density, or how much can be developed overall on the site.
The SHDM’s two buildings won’t be coming to market alone. Another three sites have either traded hands, or are to come to market this year for the purpose of development.
In late July, a site of Overdale Ave., an estimated 140,000-square-foot plot on the south side of René Lévesque Blvd, beside Bishop St., was sold by a company based out of a Sherbrooke St. West art gallery run by director Robert Landau for $28 million, provincial records show.
The buyer is a numbered company owned by investor Kheng Li, who is a partner of E. Khoury Construction Inc. A worker at Khoury who didn’t want to be identified, said the site could be used for either residential or office development.
And in April, Cadillac Fairview Corp. Ltd. announced a $400 million investment for an office and three condo towers to be built near the Bell Centre, on Saint Antoine and de la Montagne Sts.
Yet a fifth land site near the Bell Centre is to be put on the market next week, The Gazette has learned.
The price these sites will fetch will depend on a combination of zoning and market demand. The red-tape Montreal developers have historically faced in obtaining zoning changes to built higher — and more economically viable buildings — may be easier to deal with if the seller is a city agency, brokers say.

Seats have been removed to enable the hall to be more Broadway-show friendly. Sounds like a good idea. I hope it is permanent.
http://www.montrealgazette.com/entertainment/Lion+King+makes+grand+entrance/5250480/story.html
Make way for The Lion King!Actually, Place des Arts has already done that by creating two new aisles in Salle Wilfrid Pelletier to allow for the dramatic entrance of the show's giant Africa-on-safari puppets. This alteration improves the par terre seating immensely. (Fewer toes to tread on the way to your seat.)
The arrival of The Lion King, for an unusual monthlong run, may usher in a whole new era of musical theatre for the venue, recently abandoned by the MSO.
With this new availability, award-winning hits like The Lion King, directed by Julie Taymor, could arrive in Montreal less than a decade after their Broadway triumphs (The Lion King premiered on Broadway in 1997.) And perhaps they will get in the habit of staying longer than the standard six days.

Télématon rue Sainte-Catherine Est - Partagez vos impressions et vos coups de cœur dans le Village
18 août 2011
Montréal, le 18 août 2011 - Alors que la piétonnisation bat son plein, l'arrondissement de Ville-Marie et la Société de Développement Commercial (SDC) du Village invitent, entre le 20 août et le 3 septembre, toutes les personnes intéressées à exprimer dans le Télématon leurs idées, leurs coups de cœur et leurs attentes sur la rue piétonne et sur l'offre commerciale du Village.
« Notre objectif est de rejoindre les citoyens, les travailleurs, les visiteurs, ainsi que les membres de la communauté LGBT qui fréquentent le Village. Nous souhaitons ainsi recueillir leur opinion et leurs commentaires, afin de continuer le développement du Village gai de Montréal », explique Bernard Plante, directeur général de la SDC du Village.
La méthode citoyenne du Télématon
Conçu par l'Atelier Jean-François Desmarais, le Télématon, avec son aspect ludique et son allure de «cabine à photos», invite les passants à communiquer leurs points de vue de manière sympathique. Ces derniers sont en fait questionnés par un intervieweur à l'intérieur de la cabine et sont en même temps filmés par un dispositif audio-vidéo.
La « machine à conversation », comme on l'appelle également, permet ainsi de rejoindre une population qui participe moins souvent au processus de consultation publique traditionnel.
Une démarche pour la vitalité économique du Village
Grâce à cette démarche, la SDC et l'arrondissement souhaitent mieux évaluer les besoins de la population du Village, ainsi que de ses utilisateurs, et intégrer les visions citoyennes au développement du quartier.
Les commentaires captés à l'intérieur de la cabine seront réunis dans un clip documentaire qui sera diffusé à l'automne sur le site Web de l'arrondissement.
Calendrier des sorties
Les citoyens pourront suivre les allées et venues du Télématon rue Sainte-Catherine Est, du 20 août au 3 septembre, en consultant le calendrier disponible sur le site Web des partenaires du projet, à savoir l'arrondissement, la SDC du Village, Aires libres et sur la page facebook du Télématon.

Exclusive: Jonathan Levine Talks WARM BODIES, LITTLE GIRL LOST, LEGEND, and JAMAICA
by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Posted:August 16th, 2011 at 9:38 pm
The other day I got on the phone with director Jonathan Levine (The Wackness) to talk about his great new film, 50/50. Since our conversation covered so many subjects, I decided to break it up into two parts and I’m starting with everything he said about his future projects like Warm Bodies, Legend, Jamaica, and Little Girl Lost. Here’s the highlights:
- Warm Bodies is up next for Levine. After that, he has three projects to choose from. The scripts for Legend and Jamaica are still being written. Michael Bacall has finished the script for Little Girl Lost.
- Teresa Palmer stars alongside Nicholas Hoult in Warm Bodies. The story “follows an existentially tormented zombie named R (Hoult) that begins an unlikely friendship with the human girlfriend (Palmer) of one of his victims. The blossoming relationship starts a chain reaction that will transform him, his fellow zombies and maybe the whole lifeless world.”
- Levine says his script for Warm Bodies is “probably 75% faithful to the book,” but he enjoyed the freedom of creative license. No “big changes.”
- The Warm Bodies zombies are somewhere between fast and slow. They can run fast when they are really hungry, but otherwise don’t.
- Levine will begin a 9-week shoot in Montreal in about five weeks. Montreal was chosen in part has an abandoned airport that will serve as a major setting, in part because Levine likes the architecture of the city.
- The biggest challenge will be satisfying zombie purists: “It is very different, and while it’s trying to work within the framework of the genre, it’s also trying to kind of do something unique with the genre too, and I’m sure we’re violating a lot of zombie rules and I’m going to have to beg for forgiveness and hope that everyone likes it.”
- It will be PG-13 because there is a romantic, magical tone to the story. Levine says “we don’t need heads exploding to tell our story.”
- There will be a lot of voiceover by Hoult’s character, but it will be nontraditional, since Hoult plays a zombie. Levine compares it to the locked-in syndrome perspective of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
- Warm Zombies will be a “music-heavy movie.” Levine wrote several songs into the script, pending rights clearance.
Hit the jump for the part of the interview on his future projects. Warm Bodies sounds like it could be very cool.
Collider: What’s the status of the films that you are prepping right now?
Jonathan Levine: There are three movies I’m prepping right now, also a movie called Little Girl Lost at Universal. The status of all those is that, with Legend we have two great young writers who are writing a script, and I’m looking forward to reading it when they’re done. Jamaica, of course [50/50 screenwriter] Will [Reiser] is writing the script based on his personal experience, and that would be reuniting all of us in Jamaica which is a pretty compelling thought for me, I think it would be really fun. And then there’s Little Girl Lost which the script is written, Michael Bacall wrote a really great script, so that’s something that’s also really intriguing. So I feel lucky to have like three really cool things on the horizon.
Do you envision one of those three being what you do after Warm Bodies?
Levine: I mean there’s so many different things that go into getting a movie actually made and having it all come together. Between The Wackness and 50/50 I spent basically a year and a half kind of trying to maneuver and figure out what the next thing is. So yeah, you stack the deck with things you’re interested in, and then if something comes together great, and then if not you have three times the choices as you did before. I do envision one of those three being my next movie, but then again, I do really wanna write something else. The good news is that I will get to make a next movie, that’s always the good spirit. You just wanna be able to keep making them (laughs).
Is Warm Bodies your script?
Levine: It is my script, but it’s based on a book. A young man named Isaac Marion wrote a fantastic book, and Summit hired me to adapt it about a year and a half ago, so yeah I’m the only person who’s written any dialogue or any words on paper in Final Draft form on the movie, which is exciting and terrifying at the same time.
I met Marion at Comic-Con and he seems super nice, and he’s super excited that the movie’s getting made. How faithful is your script to the book? Is it like Harry Potter or did you take some liberties?
Levine: I did take some liberties because, you know I really liked the book but one of the great opportunities with it is the book had not come out yet, and I loved the idea that I was not kind of handcuffed by peoples’ expectations. I loved the idea that I didn’t have to be faithful to it and I could use it as inspiration. That said, it is probably 75% faithful to the book, but it was very nice to not be married to the exact things that happened in the book, because it allowed me to be a little bit more creative.
Are there a lot of little things that you changed or did you have to make a big dramatic shift to make it all work?
Levine: Not really, no I wouldn’t say I had to do any big changes. It’s kind of a lot of little things that kind of alter the big picture slightly. There was nothing broken about the book, that was part of why I liked it because I’ve tried to adapt broken books before and it’s very, very frustrating.
Big question: fast or slow zombies?
Levine: They’re gonna be both, man. They’re not gonna be George Romero guys, they’re able to run but they don’t really run unless they’re hungry. But I’d say they’re fast zombies. They’re kinda like, have you seen that scene in Jungle Fever where Wesley Snipes goes to rescue Sam Jackson from the crack house? They’re kinda like that until they get hungry, then they just bug out.
You’re filming in Montreal, what was the motivation for filming up there?
Levine: Well a lot of the movie takes place in an abandoned airport, and Montreal had an abandoned airport which is where they shot The Terminal. So that was one of the main reasons to come here, but it’s also a wonderful city, the people are great, the crew is great, the guy who drives me to my house who’s setting next to me is wonderful. No, it was essentially for that specific location, but we really liked the architecture of the city and we’d heard great things about shooting here so that’s why we’re here.
Can you talk a little about the cast you put together?
Levine: For Nicholas [Hoult] and Teresa [Palmer], I think they’re very, very exciting young actors and they’re both very technically talented, but they both have a good sense of humor and levity to them. I’ve really, really liked Teresa for a long time, ever since she actually auditioned for The Wackness I thought she was great. As far as Nic goes, I loved him on the British version of Skins, I just thought he was such a unique screen presence and very charismatic and very sweet, so I was really excited that we cast both these guys. And then we have some more awesome people that I can’t talk about yet because their deals aren’t closed, I’m sure it’ll be announced within the next couple of weeks, but it’s gonna pretty sick.
What’s interesting about the project is that it’s unlike any other zombie I’ve ever heard of. Could you talk about what the project is about and the interesting take on the material?
Levine: You know it’s an existential zombie romance, which I think on paper sounds maybe really shitty (laughs), it just could go either way. But I read the book and I fell in love with it, and I just thought it was this magical realistic thing that included social commentary and adventure and love and action, but also allowed you to address slightly more serious things. So yeah, it’s really unique. The challenges of it are getting you to care about this protagonist, he is suffering from this plague and he is essentially a walking corpse, but over the course of the movie, through this girl and stuff, he sort of re-learns what it means to be human. I think probably the biggest challenge is keeping the zombie purists, because it is very different, and while it’s trying to work within the framework of the genre, it’s also trying to kind of do something unique with the genre too, and I’m sure we’re violating a lot of zombie rules and I’m going to have to beg for forgiveness and hope that everyone likes it.
I think the only way to be creative is to sometimes break open a door that maybe most people didn’t even think to open.
Levine: I often think about it because it’s in the back of my head, and then I have to tell myself not to think about it because it’s not really one of the main things you need to be thinking about when making a movie, I think in the world of blogs and twitter and stuff as a filmmaker you’re very aware of all different types of opinions, and it’s your natural instinct to try to please people, but it’s never what’s best for the movie so you have to kind of learn to ignore it.
Are you going for PG-13 or is it going to be R?
Levine: No, it’s PG-13. It’s a movie that, for me, doesn’t need to be dark in tone, it’s really a romantic kind of magical movie and while we don’t wanna pussy out on the violence, we also don’t need heads exploding to tell our story. From my perspective, a big portion of the audience would not be able to see it if it was R, so I’m happy to have it PG-13. I’m a little daunted by the challenge, I’ve never made a PG-13 movie, so everyone’s just gonna have to resist the urge to say “fuck.” We only get two nonsexual “fucks.”
I thought you only get one “fuck?”
Levine: I think you get one “fuck” if it’s sexual, like as a verb. But if it’s like “fuck that” or something, I think you get two. I could be wrong.
I think it might just be one, and I cite the example of X-Men: First Class.
Levine: Yes, that is true, but then again they didn’t really need another “fuck.” If they had another “fuck” it would’ve taken away from that one. That’s the best PG-13 “fuck” in the history of cinema.
I was just about to say that to you, that one use was absolutely magical.
Levine: I think in fact, it convinced people the entire movie was good.
I don’t know about that, I think the movie was pretty good.
Levine: Look, I liked the movie but that one scene I was like, “That’s just brilliant,” the whole thing just came together for me in that one scene.
On Warm Bodies I’m assuming there’s gonna be a lot of voice-over for Nic’s character.
Levine: Yes.
So, the voice-over is pretty much how we get everything from him?
Levine: He can get by a little bit, he has a limited vocabulary. The idea is that these guys are kind of trapped within their zombie form, their brains are sort of still working but it’s almost like a Diving Bell and the Butterfly-type thing, it’s almost like a locked-in syndrome. So he can start to formulate thoughts, but he doesn’t get very far. So yes, for the vast majority of the beginning of the movie, it’s all voice-over.
When do you start filming and when do you wrap?
Levine: I start filming in five weeks, and then we wrap nine weeks after that I think. I’m here until like November 22nd.
That’s a healthy amount of time. Right before Thanksgiving.
Levine: Yes, I think it’s almost twice the amount as I’ve ever had for a movie.
A healthy amount of time.
Levine: Yes, I’m very very happy to have a healthy amount of time. We were just going through the schedule today and it’s still not enough time. Maybe it never is.
You’re obviously really into music. Have you already started formulating the soundtrack to the film in your brain?
Levine: Yeah, man. We got a lot of it actually on the page. Since I was lucky enough to be able to write it, I wrote a bunch of stuff into it. Whether we get it or not or whether it ends up being that song or not, there’s a lot of songs that are kind of guidelines for us, so that’s fun. It’s definitely a very music-heavy movie, which is cool because I know a lot of people have done that within this genre, cool music adds kind of a backdrop for it.
Did you give Teresa and Nic mix CD’s?
Levine: Not yet. I gotta put that on my list, they’re gonna get here in a couple of weeks, I’ll have something for them.
- Warm Bodies is up next for Levine. After that, he has three projects to choose from. The scripts for Legend and Jamaica are still being written. Michael Bacall has finished the script for Little Girl Lost.

CONDOS LE COURANT : STYLE URBAIN ET ZEN
Prévus pour prendre place sur la rue Parthenais, entre Sainte-Catherine et de Maisonneuve, en plein cœur du quartier Les Faubourgs…
les Condominiums Le courant, un projet développé par Pentian Construction se voudront une solution idéale pour les jeunes professionnels et les étudiants qui fréquentent les universités du centre-ville. C’est ce que nous a affirmé Charles Valenti, trésorier chez Pentian Construction et président de Condominiums Le Courant, une division du constructeur lavallois. Le projet se déclinera en trois phases, dont la construction s’amorcera le mois prochain. Trois édifices de 78 unités chacun composeront le projet.
Des lofts et des appartements de 3 ½ ou 4 ½ pièces, dont la superficie habitable variera entre 600 et 850 pi2 seront offerts. À cet effet, déjà près d’une quarantaine unités de la phase I ont trouvé preneurs.
CONCEPTION
L’acheteur potentiel pourra s’attendre à un design présentant des lignes très droites, de style zen, avec une fenestration abondante, une conception très symétrique. Un style très urbain, d’où les teintes extérieures de gris et couleur charbon. Toutes les unités, à l’exception des lofts, auront un balcon privé dont la superficie variera entre 84 et 144 pi2. Un look moderne très urbain qui se mariera très bien avec l’environnement du quartier, selon Charles Valenti. À l’intérieur, le constructeur ne lésinera pas sur la qualité.
Que du moyen à haut de gamme. Planchers de bambou pour les salons, salles à dîner et chambres, céramique pour les salles de bain et cuisines, armoires en stratifié luisant, comptoirs en quartz, robinetterie haut de gamme, douche en verre clair avec porte coulissante, douche pluie et jets, climatisation centrale et chauffage électrique. La phase I comportera également 32 places de stationnement au sous-sol. De plus, toutes les unités, à l’exception des lofts, auront un balcon privé dont la superficie variera entre 84 et 144 pi2.
CHOIX DU QUARTIER
Questionné sur le choix du quartier Les Faubourgs, Charles Valenti avoue qu’il n’en connaissait pas le nom. « Nous recherchions des terrains. L’emplacement nous a été proposé par l’un des agents immobiliers avec qui nous traitons régulièrement. Dès la première visite du site, nous avons envisagé favorablement son potentiel. Nous aimions la proximité du centre-ville, l’accès rapide à deux stations de métro, la rareté des projets dans le secteur. Sur le Plateau, le développement est pratiquement terminé, alors que dans le Village les possibilités sont bien minces. Le quartier est en plein développement et est notamment composé du pôle des médias, puisqu’on y retrouve TVA, la SRC, Télé-Québec, RDS et bien d’autres. Il s’agit pour nous d’une clientèle qui peut être vivement intéressée par notre projet ».
CLIENTÈLE CIBLE
Les Condominiums Le courant visent essentiellement une clientèle de jeunes professionnels sans enfants, provenant du Village et du Plateau-Mont-Royal. Aussi, on cible une clientèle étudiante, vu la proximité des universités au centre-ville. « Nous avons d’ailleurs plusieurs demandes en ce sens par le biais de notre site Internet. De nombreux parents envisagent cette option, plus abordable qu’un logement sur le Plateau, par exemple. Il ne faut pas perdre de vue qu’il s’agit d’un investissement », souligne avec justesse Charles Valenti.
Disponibles à partir de 129 900 $ (taxes en sus), jusqu’à 320 000 $, avec des taux d’intérêts aussi bas que 3,5 % et une mise de fonds initiale de 5 ou 10 %, l’acheteur peut donc se retrouver avec des paiements hypothécaires d’à peine 600 $ par mois. Qui dit mieux? Et si l’on ajoute une subvention municipale de 7 500 $ à titre de premier acheteur, l’offre devient encore plus alléchante. « Depuis notre fondation en 1997, la qualité des produits utilisés est notre mot d’ordre. Notre excellente réputation en découle, il n’en fait aucun doute », a conclu l’entrepreneur de 44 ans.

Among other things, the OCPM seriously questionned the financial estimates of the project in their final report dated March 18, 2010 and made many reccomendations.
http://www.ocpm.qc.ca/sites/default/files/rapports/Rapport_Bonaventure.pdf
Here's part of what they wrote in their covering letter about some of the financial aspects:
''La robustesse du scénario financier reste à valider
De l’avis de plusieurs, incluant la commission, le scénario financier mériterait d’être
révisé. Certains coûts pourraient avoir été sous-estimés ou ne pas avoir été pris en
considération dans l’évaluation de la rentabilité du projet.
Les coûts d’acquisition des droits du CN et de Dépotium et les coûts de la mise en
valeur des espaces du viaduc du CN n’ont pas été estimés, alors que les retombées
semblent avoir été incluses. La consultation a révélé que l’actuelle entreprise locatrice
du bâtiment-pont a signé l’an dernier un bail de 40 ans avec le CN. De plus, les coûts de
décontamination des terrains qui seraient vendus par la Ville ne semblent pas avoir été
dégrevés des recettes anticipées. On croit également qu’une estimation plus serrée de
la valeur marchande des terrains libérés devrait être produite, en tenant compte de
l’existence du surplus actuel de terrains disponibles au centre-ville.
Enfin, dans des études assez récentes du promoteur, le projet Devimco à Griffintown a
été considéré comme un facteur de succès pour les futurs espaces à bureaux, à la fois
par son apport d’une masse critique de résidents et d’une destination commerciale. Or,
ce projet a été considérablement réduit sans que la prévision des retombées n’ait été
ajustée.''

Hi Marty
I do agree with you on the urgency of the Champlain and you are right about government costing estimates.
One thing is almost a given:
The final cost of any government project will double or triple after the project starts getting built. Seems to be built into the system and unfortunatley we all accept that.
-
I generally support the proposal, so I'm not questionning if it should be done, although I still think it would be preferable to wait untill the new bridge is built for the reasons I gave in the earlier post.
Unless I missed it, I'd like to know what is the real urgency of this project ?
Why should it be proritized and millions of dollars allocated to this project at a time when the city's infrastructure is falling apart all around us? As long as there are no reports to say it is dangerous and traffic flow is not compromised...
-
From what I've read they haven't even tackled the question of precisely where the new bridge or tunnel will be constructed, or if and what type of mass transit system will be part of the project, let alone when it will be built. Pressure will increase when the new session of parliament opens and I suspect that they will have to 'give in' and announce the project within a year.
I imagine some parts of the Bonaventure Project might remain, but it is also possible that adjustments will have to be made to incorporate the location of the new bridge or tunnel (and no longer the old) and the type of mass transit system used. Both projects should be thought out in tandem. The City might also receive more funding for the project if they have to alter the route to support the new Champlain and mass transit from the south shore.
You rightly mention that it is not advisible to have all these projects going on at the same time. Perhaps we should wait until the new bridge is built, so that we don't add to the problems alreday experienced by the condition of the existing bridge. Maybe we can get the Notre-Dame project moving instead. What is the real urgency of tearing down the Bonaventure (eyesore that it is) right now anyway?
As soon as the Feds determine exactly where the new Champlain will go (and all it's components), the City can start their part. Who knows, maybe even the Dalhousie street reserved bus lanes (along with it's costs) will not be necessary if there are rapid trains going to Central Station. Possibly other expropriations may be necessary instead....
In the end, the real priorities should be safety, traffic flow and the best use of taxpayers money.
-
Hate to say it, but a lot of what Harel says makes sense, especially the part of needing to know where the new Champlain will go BEFORE redoing the Bonaventure.

Interesting, but I think these articles only get our hopes up so that they can be crushed. Like I said in a previous post...there are two things that are stopping us from getting MLB back to Montreal. Bud Selig (thankfully he's old and will die soon!) and the lack of a Baseball specific DOWNTOWN Stadium.
We can talk all day long about renovating the Big Owe or we can talk about building one at Blue Bonnets. It doesn't change the fact that if ever we get a new Stadium, it needs to be as close as possible to the downtown core. Without that, you can forget about MLB ever coming back to this province.
And more specifically it really boils down to money for a new stadium. So, of course the stadium issue is central to this, but these articles demonstrate that Montréal still is (potentially at least) in the major leagues (contrary to what some peope think).
With all the infrastructure maintenance catch-uping to do, I don't think our governments will invest any money at all in a new stadium (even with majority private interests). Still, it is fun deciding where to build a new stadium as long as we're paying for it with monopoly money...

If Major League Baseball ever decides to expand, it will have very few options.
Only one market -- Riverside-San Bernardino, Calif. -- has an income base that’s large enough to support a new MLB team, according to an On Numbers study.
Seven other markets have borderline potential, based on an analysis of total personal income (TPI). Prominent in that group are a city that has already lost an MLB franchise (Montreal) and another (Las Vegas) whose gambling industry makes baseball officials very nervous.
And that’s the extent of the available choices.
On Numbers focused on 59 U.S. and Canadian markets that do not have MLB franchises, assessing their financial ability to support new teams. Click here for the complete methodology.
Each market was rated on a 100-point scale. Riverside-San Bernardino, an area of 4.2 million people east of Los Angeles, received the sole perfect score, thanks to its TPI of $125.8 billion. An MLB team requires an income base of $85.4 billion for adequate support, as estimated by On Numbers.
Montreal’s 97 was the only other mark above 82 points. Ratings for all 59 markets can be found in the database below.
Financial capacity was the focus of the On Numbers study, but other considerations would obviously be important in any decision to expand or relocate a franchise. Among them would be proximity to existing teams, the availability of stadiums or arenas, and unique local factors (such as gambling in Las Vegas).

QUÉBEC, Aug. 15, 2011 -- /PRNewswire/ - Communauto, Hydro-Québec and Nissan Canada are proud to announce the launch of the largest North American all-electric carsharing service, and the first of its kind in Québec. The project will be rolled out until early 2012 , with 50 all-electric Nissan LEAFs added to Communauto's fleet, including 15 available today.
"With this project, Communauto is renewing the innovation of carsharing and its ability to offer residents of Québec a new way to have access to a car, while taking advantage of the latest environmental technologies," said Benoît Robert, president and CEO of Communauto. "Starting with our nearly 25,000 members, all citizens of the Québec and Montréal areas will have access to personal electric mobility for only $37 a year, even if they don't have a parking space to charge the vehicle. Another advantage of carsharing!"
This project was made possible with the support of many partners. The Québec government and Hydro-Québec paved the way for the priority delivery of the Nissan LEAF through their commitment to electric mobility and the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Nissan. The Québec government supported this project through credits and subsidies for the purchase of electric vehicles. Hydro-Québec is providing financial and technical support for the charging infrastructure being implemented.
"Today we are taking an important step towards the electrification of ground transportation and the fulfillment of our Electric Vehicles: 2011-2020 Action Plan launched last April. I am proud of our leadership's ability to create favourable conditions for the deployment of electric vehicles. Since 98% of our electricity comes from clean, renewable resources, Québec presents a number of advantages for the introduction of electric vehicles. The integration of these vehicles into Communauto's fleet is another step that confirms Québec's leadership in energy and the environment," said Raymond Bernier, Member of the National Assembly on behalf of Nathalie Normandeau, the Minister of Natural Resources and Wildlife.
"Hydro-Québec has been collaborating with Communauto and Nissan for over a year to make this ecologically responsible initiative possible. We are very pleased to be associated with this project that will significantly contribute to the development of electric vehicles in Québec, while offering users our clean, renewable energy. Carsharing will allow a large number of drivers to appreciate electric-powered vehicles," added Pierre-Luc Desgagné, Senior Director - Strategic Planning and Government Affairs, Hydro-Québec.
A number of organizations contributed to this projects by participating in the implementation of charging stations, a prerequisite to making electric vehicles available to all: the cities of Québec and Montréal, the Société Parc-Auto du Québec (SPAQ), the Desjardins Group, Ivanhoé Cambridge, Stationnement de Montréal, the Monastère du Saint-Sacrement in Montréal, the Société Immobilière du Québec, the Institut national de la recherche scientifique, the Université de Montréal and the Productive House project.
The president of the Réseau de transport de la Capitale, Raymond Dion, said, "For the city of Québec, carsharing presents a solution in personal mobility for citizens who need a car occasionally. Communauto offers an innovative, proven and cost-effective solution. The arrival of electric vehicles brings an additional advantage. In fact, the Réseau de transport de la Capitale established the Écolobus service in 2008. With its non-polluting and ultra-quiet electric buses, Écolobus contributes to preserving the quality of Vieux-Québec's environment. Implementing this type of vehicle is in line with the city's desire to protect the environment, offer more sustainable modes of transportation and improve the quality of life of its citizens."
Jacques Dorval, president and CEO of SPAQ said, "We got involved in this project to make the Communauto experience even more enjoyable and, especially, more efficient. We welcome Communauto members 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to charge their vehicles safely."
The first six electric vehicles available in the city of Québec will be located in the following parking lots: at City Hall, at SIQ in Place d'Youville, at the INRS in Saint-Roch and at Ivanhoé Cambridge's Édifice de la Haute Ville.
The scientific follow-up of this project will be provided by the Centre National du Transport Avancé in Saint-Jérôme. In addition to giving priority to the delivery of these vehicles, Nissan Canada will maintain its contribution with technical support either directly or through its car dealers: Nissan Park Avenue in the Montréal area and Nissan Beauport in the Québec area.
"Electricity is the new fuel for vehicles, and drivers now have the freedom to choose a future free of emissions and fossil fuels," said Allen Childs, president of Nissan Canada Inc. "The delivery of the first Nissan LEAFs in Québec is only the beginning of the movement towards sustainable mobility in Canada and we are very pleased to be associated with Communauto. It will allow the greatest number of Québec drivers to have access to this truly innovative vehicle through carsharing."
AeroVironment, based in the United States, and AddÉnergie, Québec's first charging station producer, will supply the stations to power Communauto's network. AddÉnergie, a company based in the city of Québec, will learn much from this first experience in deploying charging stations.
