... Quebec Premier Pauline Marois was in London on Monday to announce that one of the largest visual effects companies in Europe, will be opening an office in Montreal.
Cinesite, a London-based company that specializes in the production of visual effects and animation for film and television, is behind the digital special effects in blockbuster films such as Harry Potter and X-Men.
The move is expected to create around 200 jobs in the city, with the possibility of 50 more by 2018. ...
“Montreal and London are the best city’s in the world to make a movie and visual effects.
“This burgeoning creative hub, combined with the investment support offered by the government of Quebec, makes it the ideal location for us."
Damn straight it's a great place. The province is eager to shower Canadian looneys on you. Why wouldn't you want to come?
Free enterprise!
