Leonardo DiCaprio will produce a new movie being filmed in Alberta

Wild Rose Country is no stranger to major productions, but that should come as no surprise.

From the majestic mountains and the rugged badlands to bustling cities, Alberta is a stunning province that keeps industry titans coming back and it won’t be long until we see it on screens big and small once again.

Not only are highly anticipated projects like The Abandons (Gillian Anderson, Lena Headey) and Die, My Love (Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson) being filmed on the Prairies, Howl, a film produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jane Goodall will also be shot in the area.

Described as being “set against the backdrop of a harsh winter,” the movie follows Harry, a dog left home alone during a fatal accident involving his family.

“Harry goes through a rollercoaster survival ride that brings him into contact with a wolf,” explains the Film and Television Industry Alliance (FTIA)

“The pair must overcome their mutual fear and suspicion, and ultimately they develop a close bond.”

According to FTIA, production will take place in Calgary between October 1st, 2024 and February 28th, 2025 – so keep an eye out for the crew, but be respectful and stay out of their way while they’re in the area.

We want them to keep coming back and being wonderfully Canadian is a great way to ensure that happens.

Happy viewing (from afar, until it hits theatres) and enjoy.

Leonardo DiCaprio may not roll into Alberta while on duty as producer, but this is still an exciting time!
