Filmport, Toronto's new super-studio opens officially in a few days. As of this moment, there are no bookings -- no takers. This is not good. The answer to this curious phenomena is quite clear: This impressive little studio complex was built years too late. The Canadian Dollar continues to be strong, and there are now too many other Torontos.In a similar fashion to what was suggested in Woody Allen's brilliant science fiction movie premise from years ago, what Toronto film workers are left standing would be smart to go into "the pants business".

Or, to borrow a scene from "Sleeper", in 200 years, someone will dig up an episode of "Hockey Wives" or any Toronto-made erotic thriller with Michael Ironside or Shannon Tweed, and say: "We're not exactly sure, but we have a theory that anyone guilty of committing crimes against the state was forced to watch this."
