Griffintown pretty in sci-fi box office flop

Griffintown hasn't starred in a ton of films, but Mr. Nobody, a lavish parallel-universe, sci-fi, meaning-of-life box office flop really brings the area to a different light.
   The 2009 Jared Leto movie had a $47 million budget but only brought in $2 million alas, meaning that not many people saw the scenes shot here in Montreal and investors really don't want you to talk about the film.

The warehouse at Ottawa and Shannon was demolish
in mid-September 2012.

   But it has played relatively frequently on the movie channel and is probably worth a peek, as it challenges some of our assumptions about reality and just plain looks cool. The Griffintown scenes come in about six minutes into the flick and showcase that corner of Wellington and Peel and then show that cool-looking warehouse a couple of blocks over, at Ottawa and Shannon,which was demolished in mid-September 2012..
   And then near the end when the whole world is falling apart they show McGill St in 2092 as the same venerable old buildings are equipped with not-very-futuristic-looking scroll signs at the top, sending our protagonist secret messages to find his alternate-universe selves which are ultimately all just parts of a reality dreamed up by a 9 year old boy forced to choose between his parents.
 There are also several cool scenes, one on Dorch next to Sun Life and from across the river as well.
