#SPOTTED: KIEFER SUTHERLAND IN TORONTO FOR CANADIAN PREMIER OF “RABBIT HOLE”

Filmed right here in Toronto, Paramount+ Spy-Thriller Series RABBIT HOLE got a welcome home with a premiere at Scotiabank Theatre, plus a bash for its leading man, our v. own Kiefer Sutherland!

Synopsis:

In RABBIT HOLE, John Weir (Kiefer Sutherland), a master of deception in the world of corporate espionage, is framed for murder by powerful forces who have the ability to influence and control populations.

In addition to Sutherland, RABBIT HOLE features a dynamic cast including Charles Dance (“Game of Thrones”) as Dr. Ben Wilson, Meta Golding (“Empire”) as Hailey Winton, Enid Graham (“Mare of Easttown”) as Josephine “Jo” Madi, Rob Yang (“Succession”) as Edward Homm, Walt Klink (“The English”) as The Intern and Jason Butler Harner (“Ozark”) as Valence.

Sutherland serves as executive producer for RABBIT HOLE, alongside writer-directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra (“This Is Us,” “WeCrashed”), Charlie Gogolak (“The Sinner,” “WeCrashed”), Suzan Bymel (“Designated Survivor”) and Hunt Baldwin (“Longmire,” “The Closer”).

Produced by CBS Studios, the eight-episode season will premiere Sunday, March 26 with two episodes. Following the premiere, new episodes will drop weekly on Sundays, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada, and on the following day, Monday, March 27, 2023 in the U.K., Australia, Latin America, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and France. The premiere date in South Korea will be announced at a later date.

We had the pleasure of previewing the first couple episodes of the Series already and it is phenomenal and gripping. Sutherland back doing what he does best. Gritty, intense Thrillers. The Series is mix of genres – a little Rom-Com, Action, Thriller, with tons of suspense. We were on the edge of our seat the whole time and how cool to see Toronto landmarks featured so prominently? The celebration for the Series was held at STORYS, with delightful cocktails and nibbles, commemorating the Series. Did we mention awesome activations too inspired by the Series? We were on surveillance the whole time just like Keifer!

Some highlights from the celebration:

#SPOTTED: CHARLES DANCE IN TORONTO FOR “RABBIT HOLE”

Celebrated Thespian Charles Dance is in Toronto working on upcoming Series Rabbit Hole. With a distinguished Résumé that includes work on acclaimed Films and TV Series like The Imitation Game, Aliens 3, Mank, The Golden Child, The Crown and Game of Thrones, Dance next can be seen in upcoming Netflix Series THE SANDMAN. His Co-Star Patton Oswalt was just here this past weekend too!

We randomly spotted Dance going out for a walk in the evening around Entertainment District. He always so amazingly nice to stop for some Snaps, appearing to be on a day off from filming.

Rabbit Hole centers on a private espionage operative fighting for democracy in a world at odds with misinformation, behavioural manipulation and a surveillance state. Hmm. Sounds like an actual thing. Executive Producer Kiefer Sutherland and Jason Butler Harner star as well. Series to arrive later this year on Paramount+.

#SPOTTED: ADAN CANTO + LAMONICA GARRETT IN TORONTO FOR “DESIGNATED SURVIVOR”

Kiefer‘s back! Toronto’s pride and joy makes his way back to the City for new series DESIGNATED SURVIVOR. Filming between March and October, the eOne-distributed Series centers on a low level cabinet member named Tom Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland) who suddenly is appointed POTUS after a catastrophic attack on the United States.

We spotted Co-stars LaMonica Garrett (Transformers: Dark od the Moon, Daddy’s Home) and Adan Canto (X-Men: Days of Future Past, The Following) out and about as the Series gears up for production this week. Garrett plays a secret service officer to Sutherland‘s Tom. Canto plays White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Aaron. Both handsome lads were more than kind to stop for a Snap.  We’re really curious about this Series which also stars Maggie Q, Italia Ricci and Natascha McElhone.

See our Snaps with Barrett and Canto:

Hmm… curious if we’ll see Kiefer next weekend at the Canadian Screen Awards? His brother Rossif is nominated for his Film, RIVER.

#SPOTTED: KIT HARINGTON IN TORONTO FOR “POMPEII”

Toronto sure loves Game of Thrones and the latest Cast Member to grace our City is none other than Kit Harington. An no, that’s not Orlando Bloom whom he often is confused for!  The 26-year-old Thespian Heartthrob arrived in Toronto last week to begin prep on Paul W. S. Anderson‘s (Resident Evil: Retribution, The Three Musketeers… Husband of Milla Jovovich) Action/Adventure Pompeii, which films later this month.  And this of course wouldn’t be Harington‘s first time in Toronto though as he filmed Silent Hill: Revelation here early 2011.

Harington has been turning heads allover the City this past week with Fans taking to Twitter to voice their shock at seeing Jon Snow (his Game of Thrones Character) in-person on our streets.  For once, some Snow in April is actually welcome!  The incredibly kind Actor, who actually is even more handsome in-person, tells me he isn’t quite sure when some of his Co-Stars including Emily Browning (Sucker Punch), Jared Harris (Mad Men, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones) and our v. own Kiefer Sutherland will be here.  The Film centers around a Man condemned to Slavery on a ship, who must work his way home to save the Woman he loves and his Best Friend, a  trapped Gladiator.  Think Django Unchained, but not really!  eOne Films will release Pompeii in 2014.

The Actor also  recently revealed (pardon the pun) that a nude scene is forthcoming on the fourth season of Game of Thrones, although we don’t know exactly when.  He tells the New York Daily News, “I’m fine with nudity actually. I think it’s one of those things…you take off your robe and you are nude.“.

I never leave my Readers empty-handed, so in celebration of our Spotting, let’s share an Autograph shall we?  To enter to win a Signed Photo from Kit Harington, click “like” on this Post before May 1, 2013. Share this Post on Facebook and double your chances!  All are welcome to enter.

And while we’re on the topic, let’s take a look back at some of the Game of Thrones Cast Members who’ve visited Toronto recently:

• Rose Leslie
• Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
• Michelle Fairley
• Lena Headey

 

Game of Thrones can currently be seen on HBO Canada on Sunday nights at 9:00 PM EST.
