The University of British Columbia \u2014 my alma mater \u2014 has served as a location for many movies and TV shows over the years. (I believe I once saw Johnny Depp and one of his 21 Jump Street<\/i> co-stars shooting a scene near the libraries then known as Main and Sedgwick, back in the late \u201980s.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, the campus is getting one of its most extensive cinematic makeovers ever, as Buchanan Tower \u2014 the main office building for the arts department, including all my former history profs \u2014 has apparently been turned into some sort of military base, pyrotechnics and all, for the X-Men Origins: Wolverine<\/a><\/i> reshoots.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the photos and videos that students and others have been posting to their Flickr accounts:<\/p>\n
