Vancouver Chinatown served as Los Angels for Fear The Walking Dead
Fear the Walking Dead filmed scenes of a Los Angeles riot in downtown Vancouver last night, starting around 1:00 a.m. The six-episode companion series to The Walking Dead tells the story of the beginning of the zombie outbreak in another part of the United States. People don’t know what’s happening but there are “shootings, fires and riots breaking out across the country,” show runner Dave Erickson told TVLine. This is a stunt rehearsal of the mob crashing a scaffolding platform on a construction site in fictional Gabrielinos Plaza in Los Angeles.
On Thursday night — May 21st — Fear The Walking Dead shot another riot scene of Los Angeles police trying to corral a large group of rioters down the street dressed with cars on fire, smoke and debris. This riot was filmed in the 300 block Powell Street in the Downtown Eastside.
