Here’s what’s recent on the filming location for Remarkably Bright Creatures.
- Primary filming location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Deep Cove area in North Vancouver was used to stand in for Sowell Bay Aquarium exterior scenes, and the real Vancouver Aquarium was used for interior aquarium sequences. This is widely reported across entertainment outlets in May 2026.
- Additional BC locations: Lions Bay (between Vancouver and Squamish) and Maple Ridge also served as shooting sites, with principal photography wrapping in spring 2025.
- Notable on-set details: A real Giant Pacific Octopus was filmed at the Vancouver Aquarium to supplement CGI effects in the film.
If you’d like, I can pull exact address details or provide a quick map of the BC filming spots.
