‘A Second Chance at Love’ Was Filmed in Canada
“A Second Chance at Love” was filmed in Canada, mostly around the Vancouver region, Parade reported. According to IMDb, the movie was filmed under the working title, “I Do Again.” According to a listing on UBCP/ACTRA’s film and production list, the movie was filmed from January 22-February 9 in Canada. A listing by the Film & Television Industry Alliance confirms it was filmed in the Vancouver region.
In early February, Reuben shared this photo and wrote, “Just wrapped a long day of filming and my hair is so happy to be free from the wig! Love my natural curls!!”
On January 24, she shared photos she took from her hotel room and said she couldn’t yet divulge what she was working on. (This was right before the big announcement was made.)
On February 13, August shared this photo and said Reuben was her “wonderful co-star.”
La Salle said that even though he’s been focused on directing and writing, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make this movie with Reuben and reunited on screen.
Reuben wrote, “It’s wonderful to join the Hallmark family and to reunite with Eriq after so many years, especially in a completely different genre of storytelling!”
She wrote in reply to a comment, “It’s been wonderful working together again 💕”
She and La Salle have done numerous news appearances as they get ready for the movie’s premiere.
