Tom Green Feels Freezer Burn in Edmonton

According to Playback, principal photography on Freezer Burn: The Invasion of Laxdale (starring Tom Green), has commenced in Edmonton:
In Freezer Burn, Martians want to transform Earth into a time-share and construct crop circles to up the temperature and turn the planet into a tropical hot spot -- much to the detriment of humanity.

Director and cowriter Grant Harvey -- who directed Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning, is bullish on the new film's prospects. "I think what will set this film apart [from other Canadian sci-fi comedies] is our real star power, as opposed to just putting someone in with marquee value to a distributor or a funder, but who doesn't hold the attention of an independent audience," he says.

The acting muscle comes from Green (Freddy Got Fingered), who steps out of his long-established clown shoes into a dimwitted, straight-man role. The villain is played by cult favorite Crispin Glover (Willard).
Apparently the crop circles created for the film are creating quite a commotion outside of the city! Should be a fun film to see.
