Alcatraz has been on the air for a few weeks now, so it is about bloody time I posted this video. It was shot before Christmas while I was on the west coast visiting the set of the J.J. Abrams drama. The series is produced in Vancouver at the same North Shore studios where The X Files once squatted.
The large jail house interior is three stories high with cells on either side. The main stars of the series– Parminder Nagra, Sarah Jones and Jorge Garcia as well as the always “charming” Sam Neill–took questions from a few reporters against a cave wall-like background in the command centre on the set. Alcatraz, which has drawn around the million viewer mark over three weeks so far in Canada, airs Mondays at 9/8c on Fox and City.
