Yesterday evening, at the peak of shopping rush hour, 'Torontonians' were taken by surprise when a horrific battle; guns, blood and explosions included; took place in the middle of the Eaton Centre. There were 3 deaths, 5 injuries and ten pounds of costume make-up.

The cause of the flashy commotion was nothing more than the filming of upcoming movie, "A Point of No Return." Specators of the madness were delighted to see Hollywood stars like Johnny Depp, Natalie Portman and Robert De Niro in action as they raced around the mall. Thomas Horn, who plays the protagonist in the film, was amazed by the experience of film at such a busy location. "The energy from the crowd as you fall, run or do anything is spectatular." Charlene Dennis, one of the many surprised shoppers explains how frightened she was. "It took me a few moments to realize that there were cameras everywhere. Once I realized what was going on, I was still frightened by how real their acting was."

The Eaton Centre is only the first stop in the seven-week filming session. Also on the list of future locations include the CN Tower and Nathan Phillips' Square. At each location, there will be a autograph signing session for spectators. There will even be an opportunity for spectators to play in the background as bystanders in the film.

'A Point of No Return' will be released on Earth Day 2013.
