[edit] Hollywood films famously not filmed in Winnipeg

• Legends of the Fall (1994) – The film's producers wanted to use Winnipeg's Exchange District, renowned for its wealth of turn of the century-era warehouses and office buildings, for scenes taking place in Helena, Montana. This plan was scuttled when several residents, and later city government, objected to the film crew's desire to remove several dozen trees growing along the sidewalks. Even though Tri-Star offered to replant and/or replace the trees after wrapping, they were rebuffed [1].
