I think Toronto needs to be a major presence in a good hit hollywood movie- that's the ultimate marketing. But yeh I think marketing ourselves better in adds is a big part of it, but it is also helpful to have attractions that are a little different or a little more unique that can be marketed. The ROM and AGO extensions will definitely help add to the appeal. Ontario place needs a major makeover or at least some sort of interesting addition, it hasn't really changed much in decades. A casino would help attract people from buffalo but I doubt people will be flying from Chicago, SanFranciso or Nebraska to play the slots. I think the waterfront has great potential still, and it's great that they're at least starting to make some inroads there.
The Incredible Hulk is being filmed in Toronto but I'm pretty sure that they are trying to mask them selves as a New York setting as many others in the past. It's strange how films that intentionally and for the main part are set in Toronto tend not to be successful in the US market.
