Smashed vehicles, chunks of fallen concrete, burned out cars and rubble scattered on the streets downtown - New Westminster was like a war zone on the weekend.
But it wasn't because of a wild night of partying. Instead, the world was being saved from the King of the Monsters.
Godzilla was in town - filmmakers were recreating the city to look like San Francisco after an attack from the fiend.
"It's a remake of Godzilla," explains Jenny Cashin, who owns Mid Century Modern Home in River Market.
Cashin pulled out her cameras to record the wreckage for the film shoot that closed Columbia Street from Begbie Street to McBride Boulevard on Saturday and Sunday evening.
Cashin expects there will be more filming coming up this weekend on Front Street, which she said is slated to be closed on June 16.
City Coun. Jonathan Cote, who lives in a tower just above where filming was happening, took some pictures of the mayhem outside his home.
The movie is expected to open next spring and be presented in 3D. For more photos, go to www.royalcityrecord.com
