John Weir's offices
“- Corporate espionage is a dirty way to get rich.
Josephine Madi (Enid Graham) and John Weir (Kiefer Sutherland)
– I’m not a spy.
– Manipulating people to influence markets is what then?
– Consulting.“
Although the action of the series Rabbit Hole is set in New York, the shooting took place in Toronto. The city has undergone several changes to resemble the American megalopolis. Rabbit Hole gave Kiefer Sutherland the opportunity to return to the city in which he grew up.
A Star Returns Home
The son of actor Donald Sutherland and actress Shirley Douglas, Kiefer Sutherland spent much of his childhood in Toronto, where he attended St. Michael’s College. These include St. Andrew’s College, Martingrove Collegiate Institute, Harbord Collegiate Institute and Malvern Collegiate Institute.
Several times during his career, the actor had the opportunity to shoot in Toronto but rarely for such a long time. The shooting of the first season of Rabbit Hole took place over several weeks.
An almost anonymous building
The building the production chose to house the offices of Kiefer Sutherland’s character John Weir’s company is located in downtown Toronto on Adelaide Street.
Built in brick, it houses a copy store on the first floor. A business that the teams in charge of the sets did not bother to make up. The surrounding stores were not hidden either, even if several signs and other elements evoking New York were installed to transform Adelaide Street into a Big Apple street. What about the explosion? It was completely realized in computer generated images and thus did not cause any damage in the city.
A star of espionage
Once again at the helm of a major series after 24 and Designated Survivor, Kiefer Sutherland told Screenrant about his role in Rabbit Hole: “I love the genre. It’s my favorite, and clearly I got a big dose of it with 24.. But just as a kid growing up, those were the movies that I wanted to watch. I got a call from John and Glenn, who were interested in developing a show that was going to harken back to The Three Days of the Condor and Marathon Man – films like that, and those were the films that I really grew up on and fell in love with.”
The first season of Rabbit Hole has 8 episodes.
379 Adelaide St W
In the heart of downtown Toronto, this office building stands out thanks to its red bricks, in contrast to the more modern buildings of the surroundings.
Offering commercial space located on the ground floor, the building at 379 Adelaide Street in Toronto is mainly composed of offices occupied by various companies. It is located on Adelaide Street, a street named for Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, the wife of King William IV. It has been the subject of several extensions over the years. The most recent dating back to 1965, when the street joined Duke Street. It is currently very busy because of its many shops.
