The filming of Stephen King’s novel-to-movie adaptation of It may be one of the most exciting and thrilling upcoming features for horror fans but it seems like Toronto residents aren’t exactly feeling the same way. In fact, they’re outright upset and have even voiced their frustrations by complaining to the city.

Local resident Nick Shcherban spoke with TheStar where he explained that the magnitude of activity outside his home is having a strong effect on the neighborhood and the community itself. “These (films) have been affecting the lives of the families in the neighbourhood. It looks like Universal Studios out there!” he exclaims.

On top of having issues with how busy the street is, Shcherban explains that the levels of noise and the amount of lights being used, not to mention the crew walking everywhere and cars being parked willy-nilly, are in violation of city bylaws, which has caused film commissioner Zaib Shaikh to speak up.

“Staff from the City’s Toronto Film, Television and Digital Media Office, have met with one resident regarding their concerns and have advised them that we have been working with the production company to ensure that all public filming regulations are abided by. We will continue to work with all concerned to ensure that this film production causes the minimum of disruption,” Shaikh wrote in an email to the site.

However, not everyone is upset by what’s going on. Paul Rutledge, a local resident, gushed, “I think it’s fantastic, great for Riverdale! I think it benefits us all.”

Cheers, Paul. You’re a good one!
