Executive-produced by Lorne Michaels, the 300-minute tentpole will be helmed by Canadian-Armenian director Atom Egoyan, whose 1994 heavy-breather Exotica remains the only film about sex ever to emerge from the Great White North (the triple-X-rated ouevres of Peter North and Brandon Iron excluded).
Rounding out the cast will be Donald Sutherland, as a retired member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police whose border-side empire of duty-free shops becomes an underground railroad for draft-dodging Americans; Celine Dion, as a militant Québécois separatist who cuts ties with Morissette after she takes up with Aykroyd’s Ottawan bureaucrat; and Mike Myers, in full Dr. Evil mode, as a poutine-munching French-Canadian terror-cell leader plotting to kill the Queen of England during a royal visit to the Chateau Frontenac.

Gross and McKellar? What about Lorne Green and Sarah Polley?
funny. However, this poster looks more like a Norman Jewison musical comedy from the mid-eighties. Gross maybe in a supporting role. Sarah Polly's pretty good. I'd pay good money to see William Shatner as a villanous Alberta/Saskatchewan oil man. Jim Carrey?
Ooh, the warm colours on that poster - they really have to shift it all towards blue if they want to do it up right . . ..
Seeing how 'American' our actors are, if you took away the title and the maple leaf I wonder if anyone outside Canada would think it was a Canadian show?
