There’s no biz like snow biz.

Just ask Jim Sheridan.

The Irish director is bringing his psychological thriller Dream House back to Toronto in March 2011 for reshoots because it didn’t snow when cameras first rolled on the Universal Pictures feature last winter.

“And the entire movie is set in a snow storm,” Sheridan told Playback Daily.

“We kept looking out the window and wondering when it would snow. And meanwhile in Connecticut, where the movie is set, they had three feet of snow from January to March,” he recalled.

The additional footage was to be shot this week in Toronto, just in time for the city’s first major snowfall of the year.

But Dream House producer Morgan Creek Productions couldn’t get the movie’s leads, Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz (pictured), away from their current acting gigs at the same time, and Naomi Watts is in Thailand.

With the reshoot now postponed to March 2011 in Toronto, Sheridan got a chance to conduct a Canadian Film Centre workshop on screenwriting over the weekend at the Whistler Film Festival.

He said the additional footage required is mostly shots out of car windows and footprints.

Why not digitally paint snow footprints? Sheridan said they tried, but couldn’t get it right.

And a solution for last January’s snow-less set came too late for Sheridan when he recently screened Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.

“He added real (footprint) footage, and someone explained to me that Stanley Kubrick did it with salt,” the Dream House director said.
