From Dark Horizons:

'Sprinter' has a pretty cool report from the set of the Roland Emmerich sci-fi thriller: "I'm from Montreal and filming here will take place from November 7th to March. They are using Mel's Studios, the most prominent film studios in Montreal, and have a budget of around $100 million. In total there are to be 155 filming days. I looked up at the wardrobe section and their schedule and saw some set location details - a NASA refugee camp is being considered, Wall Street and Times Square will all be frozen over for other scenes. CGI wise they will either be using an outside source or local talent. Roland Emmerich (very cool dude) and his wife have both arrived in Montreal and are excited to start filming. On the posterboard of the production company several interesting pictures were up. One caught my eye was a CGI effect of the Statue of Liberty encased with CGI ice".
