The Philly Chit Chat blog was able to get additional shots (few examples below) that show an early stage of the Cafe set here. You can see a gallery here that shows additional French themed dressing around the set to help complete the picture of a lovely day in Paris. The blog reports that the site is being staged as the "Ecole Militaire", a station of the Paris Metro transit system.
The filming is expected to occur today and the blog reports that the area will probably be closed to the public.
I only hope it will look like a little more like REAL Paris and France, that what we've got in Armageddon, with the paved streets, the 2cv, etc... Which was some really bad parody of Paris !
ReplyDeleteAnd about the subway station "Ecole Militaire", it's really not far from the Eiffel tower. It's located at a crossroad, between the "Invalides" (wiki : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B4tel_des_Invalides) and the "Champs de Mars" (gardens, below the Eiffel Tower).
On this picture (http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1013/715486367_89724e59fb.jpg?v=0), taken from the Eiffel tower and showing the Champs de Mars, you can see at the very top of the frame, the "Ecole Militaire". And on left corner, the place where the subway is. Probably the place where they fake to be shooting at !
... That's all for Paris visit for today. Thank you ;)
Well as I promised there are many more videos that we took while they were shooting in Bethlehem we filmed all but two of them. go check it out they are awesome. There is even a video of Pyrotechnics, when they blew stuff up.

Does anyone know where they are filming on Friday (tomorrow)?
ReplyDeletedoes anyone know if it's worth going to today?
ReplyDeleteOn Friday, they are shooting at Eastern State Penitentiary.
ReplyDeletethey are filming down a small street tonight in the vacinity of rittenhouse
ReplyDeleteis anyone going to city hall or rittenhouse today/tonight?
ReplyDeleteI'm going in tonight. I will scope out all known locations and report back.
ReplyDeletedo u know if shia or megan will be there today or tomorrow at either?
ReplyDeletei would think only shia tonight because he's supposed to be on vacation there?
ReplyDeleteHis parents are supposed to be on vacation there
ReplyDeleteI just watched them film the "french" shots at city hall.Bumble Bee and a lime green car were there. I drove past the Richmond base camp and it was gone. Does anyone know where the new base camp is? I'm going to Rittenhouse square tonight where they are setting up a bunch of tents.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure there is a function in rittenhouse square tonight. " Friends of Rittenhouse" or something or other. There was one last night also. There will be tents for that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they replaced the rittenhouse scenes with the city hall location?
If anyone sees anything definitive in rittenhouse, please post it here.
That makes sense. I thought the tents were a little eloborate, even by "movie magic" standards.The city hall "french" scene involved a few explosions and a bunch of extras running about the court yard where they had the cafe tables set up. There are only 2 trucks in front of ESP right now and a few in front of city hall. Where's the new base camp?
ReplyDeleteThere's a small base camp @ 13th and Market with about 15 or so trucks and 2 actors trailers. No sign of the cars or the trailer that holds bumble bee.
ReplyDeleteWhen I walked by Rittenhouse earlier today, I definitely didn't see any sign of film crew trucks or trailers. There's some other event going on there today.
ReplyDeleteI think they are going to be around Rittenhouse and not necessarily in the park there. Pretty sure they are using one of the streets around there. I will let you know as I am headed in soon.
ReplyDeleteI fallowed a production truck from city hall to 13th and Walnut. They are setting up a scene there right now as of 7:OOpm
ReplyDeleteThey filmed on Chancellor street, between 12th and 13th. It was a scene of Sam's parents running from a building colapse. I have some cool photos and a video that I will email tomorrow. It was a fun night but man am I beat.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that I can earn a lot of rappelz gold.
