On Monday, August 17th, Inception will be filming around the Pont de Bir-Hakeim, a bridge that crosses the Seine River in Paris, France. Scenes will likely involve Ellen Page’s character, a graduate student studying in Paris. Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Caine are also likely to be in the shoot, since they were both present for filming that took place at the University College London library that was altered to imitate the Bibliotheque of the Ecole de Architecture in France. We are also suspecting that Joesph Gordon-Levitt will be a part of these scenes too. He’s been tweeting in French.
Once filming in Paris is complete, the global production will move on to Los Angeles in early September and Calgary in November. Â Filming will also take place in Tangier, Morocco sometime before production wraps in December. Posted below are some photographs of the Pont de Bir-Hakeim.

I wonder how scenes from Paris and Los Angeles will look in one film
I mean they are pretty different cities. But that makes the movie interesting

I don’t really understand what’s happening in the last picture. What’s that glowing stripe above the bridge?

Thanks Jake. Date fixed.
DHOPW42, there’s like a monorail type thing that goes over the bridge.

I am dying with anticipation.
I assume that means no scenes from Paris in the teaser, right? haha.

Who knows, there are still 6 days till the premiere of Tarantino’s ilm, so if they’re quick enough then maybe they can put scenes from Paris in the teaser…

The bridge of bir-hakeim was already seen in the movie “Last Tango in Paris” with Marlon Brando.
On top of the bridge there is an underground line (the “metro”)passing. That is the glowing stripe above the bridge.
