Christopher Nolan and his cast and crew for Inception have once again crashed the streets of downtown L.A. for some weekend shooting. Just a couple blocks west of where they were last week, sprinkler systems have been placed high on nearby buildings to simulate rainfall, and a diesel locomotive has been parked close by. What is all this for? Well according to scene descriptions posted by Film L.A.:
EXTERIOR SEMI-AUTO LOAD GUNFIRE BEFORE 9:00 A.M. EXTERIOR AUTO, FULL LOAD GUNFIRE AFTER 9:00 A.M. Simulated car crash with train. Breaking glass. Simulated bullet effects on body and things. Atmospheric smoke effects. Weapons brandished. Driving scenes. Equipment on property, sidewalk, curb lane and across the street. Exterior dialogue. Occasional traffic and pedestrian control. Near hits & misses. Stunt driving. Process trailer. Rain effects. Wetting of the street. Camera car. Condor and crane. Generator. Picture vehicles. Scissor lifts.
BlogDowntown.com reports that actual shooting is limited to daytime hours, and a note distributed by the production company says there will be street closures for both days of filming. Inception is said to wrap production end of November/early December. Stick tuned for more updates.
