A few weeks ago, we heard that the Inception crew was packing their bags and heading north to a snow fortess in Kananaskis, Canada. The image that we saw earlier of this “abandoned ski hill” reminded some of us about the mountainous locations in Batman Begins. Anyways, we’ve been pretty clueless as to what has been happening up in Canada mainly because they’ve deployed a 24/7 security team around the filming location’s perimeter. The Calgary Herald reports that, that atop this snow mountain, Christopher Nolan wants the entire cast to learn to ski.
“He wanted all of the actors that were involved here, (Nolan) wanted them to learn to ski,” says Matt Mosteller, a professional ski coach and vice-president of marketing and sales for Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, which owns Nakiska, as well as B.C. resorts Fernie and Kimberley.
“He’s super detail-oriented . . . (Nolan) wants everything right. If you’re portraying it, you’ve got to be able to do it.”
Exactly how much of the movie involves high-speed ski chase scenes with automatic weapons will likely remain a mystery until its release next year.

I smell a ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ reference.

This movie involves so unconnected things. A train, skiing, dreams, mirrors, gravity. I don’t understand.

Reminds me of The Spy Who Loved Me.

Oh, and there’s going to be at least one avalanche according to the article. Awesome.

Just think boys and girls. what in the world are they filming up there right now? It’s giving me goosebumps just wondering about it.

Last week the ski hill was shaking as teams working on the ground exploded avalanche bombs above Lizard Bowl, setting off avalanches while being filmed by a film crew in a helicopter.
