As Christopher Nolan’s Inception continues filming in Los Angeles, these images keep rolling in. The following images were taken yesterday, Sunday, October 4, 2009.
Earlier this week we learned that, although, Inception won’t be filmed in IMAX, Inception will be released in IMAX theaters along with the film’s wide release on July 16th, 2010.
Inception will be wrapping production at end of November / early December. Stick tuned for more updates.

In a recent interview with Collider.com, Ellen Page discussed what it was like working with Christopher Nolan and urged fans to not seek out Inception spoilers.
Collider: Are you still filming Inception?
Ellen Page: Yeah, it’s still going.
Collider: Is that a six month shoot?
Ellen: It’s about a five month shoot. We’re having a blast. We’ve shot in a lot of different places so it kind of feels like you know you do your England leg and then your France and then we were in Morocco and now we’re in L.A. It is a blast and I’m having so much fun. Working with Chris Nolan is a dream. He’s amazing to work with and a lovely guy. There is no ego at all. He’s just a filmmaker. You know what I mean. And that is totally obvious in his films. He’s an incredible filmmaker…but working with him is such a pleasure and often me and the other cast members will reflect on just how excited we are just to be in his movie. I feel like a little kid.
Collider: I saw on YouTube a train going through downtown Los Angeles.
Ellen: My lips are sealed.
Collider: It looked very cool.
Ellen: Just don’t try and find out more. Just love it when it comes out in July. It’s going to be really cool.
After starting off in places like Japan, England, France and Morocco, filming on Christopher Nolan’s Inception as finally made its way to the United States – Los Angeles to be exact. FadedYouthBlog.com (via Flynet) and Pacific Coast News Online posted some pictures from filming today in the city.
We found out in early August that the crew would be filming in Los Angeles on Thursday, September 3rd, Friday, September 4th, and Wednesday through Friday, September 9th through the 11th. Address: 1745 E 7th St, Los Angeles. We also heard they may be filming around N. Spring St from College St- Baker St.
UK Press outlet The Press Association recently managed to squeeze some comments from Joseph Gordon-Levitt about working on Inception.
It’s so great. I am just really honored and grateful to be working for Mr. Nolan. He has such integrity and what’s really cool about Inception is that he’s getting to make this enormous movie that’s just his own brainchild, just his own idea that he wrote out of his head. I’ve looked up to Leonardo DiCaprio ever since I was very little. He was an actor at a young age, always doing it with such integrity and sincerity. So much of what happens in Hollywood is for all the wrong reasons. That guy does it because he loves it and believes in the art and the craft of it, which shows in his work and his choices. It’s something I have always aspired to and to get to work with him and be in scenes with him is really special.
When pressed to talk specifics about Inception, JGL responded by noting “It’s really important to Chris that nothing about the specifics about the story are revealed before people get to see the movie.”
Until earlier this week, we’ve been completely lost in the dark when it comes to details concerning Christopher Nolan’s Inception. While we are still, very much, lost in the dark, we are starting to see the first rays of light transverse the horizon.
Inception has been filming in Paris all this week and we’ve been hit with a tidal wave of photos. One image, in particular, is a shot of a Call Sheet for the cast. Bonus: it lists character names. Ellen Page is Ariadne, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Arthur, Tom Hardy is Eames, Ken Watanabe is Saito, Dileep Rao is Yusef, Cillian Murphy is Fischer, Tom Berenger is Browning. Leo DiCaprio’s name is missing from the list, but we’re assuming that the name Cobb refers to him. The name Cobb is listed in the first cast slot and character slot.

As we had previously announced, Inception is filming in Paris today around the Pont de Bir-Hakeim. We have obtained six photos of the shoot. Leo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, and Marion Cotillard are pictured here, as well as, Christopher Nolan, Wally Pfister, and a few other crew members. Whatever they were filming earlier today, it looked as if there were a several extras involved too.
