Meryl Streep is shooting a movie in the street below my office, some action
scene where her character (real-life US cook Julia Child) is buying
potatoes. The production has cordoned off the streets, the shops have been
painted over for a grim post-WW2 look and incredibly-French-looking extras
in heavy period clothes are walking around. All the chaos is orchestrated
from a little black tent in the middle of the street where Nora Ephron and
her staff watch the video monitors.
And I don't have a digicam with me, grrrrrrr. If they still shoot tomorrow
I'll try to get some pictures.

That would be pretty cool to see. Never seen a full-on movie shoot -- don't get
too many of them in these parts. When Jack Nicholson was in town to shoot
"About Schmidt", my Better Half got to sneak onto the set for a couple of hours
and watched Jack ham it up between takes...

When I went to have lunch with Gilles, I did some shopping on that
street(if he hasn't moved). It is exactly what you would picture a
Paris market to look like.

So, with some mild coincidence, this shoot is going on outside my
apartment at this very moment. So I did have a camera available, but
not a clue what it is all about.

Here it's usually quite easy to figure out: all the movie trucks have a
piece of paper under the windscreen with the name of the movie, the name of
the director, the length of the shoot and other details. In the case of the
"Julie and Julia" shoot there was even the license plate numbers of the
personal trailers of Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci. Also, the team had
T-shirts with then name of the movie on it... Too bad the shoot lasted just
one day :( Everything was back to the 21th century at 8pm at the end of the
day.

Wow, super-sleuth, I've got to look for that now.

hmmmm, that's a little harder to picture happening here.

Mildly on a different track, it was pretty spooky when I went to work at
Warner Brothers for a TV show. Had to show up in person a few times. The
first time I get there, I have this amazingly powerful sense of Deja Vu.
I *know* I've been in here before.
It turns out that bits of Roger Rabbit were shot there. In particular,
when the sleuth bumps into the fantasia hippos coming up the stairs and
makes the movers drop the crate of musical toon instruments? That
stairway on the yellowish buildings is where I was working.
Was kind of cool, when I realized where I'd seen it before.

The movie was about actors, so, yeah, some scenes were shot in the movie
studio of the company making the movie.
