Air America beta radio has mentioned last friday an unauthorized documentary about Leonardo DiCaprio’s life.You’re probably wondering, “What is this, the 90s?” In a way, yes. All of the footage featured in “Hangin’ With Leo” looks like it’s from the late 1990s, when DiCaprio was riding the wave of “Titanic” ending up on “The Beach.” If you would like [...]
Chris Nolan’s Inception Comes To London
Posted By melissa on July 18th, 2009
Forget about Batman 3 folks, seriously you’ll be much happier if you do, because Batman director Chris Nolan is currently working on another little gem for Warner Bros - Inception - and Inception has come to London!
The star studded project features Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe and Michael Caine and is currently being described as “contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.”
The film crew have been spotted in and around the prestigious University College London shooting “Oliver’s Arrow”, which is the codename that Inception is currently shooting under. According to a source on the IMDB boards:
The film crew for “Oliver’s Arrow” today invaded UCL’s Wilkins building to film some scenes in various locations within the Main Library. Michael Caine, Leonardo di Caprio and Ellen Page were on location filming scenes in what had been dressed up (with fake signage) to be the “Bibliotheque” of the “Ecole de Architecture” in France.
From what I could gather from the scene being shot in the Flaxman Gallery (I couldn’t hear much), Leonardo di Caprio’s character was being introduced to a graduate student named Ariadne (played by Ellen Page) by Michael Caine’s character, who tells Ariadne that Leo’s character has a job offer for her. (That wasn’t too confusing)
Other scenes were being shot in a lecture theatre and a reading a room and some of the library’s corridors.
Michael Caine looked like he was playing a similar character to the one he always plays lately, Ellen Page looked like a plucky young student, and Leo di Caprio just looked moody and “focussed” (toying with the toothpick-in-between-the-teeth look).
The source has also said that filming was one day only, and so is not thought to include any big scenes. I have to admit that I have very high hopes for this production, I wasn’t a huge fan of The Prestige (shot between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight) but this is looking very promising. If Warners have handed over a $200 million budget as recently reported, then they obviously they’re of the same mind.
What do you think? Expecting big things from Nolan or is this film already falling victim to over-hype?
