I know you’re excited about Christopher Nolan’s upcoming movie, “Inception” because you saw the trailer, and now you’re hooked.  Also, that “Dark Knight” movie probably didn’t hurt.  But “Inception” is a project with its plot so under wraps that it feels weird to see set photos.  It’s far weirder to see the actual filming as some LA citizens did today and taped.  As far as I can tell from these brief clips of hand-held footage, “Inception” does not have positive commentary on commuting by car in Los Angeles as we see men shooting at cars and cars chasing each other.  Oh, and a train rolls through a city street.  And I’m talking about a tram or a monorail car.  It’s a real, cargo-hauling train.  You should just hit the jump now.  Trust me.

Also, here’s an LA Times article about prepping for the train to roll through the street. And here’s a funny paragraph regarding how security attempted to prevent unofficial video from leaking:

To keep media, particularly paparazzi, from sneaking into the set, security manned nearly every shop, building and parking structure from Main Street to Broadway and 6th to 8th streets. But that didn’t keep Angelenos from cutting through orange cones and production assistants to get to work, to visit nearby shops or to simply stop and take in the commotion.

Crack security team right there. I guess you can only find people who are bootlegging footage if it’s with night vision goggles in the middle of a darkened theater.

    Was recently in Tangiers but missed them shooting by an hour or two. Our guide took us to one set that they hadn’t finished taking down. It was dressed up like Mombasa…but all the signs were in English.

    The other set was just burned out car after burned out car. Both in old part of Tangier.

    Looks interesting enough, cant really make it out yet, and I hope it isnt just like another PUSH kinda film.
    Listen up Nolan…

    Michael Sheen = RIDDLER
    Timothy Spall = PENGUIN.

    Sort it out! And quick, need another Batflick soon!

    The last video brings to mind one thing immediatelly: HEAT (the bank robbery street shooting scene), I guess Chris Nolan really is heavily influeced by Michael Mann’s work (see The Dark Knight). If that’s the case, I can only expect nothing short of spectacular. Chris Nolan and Michael Mann are two of the greatest directors of our generation. But Chris Nolan is my favorite.
