Scene from a movie, bis

Maybe this beautiful weather we've been having is the reason for the movies currently being shot in town because on my way to check out a brocante, I ran into another scene being shot!  As always, curiosity won out and I stopped to look. This time though, I didn't recognize the two actors.  And unlike the last time, there wasn't anybody forthcoming enough to share any information.

Still and all, I managed to sneak in a few shots..

the male actor looking pensively into the background...

They were filming what seemed to be a heated discussion between the two with the girl storming off afterwards

I didn't recognize her either but she's extremely thin, the way most actresses are

Anybody know who they are?

As for the brocante, it was unfortunately not as interesting as others I've been to.  Fortunately there was another one much more interesting that I will tell you about in another post! Stay tuned!

Scene from a movie

 We were going to the BHV (Bazar de Hotel de Ville), a rather big all around department store to return some nails I'd bought (which were the wrong size!) when we were stopped by a young man with a serious mien (and headphones). I thought he was going to ask for directions, but no, we were asked to stop because they were about the film a scene on the street we were at.  It was then that I noticed the big cameras, lights and cables that littered the street.

This piqued my curiosity so I did what I was asked, all the while craning my neck to catch a glimpse of the scene. As far as I could tell, the action was taking place inside a pharmacie. Hmm...and since the first guy I asked was rather cagey about who was there, I crossed the street (the better to check out what was going on) and asked another person. This time, he was more forthcoming and he said they were shooting a film called Paris-Manhattan which was going to hit the theaters in Dec.

 I didn't actually expect to see anyone famous, but just as we were about to leave, the actors came out of the pharmacie. So the scene extended outside onto the street and I saw Patrick Bruel. He's a rather popular actor-singer, (at least with the girls), who projects an easy going charm in his appearances. Unfortunately my camera didn't quite capture his visage and all I got was this shot of him on his bike, as moves away from the pharmacie!

This is what he actually looks like....

Its funny what one encounters while running the most banal of errands. I wonder when I'm going to see Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Maybe while buying bread?
