I’m sure the 10 times as big is only slightly exaggerated. The first film cost an estimated $150 million, and if Fox’s claims were literally true, the sequel would cost $1.5 billion. But speaking of exotic locations… [location spoiler warning]
The Philadelphia City Hall has been transformed into a Cafe in France. The scene apparently involves Sam’s parents Ron and Judy Witwicky (played by Kevin Dunn and Julie White) as they are on vacation in Paris. This is actually the first confirmation of White’s return. The Philly Chit Chat Blog was able to get a few shots of the set. The signs read “Ecole Militaire”, which is a military school. It now hosts the Collège Interarmées de Defense (Joint Defense College) and the Institut des Hautes Études de la Défense Nationale (IHEDN, Institute of High Studies of National Defense).
