Paris Vandalism

The run-down area of Les Bosquets de Montfermeil in Paris, France was to be used for scenes in the spy thriller. In October 2008, ten stunt cars were burned prior to filming. The set was moved to a new location in a safer area. Xavier Lemoine, the town's mayor, stated, "It's a real shame. The project should have been gratifying and valuable for everyone."²
