Warner Bros. feature film “Paris Paramount” is proposing to film some exterior scenes at 514 N. Alta Drive and 512 N. Alta Drive. Scenes involve some exterior dialogue and an artificial movie set.
The film is directed by Nancy Meyers and stars Kieran Culkin, Penelope Cruz, Owen Wilson, and Jude Law, among others. Like Nancy’s other films, “Something’s Gotta Give”, “It’s Complicated” and “The Holiday”, it is a warm comedic film set against the background of a group of people making a film.
