Also notice the opening that looks like it was lifted from 'Soarin' Over California'

Originally Posted By DBitz2 I'm interested to see it because last summer they spent about a month prepping and filming for the movie right where I work in downtown LA. I work in one of the buildings in what is now called City National Plaza (formerly Arco Plaza). (Some of the season finale of Heroes was filmed there last season, too.) There is an empty building that used to be a bank in between the two towers at the plaza. They built a bank set inside. It was made to look like some sort of attack had been made on it. Everything messed up inside, doors and windows broken out, large bullet hits on the exterior, debris on the street, etc. They also made the buildings across the street on Figueroa to look like they had been all shot up. One day they had these huge cranes that I understand they used to fly Will and his stuntmen. Since the filming required shutting down several streets in the area, they did the filming on the weekends, so I didn't get to see any of the filming. I sort of wish now that I'd gone down one of the weekend days that they filmed. But, I did have to walk through the set every day to get to work. It was kind of surreal walking through a faux disaster zone every day! A few years back, when Wild, Wild West was in production, I did get to see Will working on that, as they were doing some effects work for it in a park near where I lived at the time, in the San Fernando Valley. Pretty cool. Oh, and I saw Will at Disneyland years ago when he was still up and coming. They were doing a radio show called Hangin' With Hollywood at Tomorrowland Terrace and he was a guest. Mark Walberg, still Marky Mark, was a guest another time. They both have sure come a long way since then!
