A couple of assorted updates too big to squeeze into the News Bites section today, mostly to do with location shooting related information:
<strong>Ocean's Twelve</strong>
Matt Damon called into Boston-area radio station WBCN 104.1 FM and said that all European location photography for "Ocean's Twelve" has finished, and they're heading to LA for soundstage set photography for the next month. The fact that he has two more movies after O12 has put a dampener on plans to co-write a screenplay with Ben Affleck, along with reducing his participation in the next "Project Greenlight" series.
<strong>Mission: Impossible III</strong>
German newspapers and news agency DPA have confirmed that shooting for "Mission: Impossible 3" will take at Studio Babelsberg Berlin starting in August. Tom Cruise's company has booked two stages at the studio. Coincidentally, Charlize Theron will shoot her sci-fi production "Aeon Flux" in Babelsberg starting from mid August.
<strong>The Grudge</strong>
The IMDb reports that Sarah Michelle Gellar is heading back to Japan to shoot more scenes with her castmates for the upcoming thriller "The Grudge". From January onwards, the former "Buffy" beauty spent three months in Tokyo making the feature. No word on how long these reshoots will take.
<strong>Leon 2 (aka The Professional 2)</strong>
Whilst out promoting "Garden State", Natalie Portman was asked by Coming Soon about whether she would ever consider doing a sequel:"I would do any film that Luc Besson directed. If he directed it, I would do it...but he hasn't asked me, because that's not anything that's real. You just made that movie up."
