The filming of movie action sequences has been restricted by authorities in Paris following last month’s attacks in the French capital.<\/p>\n
“There’s a problem with these action-type scenes, as the actors in uniform could be targets for terrorists,” said police commander Sylvie Barnaud.<\/p>\n
“Also, the actors could pose confusion for the general public – during this highly sensitive period.”<\/p>\n
She said the use of fake weapons and pyrotechnic effects were also banned.<\/p>\n
Tensions remain high following the attacks in January which left 20 people dead, including three gunmen. Armed police and soldiers continue to guard sensitive sites, including synagogues, media offices and large shopping areas.<\/p>\n
Commander Barnaud said she did not know how long the filming ban could last, but added it was common sense: “I was shocked to hear witnesses of the Charlie Hebdo attacks say on television ‘it seemed like a movie shoot to us'”.<\/p>\n
