Yep, a hell of a lot about France in the book, given that the Nazis looted Jeu de Paume, the Louvre, Chartres Cathedral............I could go on. Really worth getting the book, and Cate Blanchett will definitely be involved in shooting, to name but on!. A lot of what happened there tended to be in the Spring/Autumn.
Hope this helps

don't have anymore info than you do but I was thinking, as they'll be shooting for a few month over Europe, it would just be cool for him to show up in Normandie for D DAY ! I mean they are going to be shooting right in the middle of the celebrations for the 8th of May. I'm not sure how this can be useful to the movie though... not so sure about Paris : the setting is the Louvre, the Jeu de Paume, and there's not much chance they are goiçng to close those for a shooting... then again, he's George Clooney

Wonder if he's doing a cameo in MM - a few things would make sense if that was so.

As far as Channing being in MM...PLEASE GOD NO!!!!! The guy seems like a very nice person but I just don't get the hullaballoo for Mr. Tatum. He plays the same character--himself--in every movie and I just can't get into his look. He's stiff and even when he's really toned, he reminds me of the pillbury dough boy. (Please don't hit me Tatum fans!!!!!!!)
OofOof- Clooney-love. And they said it wouldn't last

Yes ! Since he writes I always kind of hope he would actually write the lyrics for a main song in one of his movies !! So I like this idea. Besides I'm not difficult, I'm not expecting him to sing, or play, or compose... no no just the lyrics, he sure can do it

Re: George Clooney to Direct, Star In 'Monuments Men' About Stolen Nazi Art (Exclusive)
by Adam Chitwood
Production has commenced on George Clooney’s fifth feature directorial effort, the action-thriller The Monuments Men. The Columbia Pictures/20th Century Fox co-production tells the true story of an unlikely World War II platoon made up of museum directors, curators, and art historians tasked by FDR with going into Germany and rescuing artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves before they are lost forever. Clooney directs, stars in, and produces the film alongside his Smokehouse Productions partner Grant Heslov, with whom he also co-wrote the script. Moreover, Clooney has assembled a truly remarkable cast that includes Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, John Goodman, and Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey).
Unfortunately Daniel Craig is not listed as part of the cast in the official press release, so it appears that he may have dropped out of the film. Hit the jump for more, including the full press release.
Even if Clooney and Heslov weren’t just coming off a Best Picture win (they produced Argo), this film would still be a major player in this year’s coming awards race. More importantly, though, Monuments Men just sounds like a hell of a good time. Clooney reunites with composer Alexandre Desplat and director of photography Phedon Papamichael (The Ides of March) on the pic, which has a pretty long production schedule planned.
Filming will take place in Germany and the United Kingdom through the end of June, at which point Clooney moves right into starring in Brad Bird’s mysterious project Tomorrowland. The Monuments Men hits theaters on December 18, 2013. Read the full press release below.
BERLIN, Ger., March 5, 2013 – Columbia Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox announced today that The Monuments Men, a Smokehouse production directed by and starring George Clooney, has started production in Berlin, Germany. The action-thriller is written by Clooney & Grant Heslov, based on the book by Robert M. Edsel with Bret Witter. Clooney and Heslov also produce the film through their Smokehouse Productions. It is their first production since winning the Academy Award® for Best Picture for their work on Argo. Barbara A. Hall is executive producer. The Monuments Men is a co-production with Germany’s Siebente Babelsberg Film GmbH, a subsidiary of Studio Babelsberg AG. Charlie Woebcken, Christoph Fisser and Henning Molfenter serve as co-producers. Sony Pictures will release the film domestically, with Twentieth Century Fox handling international territories.
The all-star cast includes Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville, and John Goodman.
Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men focuses on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys – seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 – possibly hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind’s greatest achievements.
Clooney’s crew on The Monuments Men includes director of photography Phedon Papamichael, ASC, Oscar®-nominated production designer Jim Bissell, Academy Award®-winning editor Stephen Mirrione, A.C.E., costume designer Louise Frogley, and five-time Oscar® nominated composer Alexandre Desplat.
The Monuments Men continues filming in Germany and the United Kingdom through the end of June. It is scheduled for domestic release on December 18, 2013.

Would be very surprised if the Main Man on MM hasn't allowed himself some time in one of his favourite places - even if a lot of it is spent working on editing
