Shooting of Action Movies restricted in Paris

The filming of movie action sequences has been restricted by authorities in Paris following last month's attacks in the French capital.

"There's a problem with these action-type scenes, as the actors in uniform could be targets for terrorists," said police commander Sylvie Barnaud.

"Also, the actors could pose confusion for the general public - during this highly sensitive period."

She said the use of fake weapons and pyrotechnic effects were also banned.
