here are some pictures from the Building that used in the Tower Series in Paris (le Totem) (in the 90´s the Hotel at the Building was Hotel Nikko,still Benkay Restaurant there ?? )





this Building was a good Choice Pierre ,like the TWO Maniac murders (David Perry,Frank Versace)

I was leaving on top of this tower few years and then I went to another one with better view on Eiffel Tower, where I'm still leaving after 16 years ...
The benkay is still there and still very good ...

Pierre did you have a contract or like this for the Shoots in this building ? Is it or was a business building ? The police is real in the BTS (with you in handclaffs) ?

sorry for asking again. I think the whole Series are synchronized,how are the real voices in the sex scenes. Ok I know the most girls cant speak Eng. or French... But during Sex Scenes no one needs Language,true ?

Merci

Yes the cops was real, some friends of mine ...
I had a law suit with the "syndic" of this building. At first they can't do nothing but finaly they won because they pretend by showing the security cameras in my film I have put in danger the community. But everybody can see those camera with their eyes !!!
The justice is just stupid ... In fact I did the best publicity ever for this beautiful building, after that many people wanted found out where was the flat I used for the shooting and to buy it. This has contribute to make the price higher, they must have suck my dick instead to sue me and had taken 250 000 french Francs from my pocket !!!
The best of the story, that the president of the tower syndic ( still today ), a woman, has a husband very important in the past at Canal + channel. This man asked me the 3 volumes of the tower and one day, few years after the film was already sale, is wife found it in her house. Then she did a scandal and pushed the others for a law suit but she never said from where she has got all the films !!!
Anyway, I don't care, the people are so stupid in this world ...

Hi Pierre , Happy New Year
This I just found in www ,its from 2005 (some Informations) from this site
http://www.privatecommunity.com/showthr ... cf770e4b29

So... Private must have deleted their censored DVD editions of 'The Tower' and its sequels after an executive decision at Tour Totem made it clear that the association with adult entertainment created by Woodman's unauthorised filming wasn't welcome and could result in legal action - ??? Naughty Pierre...!!! (The real collectors' items are the uncensored VHS versions of 'The Tower' 1-3, but if anyone is keen to get hold of the subsequent DVD editions, please see my tip-off about an internet retailer who still had them in stock a couple of weeks ago when I made my order. The DVDs were shipped promptly. Details are posted in the thread, 'THE TOWER'. Incidentally... does anyone remember the hardcore vignette which Woodman filmed under The Eiffel Tower for one of the classic video ranges...? It was a night-time shoot in the freezing cold, and the cast and crew had to dodge the cops during filming! Woodman must have made that scene at about the same time as he shot 'The Tower'.)

Little does Tour Totem know that Private's removal of 'The Tower' from its catalogue has resulted in a fascination with the movie among forum regulars and a free 'plug' for the hotel in this thread!!!! Perhaps it would be better business sense for Tour Totem to 'cash in' on the cult status of 'The Tower', rather than to suppress the link. In fact, the hotel sounds like an appropriate venue for a forum get-together and some serious squabbling over a pizza order!!! (See 'Hottest Front Page Star?' in the 'Private Stars' area.) On the other hand, maybe we'd all be better off in Mako's hotel in Budapest, breakfasting with beautiful girls cast by Christoph Clark!!

Just out of interest... Does Private now have a policy of gaining up-front permission to film at all of the locations it uses - or does the adventurous practice of surreptitious porno shoots continue? Presumably the threat of legal action if permission hasn't been obtained can have costly consequences - as in this case of the deletion of an entire trilogy?

OK there is wrong things here !!!

1) I had to paid a lot of money but Private didn't get any problem and the law suit never request to take of the VHS tape, just to punish me to have show inside the movie the security control places !!!

2) It doesn't exist a full version of the Towers trilogy in DVD ... but I think in future you'll get it here !!!

Thanks for that Info Pierre. Here some Pics of VHS covers (German Version 90s Original Uncut)





Just for Fans of Tower Series
Ps: Pierre, of course you know FRANTIC 1988 (Roman Polanski) ,(Love Emanuelle Seigner) great Movie shoot in Paris. Theres some locations from your TOWER. What you think about this Movie ?
Thanks

Yes it's a good movie like most of Polansky film, just him was very bad with me once, so I don't see him and her with the same eyes like before knowing them ...
