Director Aram Rappaport wants to shut down Chicago for five days to shoot a 100-minute film that will take place over a single take.
It sounds like a cool project, but Wired blogger John Scott Lewinski doesn't seem to know its full history.
Rappaport might be the first non-Russian to accomplish such a feat in a major production, although Hitchock, as usual, receives notice for trying it first in 1948.

In the Orson Welles classic Touch of Evil, the director's opening scene was a long, elaborate tracking shot famed for its intricate choreography. The feat was later duplicated in Goodfellas and The Player.
Writer/director Aram Rappaport is taking the idea and blowing it up for his new thriller, Helix.
