The Dark Knight Filming:news/pics etc..

[fabman]

Yeah, very nice! And set pics! :D

[Retroman]

Yeah, very nice! And set pics! :D

People will go crazy over pics of crew trucks and trailers.lol

[fabman]

LOL. Yeah, that's true, and Batmobiles in Chicago :ninja::D

Anyway, they're currently filming in London (Leavesden Studios), Bedfordshire (Cardington hangar) and Hertfordshire.

LOL. Yeah, that's true, and Batmobiles in Chicago :ninja::D

Anyway, they're currently filming in London (Leavesden Studios), Bedfordshire (Cardington hangar) and Hertfordshire (I think that's where 'Wayne Manor' is but I could be wrong, though).

Wayne Manor is Mentmore Towers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentmore_Towers) in Buckinghamshire.

[fabman]

Thx! Did they do anything in Hertfordshire for 'Batman Begins'?

Jett over at BOF is saying Nolan is in Chicago

Uh, that doesn't take you to Batman on Film, but the Bank of Fayetteville, Arkansas. :cwink:

[dima]

I've pretty much said that I'm talking the responsibility for my posting the pic and info in the first place. But the fact that I had to sit in my boss's office today and explain myself... and the fact that I had to permanently delete my livejournal account really irks me. I'm not blaming, I'm just venting.

Worst. Day. Ever.

[odiin]

Wha? Permanently delete your livejournal? What kind of crap is that??

[dima]

Well... when hundreds of people know the address to your private blog... including Warner Bros. Including your own boss... You've got nothing left but to delete it.

[kenellard]

I keep checking now and again, and yep, this thread still sounds like an episode of shark

[dima]

I wish that was a complement. But I've seen Shark. It's not a compliment.

:(

[kenellard]

I could've also gone for boston legal. But yeah, they should just call it "the james woods show" instead and get over it

[odiin]

You can't really be surprised that they found out that it was you though, I mean Batman IS the world's greatest detective, after all, an apparently he's gets quite angry when people mess with his car. and I thought Superman had a reputation for being a dick (http://www.superdickery.com).

[dima]

I was actually surprised. Maybe I'm gullible, but I did not foresee this thing going the way it did. I thought it would be like 3-4 people on my friend's list reading it... man. God I'm an IDIOT. All I had to do was make it a friend's only post.

[odiin]

It's okay, were it me (or probably anyone here) I wouldn't have just stuck it in my livejournal, I would have flaunted it EVERYWHERE. Plus you got instant respect from all the bat fans here, although that accounts for less than dirt, but oh well... Well there IS one positive that might help you through the day:

Dude... you got to see the freaking Batmobile! Up close and presonal, how friggin' cool is that? It wasn't just some wiener everyman-vehicle it was the B-A-T-M-O-B-I-L-E!!!!!

That work?

[dima]

Yeah... it was damn cool.

I saw it twice actually. Once when they were driving it into the garage... the drive was sticking out of the "sunroof". It was all battle ready then. Had all it's vents and wings on. That picture showed it stripped. They took everything off of it to work on it and they were washing it when I took the pic.

[regwec]

Tell your boss that I think he's a tight arse. That ought to rectify matters.

[itsthebatman]

Everything'll be right as rain after that, regwec.

Don't be insensitive. Some of us here don't have live, you know? I'm not ashamed to admit that at least 70% of my day is spent looking up superhero news, with the other 30% being video game playing time.

[explode7]

Dude I am not being insensitive. Its the other way around for me with those statistics though.

[kytrigger]

Hey guys, not sure if this is new or anything, but I just moved back from Chicago, and accidently stumbled upon what I think is the main building for TDK prepping in Chicago.

I went to return my cable boxes and modem etc. and I saw a huge sign for Rory's First Kiss (RFK in big letters) casting. Further down in another building they had RFK employees signs saying to use loading bay 5&6.

The funny part was, this wasn't in a normal studio owned lot. They had bought out a huge space that is owned by a tool Mfg. Co (talk about secrecy).

After getting really excited, I tried to casually walk over to the loading docks and saw that 5&6 were closed, but 3&4 were open. I looked in and you could see the sections for TDK production. Everythign had newly built wood frames and the heavy duty plastic covering it so you couldn't see anything, but it looked like a pretty big space.

I wanted to go in farther and try and look around, but I was scared teh WB ninjas would get me.

I have a couple of pics on my phone of some of the signs, and have the address too. I'll hopefully get the pics up later, but I'm not sure about giving the address out.

LOL, I do feel sorry for all the poor saps who've gone to the casting thinking it's a rom-com. ;)

[fabman]

Cool, ky! Can't wait for the pix!

[dima]

Oh boy... if it's the place I think you're talking about... well I can't stop you from posting pics... but do NOT post the address.
If people start showing up... I'm the one who's going to be in trouble... because I work next door and had the whole batmobile fiasco happen... I will be in a WORLD of trouble because that's exactly what WB doesn't want to happen... people just showing up.

[kytrigger]

I probably won't post the address then, or the pic that has teh name of the company. I'll PM you and tell you the name and you can tell me if it's the same place or not, if that's okay.

[dima]

Kytrigger is correct. That is in fact the place.

[kytrigger]

Kytrigger is correct. That is in fact the place.

Yeah, because I don't want Dima to get into anymore trouble I'm not gonna post any of the pics with addresses or building names. I'll look through them tonight and see if any of the pics don't contain either and then post them.

It's cool since it was confirmed by Dima we know that the batmobiles are in there anyway, so we know what's there. :up:

[dima]

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

If you got photoshop... maybe you can blur out the names of the companies or any distinguishing landmarks...

But either way... there's nothing OUTSIDE of the place. Just trucks and containers... It's pretty ordinary looking. Moderately industrial area. You can bet your @ss that they won't have the car out again... unless they're transporting it somewhere... They got slammed by their own people up top because of this... They've learned their lesson, unfortunately.

not really my find, someone at BOF named "Matt" scooped it. But it's still cool nonetheless. I'm excited at the 4th stand in's requirements = Grey Hair.

Could Mr. Oldman be getting himself physically correct for the role of our wonderful Commish?

where is the filming taking place?

[fabman]

At the moment? In England. They'll probably do something in Chicago in April while they'll film in Chicago from mid-June to September.

[bluehit]

"The Dark Knight" has been moved up a month to June 13th 2008, back into the regular mid-June slot for Bat films. One slight hitch - the "Hulk" sequel is scheduled for the same day.

www.darkhorizons.com (http://www.darkhorizons.com)

Yeah... but nobody gives a ***** about the hulk so we're ok.

Oh my God... didn't you realise that it's an April's Fool Joke, bluehit!?!?

if that even is true .. then its just better for DC/WB ..

their both sequels, Batman Begins was a huge hit, Hulk was a gigant floop..

April's. Fool. Joke. ;)

Negative. Hulk actually made more profit than Batman Begins. And Hulk is definetely one of the best superhero movies around. Some idiots, and people with attention spans of 2 year olds couldn't get it, or understand it.

[explode7]

^Thats why I think that news would have been bad news for TDK. Hulk is a major contender in comic book movies in 2008 because the public always eats up a Marvel movie whether the last one was crap or not.

Hulk = $130 million, Batman Begins = $200 million.

No am agree.

Also, while Hulk was a decent in and of itself; It failed, and I mean FAILED as a Superhero movie. So one of the best Superhero movies it certainly was not.

[Fenrir]

Negative. Hulk actually made more profit than Batman Begins.

Hulk:

Production Budget: $137 million
Domestic: $132,177,234 53.9% + Foreign: $113,107,931 46.1% = Worldwide: $245,285,165

Batman Begins:
Production Budget: $150 million
Domestic: $205,343,774 55.2% + Foreign: $166,510,009 44.8% = Worldwide: $371,853,783
+ DVD sales of more than 180 million



You do the math, bud. :up:

[Milkman95]

^Exactly - Hulk DID NOT make more profit than BB. Even though I do like The Hulk film, it was just marketed wrong, that's all.

BB did fantastic on DVD, and The Hulk didn't match that, so your math is correct Fenrir.....

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

balls to Hulk..this is a Batman Board! ;)


Batman Forever! :)

In my opinion, i hope all Superhero movies do well, support all superhero movies. :)

[jimmy]

You do the math, bud. :up:


Good work.

[8atman]

Other thing you have to remember is that people other than Batman fans were very apprehensive about Batman Begins. The last Batman movie they saw had a Batman with nipples, gigantic cod pieces and over acting an horrible plot. People that didn't keep up with Batman Begins being made felt this was just going to be another sequal to the last movie an waited to see the movie on DVD hence the box office sales and the high dvd sales. The people I'm refering to are the one out of this group that did go to the theater and were all confused when the Wayne's were killed and it wasn't the Joker that did it. :)

I think now that BB has proven itself you will se a huge box office differince.

[odiin]

Batman Forever! :)

Me too! I hate when people are all like "I hope this movie flops!" and stuff like that. Because 1. If a movie about some generally unknown hero is successful than the studio will start to be more ambitious and try out things they never would have before like Ant-Man and JLA. and 2. I think that every comic book movie is connected, and that if even the bad ones start to bomb, than it shows that the public is starting to reject superhero movies and soon they'll ALL do terribly and this era of film domination will come to a close.

Now that's not to say I don't hope the good ones do BETTER though. $900 billion domestic box office for The Dark Knight, please?

[Muziko]

LoL... Why don't we make it a cool trillion?

[mad-sci]

All kidding aside, unless WB marketing is REALLY bad (it's significantly improved the past 6 months), TDK has a very good chance of at least $500M total (domestic and international), well up from the $380M from BB. Hell, if it really impresses, it could go up to $600M

[dima]

I heard them calling extras today. I guess filming is imminent.

On a side note... I'm a marked man, despite that, should I audition for extras work? There's a chance they may not know my name. And all they need is a headshot and some info.

My problem with Hulk was it's messy fusion of psychological storytelling and cartoony action.

It had such a dark and though-provoking edge, which was abruptly lost once Josh Lucas is blown literally off the screen.

While I see where you're going at, the public consesus has been mix on Hulk. And that's almost a fact.

I mean, Marvel's 'remaking it' (or whatever they're doing with the new movie), so in some ways, "Hulk" lost some crediblity there.

Did I like "Hulk". Not really but I do admire what Ang Lee was trying to do. Is a re-ramp needed? No. Marvel should of continued with Lee, and anything that was flawed in the first movie could of been improved upon.

Just a tiny bit of news really , our local paper the Times and Citizen had an article about Hanger number one being converted for a film studio in Cardington as part of a new housing development behind the huge hangers.( just think you can live in the Narrows! , well near them ).
The article also mentioned the Warners Brothers are ''believed to currently be preparing Hanger number two for the sequel for Batman Begins ''

The other week the ''T.I.G'' sign was still up and some SWAT vans from Begins were parked outside , so I'll have to take a wander and see if anything is going on .

Chi-Town Shoot Update
Author: Jett
Tuesday, April 3, 2007 - 9:21 AM CENTRAL TIME: I've been informed that there will that TDK will shoot in Chicago next week for two weeks and then return in June. No word on whether any of the cast will be present. You Chi-Towners be on the lookout!

http://www.batman-on-film.com/batmovienews.html

[mad-sci]

Dang, had to delete my thread! :yay:

BTW, another poster had some pics of the locations to be shot in Chicago. It's around here somewhere...

Nope, he's gone. Shame too, it confirms what they said was right...

[Two-Face]

Maybe some fans can post pics cast on set.

[fabman]

I hope we'll get set pics which show more than a crane! That'd be cool!

[mad-sci]

Special thanks to Bats9099 over at the BOF forums, who saw a film crew.

Hello all. Lifetime Batman fan here. I think I may have found one of the Chicago locations the film makers are going to use in "The Dark Knight." I'm not entirely sure it's them, but considering the crew was just here scouting locations, it could be them.

Anyway, I was near the old post office and noticed a crew outside building something. The post office has been abandoned for years now and they normally have it all closed up with barriers all around. Last week, all the blockades have been removed, the widows have all been washed and the doors are opened. Judging by the crew outside, it's not the city doing the repairs. They have a state-of-the-art facility next door and hardly use the old place. Anyway, judging by the pictures I took, it looks like a movie set. Could it be for The Dark Knight? I hope so.

A bank? (For a certain bank scene involving a 'smiling' crook? Or could it double for the courthouse?)

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

looks like a front of a bank,

seems those script excerpts maybe true.

[Ryan227]

^ Definitely looks like a bank to me because most courthouses have at least some steps up to the front door AND they already had one in BB so why not use that again?

[dima]

They are working on police cars... I've seen at least two with GPD logo/label running around. They're testing them at the moment.

[fabman]

Cool, thanks for the info dima!

[itsthebatman]

The face plate is actually a prototype from Applied Sciences - bulletproof, tear resistant. It was designed for American tanks over in the middle east. The logic was that it would remind the terrorists of Cassanova, and they'd retreat in fear.

Joker just steals it and spraypaints it.

[Paste Pot Pete]

Double posts die!

[dima]

No. They've hidden the bat cars... or moved them. They aren't outside that's for sure. Otherwise I'd be arrested for molesting them.

Hopefully a killer (pun intended) bank robbery scene............:joker:

02 April 2007


Tinseltown could move in again at Shortstown with the hatching of plans to convert the rotting Number One airship shed into a film studio.

The neighbouring Number Two Shed has already been leased by Warner Bros, who built the Gotham City set for Batman Begins within its massive walls and late last year were in there again to film scenes for upcoming movie Fred Claus.

Now Frontier Estates has lodged an application to change the use of Number One Shed to film-making as well.

But development director Mike Mansell stressed the 250-metre long structure might have to be put to a mundane use if the studio idea did not come off.

He said: "What we have always tried to do is make sure the shed could have some use that will earn its keep. We hope it will be something interesting and exciting, but the bottom line is that if no-one wants to use it for something like that, it will have to be for boring old storage or some other light use appropriate to that location.

"We hope that Warner Bros will continue to use the other shed and they have asked all the right questions in terms of when our shed will be available, but we have nothing formally agreed with them.

"Filming would seem like a suitable use for a historic building, but it could yet be used to store cardboard boxes."

Frontier has said it is prepared to refurbish the dilapidated Number One Shed – erected in 1916/17 – at a cost of around £6 million.

But to do that it says it needs permission to build a mix of up to 425 terraced, semi- and detached homes at the back of the sheds, with a legal agreement linking the two projects together.

The residential scheme – which has also been submitted for planning permission – has replaced an unpopular commercial proposal, under which Frontier was pressing to build a warehouse on the land.

Mr Mansell said he was hoping to get the green light for the housing from the borough council in May, allowing refurbishment work to start next year.

He said: "A lot of people suspect that we are trying to get a use for it that they won't like, but nothing could be farther from the truth. We hope it will be exciting and interesting."

Mayor of Bedford, Frank Branston, said he was pleased by the possibility of Shed Number One following its neighbour to Hollywood.

He said: "Two or three years ago I was trying to urge Warner Bros to look at permanent studios, but didn't get much information or joy out of them. The fact that they are continuing to film in Shed Two is a good sign."

Warner Bros is believed to currently be preparing Shed Number Two for the sequel to Batman Begins.

[batman7289]

god i cant believe this **** is happening this soon i cant wait.
ANY ONE WHO LIVE NEAR CHICAGO PLEASE EMAIL ME AND TELL ME YOU DO.
i live about 19 minutes away so we can keep in contact and exchange info. and i can go up there whenever. so i can get pics for all my boys here at shh

[GeoffTheArtist]

Hells yeah!

[dima]

I might be an extra....we'll see. What are the odds anyway...

1000 to 1?

[DrFrommeyer]

Hey guys - I live downtown Chicago. I plan on stalking every moment of principal footage. I'm going to be taking LOTS of photos with my 600mm Lens.

My mom works at city hall and is giving me all the shooting times and locations when the list is finalized, anyone is welcomed to join me - My ultimate goal is to become an extra, though, so be prepared to get aggressive. It works. As my Batman Begins and several ER cameos will attest. Most of the filming is going to take place around 300 N. Dearborn (according to my mom) and Wacker drive. Also some spots around Harold Washington Library (600 South State area). Mostly Sunday nights/early mornings if the last movie is any indication.

Nice, may I inquire as to where ur Begins cameo is? I'd like to look for it. lol
And a 600mm lens.......i'll love you....in a totally straight way.

[DA Harvey Dent]

Its mostly luck. I had a buddy who was walking to class and they asked him whether he wanted to be a background extra for a scene they were filming right then and there for The Devil's Advocate. He's in the final cut of the film.

[explode7]

Yeah dude which one of the zombies were you?

[DA Harvey Dent]

me?

:wow: How much did he get pay DA?

[DA Harvey Dent]

Nothing. He's in one of the shots where Pacino and Reeves are walking through Chinatown.

[explode7]

No dude I was referring DrFrommyer who claimed he made a cameo in begins.

[explode7]

Nothing? NOTHING? WTF??? What kind of cheap film was that?

[DrFrommeyer]

At 1:33:09 I'm standing against the column with my doorman =)

Not much, but still exciting. I plan on getting some walking time for the sequel.

[explode7]

^OMG!!!:eek: I can't believe I'm actually talking to a celebrity. OMG!!!:eek:

[DrFrommeyer]

I don't even think the zomie scene was shot in Chicago. If it was, they dressed it up real ugly. The bridge scenes were all chicago - In fact, most of them are all the same bridge by the Merchandise Mart.

[explode7]

I'm still stunned that I'm talking to someone who starred alongside Bale in BB.

[DrFrommeyer]

You gave me an idea - I'll try to get photos of the cast members holding a sign that reads "Hey, SuperHeroHype MB Users!" Suggestions on the actual wording are more than welcome.

[StorminNorman]

I suggest taking a page from Larry Holden's play book.

People on this forum have a tendency to blatanty violate copyright laws. If you have suffered any pecuniary damage b/c of this, I suggest you file a claim.

And some people in this forum have a tendency to blatantly throw around unsolicited legal advice. Dima should sue you for your libelous implication that he's an idiot. You think he needs you to tell him that if he suffered monetary damages from someone that he might have the right to file a suit?
They had long since smoothed things over, then here you come offering sage legal advice and trying to stir stuff up. It's apparent from his subsequent posts that Dima still has his job so how could you think he'd have a basis for a suit? You think WB fined him? Get real. And get a life.

Ok, internet tough guy. Do you even know what libel by implication means? LOL, apparently not. Too many Law and Order episodes I suspect. Where's the false and defamatory impression that affect his reputation genius?

DA Harvey Dent.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

[Spider - Man]

I guess she's got a liability suit then!:whatever: And he had the audacity to call ME 'genius' in such an acrimonious manner! He should have been banned for his mere insinuation that I've ever even watched one episode of Law and Order! Indeed!:oldrazz:

I seriously doubt he's a lawyer...maybe a failed law student. I mean it looks like it took him nearly an hour to edit his reply to me. That would be just enough time to look through some legal textbooks, pull out a few legitimate legal terms, make sure he was spelling 'indictment' correctly, etc. I don't think a real successful working atty would have much time to hang around an internet forum.

Back to subject: Dima, let us know how your audition goes! And we can help you rig up a hidden camera get-up so you can covertly take all the pics you want for us to see! :cwink: j/k!

So, are you going to be a history teacher, or do you teach students about the future? I think that second option sounds cool.

[Ryan227]

Well I'm gonna be a history teacher but I feel that kids need to understand history in order to be better prepared for the future. Thats not always the case though, take Hitler for instance, intelligent, knew history and loved Napoleon but didn't learn from Napoleon's biggest mistake, you never invade Russia in the winter......but yeah you have to prepare kids for the future and maybe even teach what COULD be coming, no way to tell really.

If there's one thing I learned from my parents, this was it. So I'm invading Russia in the summer.

Strictly speaking, he did invade Russia in the summer, June 22nd I think. He didn't prepare for the winter, no proper equipment or boots for the Russian winter. Should have had a fleet of Tumblers.

A young..."lady" sucking some chap's love-pump.

if he got banned, then he earned it for being an idiot. this is super HERO hype. not super PORN hype. pictures like that have no place here (especially since Jenna Jameson is a mutant now ... go see her 33rd birthday pictures; she looks like a bad tranny). if people want porn so bad they can go search for it somewhere else. finding porn online is like finding potato chips in a bag of Lay's potato chips.

I'm suddenly reminded of Dr. Cox on Scrubs' comment about how, if you took all the porn sites off the internet, there would only be one site left - and it would be 'Bring Back the Porn!'

Thanks Anjow and Miranda, I'll be making that drive now - the only thing left to do is find out how long the commitment is.

Let us know what happens. :)

[Anjow1060]

no prob. no prob.

[terry78]

I'll check around downtown and if anything pops up, I'll keep people posted. Everyone else that lives over here, keep your ears and eyes open as well.

[DrFrommeyer]

I'm going tonight to location - Expect lots of photos tonight/tomorrow.

[Two-Face]

Good luck getting set pics. :up:

[DrFrommeyer]

I've already scouted my locations - My girlfriend is covering Union Station and I'll be at the Post Office - We WILL find them tonight. There is going to be outdoor shooting according to my film office contact. They can't block an entire street from me - There are too many buildings for me to sneak in.

[Nepenthes]

We counting on you man. Godspeed. (btw your girlfriend sounds pretty cool)

[Bat Brain]

All this talk of sneaking around sets reminds me of the good old days :yay:

From the Frontpage:
What's the Dark Knight Doing at a Post Office?
Source: NJS April 16, 2007


Scooper 'NJS' told Superhero Hype! more about the scene for The Dark Knight that is being filmed at a Chicago post office:

A very good friend of mine is a stuntman working on the new Batman film currently on location in Chicago. He is playing the role of one of Joker's clown goons who robs the "Gotham National Bank" set-up inside the old post office. The clown escapes by crashing through a nearby high rise 20th-floor gliding across the city on a cable to the 9th floor of Chicago's Union Train Station ...I hear this scene is being shot tonight Monday April 16th.

The Dark Knight opens in theaters on July 18, 2008

[Darkest Knight]

I'm be there tonight.

[DrFrommeyer]

Darkest Knight, if you have a camera, go to Harrison and Canal - I just called the film office and got confirmation of filming tonight at that location. Also, I recommend that you dress in the style of Batman Begins - I'm going to try and be an on location extra. Who knows, maybe we can get into the actual building. More locations and times to come...

[Shedhut]

500$ for the man who delivers the clown-goon :o

[DrFrommeyer]

That's gonna be easy - The real trick is finding Batman or Joker - Sneed says that Bale is in town, so we'll see...

[Darkest Knight]

500$ for the man who delivers the clown-goon :o
I'll dress as Batman, and interrupt the filming with the goon getting away, and I'll give him a vicious keysi chop and grapple gun out of there. ... as Nolan shouts "Who the hell is that?!?! :wow: "

They called me about being an extra ... but I don't want to do it. And I don't know how to dress in the syle of BEGINS ?!?! I'll just wear normal clothes. I'm not dressing up in alot of clothes, and be uncomfortable. Being an extra is the pits.

I'll just be there with my friend from last time, filming, and taking pics. Hopefully I get to meet Bale again for the 3rd time if he is there. I don't really want to meet Ledger, cause he seems like a prissy actor *****. I'm sure he's one of the biggest ***** around. I rather get some pics of him as the Joker, however.

[DrFrommeyer]

By the style, i just meant not pink and yellow. I remember on Begins some guy couldn't be an extra because his clothes were too bright.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

well..good luck people.. i don't think those actors are there though..there work will be on a sound stage..this is stunt work

[DrFrommeyer]

True - What I'm really hyped about is this weekend's filming - Lots of stuff on Van Buren and Clinton.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

me too, even the stunt men have to wear what the actors will..maybe a reveal of Bats in costume.

[Seen]

I'll be there tonight. I'll be sure to take high quality pics. :word:

I'll also try and capture some video coverage also.

[Silver Souper]

love it. thanks seen and all you guys- your covert ops are our joy ;)

[DrFrommeyer]

Nothing like a 600mm lens for covert ops =)

[DrFrommeyer]

For anyone headed out there tonight, I've highlighted areas of possible interest - So choose your spots accordingly.

http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k47/jiminyale/Picture4-1.jpg

The Red: is the Old Post Office location.
The Blue: is the Union Station Office Building where, supposedly, the henchman is rip-lining to.
The Purple: is a possible path that line can take.

[Kebab gud]

Ill give away $50 to the person who runns onto the set dressed in an Adam West style batman costume


But ill need video proof and i wont pay your fines..

[Anjow1060]

There's a river......and where there's a river......there could be a ferry.......

:woot: :up:

Don't forget the inevitable result of Bale kicking the **** of the person who does it.

[DrFrommeyer]

I have an old Batman Returns mask... Would that suffice?

Thank you. That is very helpful.

Sorry.. not campy enough, Adam west or "Batman and robin" will do..
or a homemade !

[DrFrommeyer]

Movie office isn't closing any streets down, so the bridge perpendicular to the Post Office seems ideal. Or the Parking Lot across from the train station.

[regwec]

I salute the dedication of you all!

[mrsparkle]

This is all very exciting :woot:

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

will be,if pictures arrive tonite.

[DrFrommeyer]

I called Maintenance at Union Station - Spoke to an Anthony - He said the set is really busy right now - I'm going. I'll report as soon as the last light is unplugged.

[regwec]

Preferably before those of us in Europe have to go to bed!

[Miranda Fox]

Seconded! Stupid time zones...

[Kebab gud]

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

[Miranda Fox]

Lucky!

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Lucky!


I know..ive always thought getting up at 4am was lucky too.

[terry78]

I work at CDW right between the Sears Tower and Union Station, and I'm about to go down in a minute to see what I can see. :D

[Miranda Fox]

I know..ive always thought getting up at 4am was lucky too.

I used to have to get up at 5am for my last job.

I hated it, but I'm no morning person.

Gahhhh! My mind is gonna explode. When I first discovered the boards, both BOF and SHH, production had already wrapped. This is a whole new experience for me. Yay yay yay!:batman:


PS: Thank God I live in the states! Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh STAY AWAY FROM OPRAH!
