The Dark Knight Filming:news/pics etc..

[Phoenixfaith]

Thank you. A lot.

Please go on: what was he wearing, did his makeup cover his whole face and neck, was his hair green etc?

Your patience is appreciated. The fullness and honesty of your answers are of paramount importance!

I did not see his neck. I was by the passenger side window where he was sitting when I ran out into traffic and his hair (yes very green) was covering his neck. He put a finger up to the window and I could see it was white, as was his hand and wrist. His make up appeared to be covering his entire face, it was very, very white and he was smiling at us, as if to say 'naughty, naughty girls.'

That's really all I saw. Sorry I can't be of more help. :csad:

That's wonderful stuff. How about the facial scarring, and the severed smile? How pronounced were they?When I saw him It was fairly pronounced. Enough that you could see it as he drove past us. He smiled at us as well and it was pure badassery.

And a great sense of humour too.

Sasquatchs, any idea where they'll be tonight? I was in my grandparents' neighborhood and coulda sworn I spotted some RFK signs.

[sasquatchs]

Hey. Inside the Old Post Office so probably not alot to see, it's day filming too, but they often go fairly late

[Cowleen]

Thanks again. Any other observations? Could you tell what he was wearing? Could you see anything that Pheonixfaith couldn't?It was when they broke for lunch, so just a white tshirt and jeans i think. and he actually had his hands behind his head so no help there either...

Curious, have you seen the "bubbling" on the side of one of his lips? That's something I've only seen in the officially released pics, but haven't in any of the set pics or videos (granted, they're crap quality).

It looks to me like both sides are gruesome gashes. But the official pics say otherwise.

[Keyser Soze]

If only one of you had got a photo...:csad:

That's the new mission for everyone in Chicago. Close-up pics of Joker's hands!

They were driving around some kids from the make a wish foundation in the tumbler today. It was awesome. That BatPod was out as well.

But I guess I never even noticed them until just now when you made me recheck the pic. I seems more like a keloid type scarring. I spelled that wrong but if anyone knows what i mean back me up.

[Chessh2036]

You walked up the stairwell to the 39th floor? Wow. Did you actually see the set up there? What did it look like.

I was able to get to 38 and see the boarded up hallyway, but with tight security I couldn't get any father.

yeah man, I got up there because like I said, the lady wasnt even there. So my dad and I get up there and we look around, there is a desk marked with police do not cross things. Then there is a living room type thing, then a huge deck where i guess they were filming, thats where all the eqiupment was.

Before I could see more, the hotel manage was showing his buddy around and came up to my dad and I and asked for out badges, well he told us to leave and the heard of security asked how we got in. Well the manager yelled at the lady who was eating and after he left she let us take pics :yay:.

but yea, my dad hit his head on one of the set pieces and they were really worried we were going to sue lol

[sasquatchs]

Can you share any of the pics with us?

This is pretty common for casting agencies to do actually. They can't use the same people over and over, and anyone that is actually signed to an agency would cost much more because they probably belong to a union. Unrepresented extras are cheaper.

yeah, there on my facebook. just search Austin Chesshire and ill add you!

the truth. anyone with a SAG card get paid scale whereas usual extras make much less.

[spanish39]

How the hell has everyone been? TYPO how are you man?

Well I decided to be active and go down to Chicago, as I will again this Sunday and it will most likley be for nothing if it is all interior.

I skwandered the day away from 2pm till 8pm due to thinking that the filming would be down on and near lasalle street, I was wrong. I decided to go to lollapalooza and see Pearl Jam to kill some more time. Going back down to Lasalle to see nothing again. I then decided to go to the post office and see what was up. Just as I got there they were done filming, it would have been for nothing anyway due to it being all interior shots. The only thing I did see at 11pm was Heath Ledger getting into his transportation in just regular clothes. Maybe it was not him but it was a very tall thin man with long shaggy blonde hair getting to a van with presidential tint. There were only a couple of vans and they were there only to pick people up and take them to wherever.

My friend worls for ABX or whatever the security company is that sits at the gate at the post office. We thought maybe she could use her badge and get in there, but she wouldn't know what to look for and would most likley not last long and then eventually lose her job with the company back here in Indy.

Anyway, if anyone knows what is going on for Sunday and at what times then I will be there early to hang out and meet any cast members since seeing actual filming that day seems to be impossible.

Where the hell is 'snipe and Clerk and Two-Face and all the other TYPO?

[willis]

Oh yes, I know all about the cost effectiveness of the unrepresented extra... a bit too much actually.

How could you not be, hell id ask for the costume so i could go home and be the joker in my off time.

[Juanigi]

michelle williams probably bought a jester costume months ago

[hame4479]

In terms of functionality, I agree.

I thought it looked terrible though. Didn't mesh well with the rubber suit, it's difference in color just made it look tacked on. Not to mention it looked like a tablecloth you left in the attic for too long. :o

that was the best about its design. the color was flat and non reflective that cape is most definately reflecting light which makes absolutely not sense.

[Crook]

Anything being flat-looking on film, is never good. In terms of cinematography, objects still need to reflect light, to create an image of sorts. Otherwise...you don't really see anything. Especially with Batman who's under very low lighting sources.

Now I'm not asking that entire suit to be like a mirror, and being completely visible at any lighting. Just enough so everything blends well within the environment. It's hard to explain in words, but look at the several pictures of Batman in the comics, and you'll get an idea of what I mean hopefully.

I've never been to Chicago, but if I can use the fans that travel with the Bears as a sample, the data shows good looking people really aren't in abundance in Chicago - this casting call needs all the exposure it can get.

So my mom calls me at ten in the morning and I'm laying in bed (my phone's on vibrate) and I'm thinkin', "No way in hell am I going to answer, she probably wants me to clean the house or something." Turns out, when I finally pick up the phone around eleven, she's managed to get me a pass to get on the set of Batman because they're shooting some scenes at the convention center she works at. O_o

Long story short, IT WAS AWESOME. I talked to Morgan Freeman's body double and was actually standing about two feet away from the actual Morgan Freeman + Christian Bale. They reshot the same scene (it's the scene where Christian & Morgan walk out of the elevator) so many times from every angle imaginable. It was so unreal to experience something like that.

Hmm, where would that be?

[batman1115]

THE BAT-POD: The “motorcycle” is not a part of the Thumbler (the ‘Batmobile’ vehicle Batman drove in Batman Begins), it's another Lucius Fox's gadget. The Bat-Pod has one big action sequence in the film.

Still not sure I follow.

Are you saying if they use CGI to make it appear as though the batpod is emerging from the Tumbler, it would be fantasy?

I think it's plausible they could actually make a Tumbler that has a batpod actually emerge from it. Probably won't happen.

I can also see the Tumbler being blown up and Lucious Fox introducing the batpod as a new stand alone gadget, but I think the whole ejection from the Tumbler idea is much cooler.

The Tumbler driving from rooftop to rooftop is fantastical to begin with.

I completely understand what you are saying and yes it should reflect some light, but didnt they go to the british military to get some stealth fabric to make the original cape for BB. That is what I am referencing that it had a very non shiny surface and didn't have a leathery or plasticy feel to it like the batman 89 or superman returns cape did.

They could be, but there is too much activity over at the post office for that to be the case, I think anyway.

Here is the latest from Batman-On-Film:

Thursday, August 9, 2007
"A.P." sent BOF a report of what is shooting this weekend -- NO SPOILERS:

"Stuff at 'Wayne Enterprises' between Bruce/Batman and Lucius Fox...
Gordon, Ramirez, and GPD SWAT inside and outside 'Gotham National Bank'...
And Dent will be holding a 'press conference.'"
"A.P." says that we should be leery of some of the info reported by LATINO REVIEW (http://latinoreview.com/news.php?id=2616) on 8/9/07.


Looks, like I will have to keep a close watch on the Post Office.

Okay, so I've been super busy/not lurking around here for a while. But here is a (really bad) video of some filming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVf8eABPQIg.

We dunno really, it was the PO yesterday anyway, and some convention center for a Bruce/Fox scene. It sounds like the PO this weekend with a scene outside it again. All daytime.

Okay, so I've been super busy/not lurking around here for a while. But here is a (really bad) video of some filming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVf8eABPQIg. Also, I have some pics up on Picasa--we stumbled upon the very unguarded Jokermobile and a Gotham PD truck: http://picasaweb.google.com/eludemann/TheDarkKnight. This was all the night of the truck flip (which we didn't see, sadly, but saw remnants of). Anywho, hopefully I'll be able to see some more cool things before they're done.

zomg a police truck!

[drakeboy2007]

Affirmative. So, it is confirmed that filming is not currently at the PO... But somewhere else as indicated by rory's statement. Now where are those vans coming from... Everyone call their sources and report here immediately! Andale, Andale, Ariba, Ariba!

Drake is losing it..

[Phoenixfaith]

Are they trying to throw everyone off by having trailers at two different locations I wonder? :huh:

[sasquatchs]

Yay

[Phoenixfaith]

Cool info :yay:

Is this for the funeral scene or is that later in the month the 24-26?

[sasquatchs]

I'm pretty sure that's more than 2 weeks away, starting on Sunday 26th and going into the week

[rory_bat]

Yay

You are awesome! I am so going to scope out those places. And now we do know that they are filming somewhere. They didn't disappear on us. YEAH!!!!!

[Redd]

I also just noticed that they are going to do another helicopter flight thing. And that it is going to be low and between the buildingson August 12th between 8am to 8pm.

So exciting!

[Chessh2036]

[sasquatchs]

Go into the twist thread if you want to find out

[Milkman95]

Go into the twist thread if you want to find out

Speaking of that....The GPD is wasting a TON of money on an elaborate, by-the-book Police Funeral. With SWAT and the National Guard in Gotham, it must be a measure they really need to take.......

[sasquatchs]

There's nothing to say anyone outside the circle knows about it is there? With a force that corrupt someone would blub

[Chessh2036]

Go into the twist thread if you want to find out

i couldnt find it? can you send me a message letting me know, thanks

[Action ACE]

i couldnt find it? can you send me a message letting me know, thanks

Here's a hint, it rhymes with Rachael.

[Redd]

Maybe....

[typeorocks]

That would be sweet if the joker killed her :)

I'm guessing (no I didn't read the spoliers) That maybe a certain police officer bites the dust to make way for Gordon to get a promotion!

[Redd]

I am thinking that too. I think they have to make way for the new comissioner.

[Cowleen]

I thought it rhymed with Morton?

[Bond]

It does.

[Redd]

I really dont think that they would hold a police type funeral for a Assitant DA.

Doesnt really make sense to me.

I think they are holding it for Loeb.:wow:

[1981]

That's because the funeral is for Loeb.

[sasquatchs]

Take it to the other thread, not everyone wants to be spoiled

[Yurka]

I know this was already posted but Im really curious as to what the hell this is. Any ideas?

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m320/YurkaCLS55/Harv.jpg

[sasquatchs]

I think a missing persons press conference/appeal for help. Looks like the same portrait twice, pretty odd

[Yurka]

I think a missing persons press conference/appeal for help

thats what I was thinking, cool idea if it is.

[Redd]

If it was a press conference then dont you thinkthe people in the crowd would eb wearing suits or somehting?

[sasquatchs]

Not really, not compared with the alternative funeral theory anyway. The people in the back are crew I think

[GUNSLINGER]

looks like crew setting up a memorial to me for dent, remember in TLH they faked his death after the joker blew up his house and put his wife in the hospital. maybe its something like that.

[Redd]

I doubt it. But that is my opinion.

To be truthfull I have no idea wha they are doing here and I tend to find out on July 17th 2008 when I am watching the midnight screening of "The Dark Knight"

[GUNSLINGER]

i hear ya on that, but those are framed pics, on a stage, usually you only see framed pics and people in suits for a memorial, i know dent doesn't die but whos to say they don't fake it for some reason. like in The long halloween but not exactly for the same reason.

[Redd]

Usually people of the press that are at a press conference are dressed a little bit nicer than a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.

[sasquatchs]

The press are the front row :dry:

[Redd]

The guy at the podiam is in just a t-shirt.

[GUNSLINGER]

if you look on stage they are in suits and also in front, thee guy speaking could be a AD or some other crew man as well as the people in the back, they look like they may just be blocking the scene

[Redd]

true.

[GUNSLINGER]

It's probably some PA telling the actors whats gonna happen and when.

thats my guess

[Octoberist]

more like a first or second unit director, not a PA.

[dark_b]

more like a first or second unit director, not a PA.there is no second unit director.
nolan directs every shot :cwink:

[Octoberist]

There is. Nolan can't be everywhere due to the demanding schedule. I could be wrong b/c i've seen the bastard in every set pic! :)

But it's not a PA up there. i'm just saying that a PA, pretty much is a paid intern. or the 'go-fer'.

The cinematographer maybe? I could have sworn I read somewhere Nolan shoots everything, including the stuff usually left for the 2nd unit director somewhere else as well.It looks to me like someone giving directions in order to set up the shot. For all we know, it could even be a stunt coordinator giving people positions for a stunt we don't know about happening during this scene. I'd assume that if it wasn't Nolan himself giving those directions, it would be the cinematographer, but I may be wrong. It's definitely not a PA though. Like you said, PAs are pretty much bottom of the barrel in the film industry. Typically they aren't even paid. Often times its nothing more than volunteer work done by people trying to move up. At any rate, they are definitely on the crew, and not a part of the scene.

[yaeger007]

The guy on stage is a stand-in for G. Oldman. On the pic they are setting up the scene which explains the guys in jeans and shorts.

The Senate’s #1 Batman fan gets an appearance on the big screen. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) will have a speaking part, though a “small role,” in the new flick The Dark Knight, out next year. Leahy, who “dabbles in Batman culture purely for fun,” had a cameo in the 1997 hit Batman & Robin.

Just a follow up on Sasquatchs's street closures--I crossed the river on State today, and there is definite activity there. They've closed off the west sidewalk of the bridge, and it's full of tarps/tents and machinary. Then, on Kinzie towards Wabash, there are trucks parked, etc. I'll try to scope it out some more when I get out of work, but, sadly, I can't stick around long.

dark_b was correct, there is no second unit director. There's just a confusion of terminology here...it was most likely the First AD, possibly the Second AD. It may have even been a PA, PAs do more than you're giving them credit for, especially on a huge production they are sometimes given instructions by the First AD to give instructions to a crowd of people, a group of actors, etc.

True that, fellas. I learned my lesson the hard way (by way of a temporary ban from this very forum), when I speculated that a certain user was "raped by a unicorn" at an impressionable age.

Apparently, this rather benign exercise in pop-psychologizing was misinterpreted as "hating".

really? but they still are doing some scenes in wacker drive, the last time with helicopters there was with the evacuation of gotham and with the swat truck in the water, do you think is not more action scenes ? :csad:

[rory_bat]

Alright ladies and gents.... here is the deal: I just went by the Old PO and there is A LOT of activity. More trucks than yesterday and there is a lot of crew hanging around. Two of the doors were open and I could see a bunch of people inside chowing down. I also saw the set photographer walk into the building so they have got to be shooting there today. whether it will be exterior I not, I can't really tell. Though they have not dressed the outside, so it must be going down inside.

I am going to head back over between 5 and 6 to see if anything has changed.

Sorry ChicageauxTiger, no pics. There wasn't really anything exicting happening....

[sasquatchs]

I discovered this today. On the otherside of the PO there is a giant garage. It was open and I saw many of the vehicles being used for the film. I think that may be the new storage location.

D.A. Harvey Dent


Sorry if you guys already touched on this I'm just to lazy to read every page.

Well, personally I don't think that's a funeral scene, the big event is being filmed later in the month

That confirms it. Two-Face will be a man back from the dead.

Maybe everybody thinks Harvey actually died? Maybe Gordon and other Gotham officials are claiming he's dead so the public doesn't find out about what really happened to him?

Time will tell...

[Stringer]

The movies story takes place over the course of several months the funeral could be for Dent, Gordon, or Loeb.

[Juanigi]

or all three

[Seen]

I went to the Post Office yesterday, around midday, and nothing was happening. There seemed to be activity inside, but there wasn't even an indication of filming on the exterior (no filming trucks or anything) besides "no parking" signs that were labeled from 4AM to 7PM (I forgot the actual dates listed).

[spanish39]

How the hell has everyone been? TYPO how are you man?

Well I decided to be active and go down to Chicago, as I will again this Sunday and it will most likley be for nothing if it is all interior.

I skwandered the day away from 2pm till 8pm due to thinking that the filming would be down on and near lasalle street, I was wrong. I decided to go to lollapalooza and see Pearl Jam to kill some more time. Going back down to Lasalle to see nothing again. I then decided to go to the post office and see what was up. Just as I got there they were done filming, it would have been for nothing anyway due to it being all interior shots. The only thing I did see at 11pm was Heath Ledger getting into his transportation in just regular clothes. Maybe it was not him but it was a very tall thin man with long shaggy blonde hair getting to a van with presidential tint. There were only a couple of vans and they were there only to pick people up and take them to wherever.

As I drove back home towards Indiana I went past the opposite side of the post office, there is a door sometimes open and their are deffinitly things being stored in there. The post office is their main HQ according to signs.

My friend worls for ABX or whatever the security company is that sits at the gate at the post office. We thought maybe she could use her badge and get in there, but she wouldn't know what to look for and would most likley not last long and then eventually lose her job with the company back here in Indy.

Anyway, if anyone knows what is going on for Sunday and at what times then I will be there early to hang out and meet any cast members since seeing actual filming that day seems to be impossible.

Where the hell is 'snipe and Clerk and Two-Face and all the other TYPO?

[ChicageauxTiger]

Tonight (Saturday 7:30pm) I walked past the 330 Wabash Building where there's reports that filming will begin on Sunday. Well, there are indeed craploads of equipment trailers and light/camera cranes and cables rolled up awaiting to be used all around the building and nearby streets.

Also, inside I could see through the glass windows of the 330 Wabash Building where there's already a set up of black fold-up chairs in front of a podium. The round seal on the podium read "Gotham District Court" and "Gotham City."

Since there's word of some day shooting, I'm hoping to see some cool stuff tomorrow. :word:


Does anyone know if there's going to be ANY filming tonight (Saturday)?

[sasquatchs]

I seriously doubt it, they've been filming Oldman at the bank today. Cheers for the report

[strikezone89]

I seriously doubt it, they've been filming Oldman at the bank today. Cheers for the report

yah wasnt he at ww?

[ChicageauxTiger]

I just figured since WW is done for tonight (which means actors and director can get back to work) and also the latest "street closure" sheet has NO PARKING ZONES starting tonight at 10PM ... perhaps there might be some filming tonight.

Also, there are TONS of Yellow Security out there around 330 Wabash. They could be just guarding the trailers and stuff but maybe they're there for more action. :word:

[sasquatchs]

Sounds to me like daytime filming tomorrow around that area. I'd save myself for tomorrow, they've never filmed both day and night on the same day far as we know. Entirely up to you though

[ChicageauxTiger]

Hey Sasquatch ...
I see that your signature says "Filming Saturday Daytime: Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago"

Does that mean they're filming in 2 locations at once tomorrow or have you not updated it yet for Sunday filming? Because the Federal Reserve bank is in the Loop where as 330 Wabash is north of the River.

Just want to make sure I don't waste time going to the wrong area to gawk tomorrow.

[sasquatchs]

Haven't updated. I'd definitely go to Wacker & Wabash. No-ones actually described filming at the Federal Bank, but I assume they did it today, and that its the scene with Oldman BOF mentioned the other day. Might be worth swinging around to the bank if nothings going on elsewhere.

[Chessh2036]

you dont have to be 18 to be a extra do you? i mean obviously if they ask for one then yeah, but if they just ask for extras then you dont have to be 18 do you?

[Redd]

No you can be any age to be an extra in the film.

[Phoenixfaith]

Are they on day or night filming now?

Where exactly is the security standing by the way?

[sasquatchs]

Daytime. Think they've finished most of the night stuff now

[Chessh2036]

No you can be any age to be an extra in the film.

k, thanks

[Bats]

No you can be any age to be an extra in the film.

Not so sure about that. I got a co-worker's granddaughter into a shoot coming up later this month, and they had to wait until she was 18 to use her. She turned 18 last month. They would have used her then but couldn't.

[ChicageauxTiger]

Well, it's around 10:30am local time here in Chicago ... anyone heading out to gawk today?

the setup is almost identical to the outside picture we saw last week...this is directly across state street from the house of blues

[wadewils0n]

fyi:

i walked by the 330 N Wabash building last night and saw all the chairs setup as well. I also think I saw the batpod inside of the building. It was something with a motorcycle-like shape covered in a tarp.

Earlier today I went out to the set again and they had just finished filming before a break? I was able to get pretty close and saw Aaron Eckhart eating at one of the catered tables. As he was walking back to the set we tried asking if he would take a picture with us but he declined saying he wasnt allowed to since he was in costume (suit). He was pretty polite and seemed like a real nice guy.

They are at the IBM building today my friends, 330 N Wabash

Aaron Eckhart seems like a very likeable guy. Since he is in the majority of his movies. Just saw No Reservations last night. He was the best part about it. heh

[regwec]

Better than Catherine Zeta Jones' derriere? M'thinks not.

[Batman FREAK]

Well there's that too, but as far as performance....okay her derriere again.

It's not a MILF.

It's a MWALF

A mother we all like to **** :o

[ChicageauxTiger]

AAAAAANYWAY!!! Back on topic ...

Just got back from todays filming. They had several different vehicles out there (GPD, Gotham News Vans, Military vehicles, Bomb Squad truck, etc.) which was cool to see. But best of all, I was lucky enough to be 10 feet from Christopher Nolan, Aaron Eckhart and Mr. Bruce Wayne himself ... Christian Bale! :word: They were filming Press Conference stuff earlier in the day, broke for lunch around 1:00-ish and then filmed some more Press Conference stuff.

Then they brought in some Army-type guys along with camouflaged hummers and trucks with machine-gunners for the Helicopter flyby filming. They closed down a ****LOAD of areas for this, not allowing anyone in the area. The choppers came pretty low as they passed over the courtyard outside of 330 Wabash where military and press people were all around.

I have some pics that I'll upload ... nothing fantastic but hey, that's what this thread's for, right?

Thanks for the report CT :up: Did you hear anything that was said during the press conference?

[Juanigi]

we'll take photos of bale in character anytime

[ChicageauxTiger]

No, it was all inside the lobby of 330 Wabash so nobody can hear squat.

Basically, they kept filming a scene where Harvey Dent comes up to the podium with tons of flashbulbs going off. He's talking about something, using some hand gestures. It looked like somebody in the seats might have said something (Bruce Wayne?) because attention appears to focus that way at one point. Then the cops at the Press Conference look like they applaud heavily at something. Then Harvey says some more, begins to walk off stage when I Policeman comes up to him before he steps down ... that's it.

[sasquatchs]

Thanks CT. So the conference and the army coming are definitely part of the same scene, in that order? Wonder what that could be about, and why Wayne was there. Dent likes his press, they've already filmed another conference scene
