[Joker'sHenchman]

Can anyone send me the screenplay for Batman Begins?

[Luchastyle]

so what is the estimated budget? isn't it something like 200 mil?

it would have to be. they have some MAJOR stunts in this flick. i mean, i knew nolan said it would be epic. but i didn't know it would be EPIC.

Yeah, Nolan is kinda pissing me off. As someone who hopes to one day direct a major motion Batman movie, he's kinda stealing all of the thunder. I continually find myself baffled as to how I will end up topping him...

There is no topping Sir Christopher Nolan, the greatest living filmmaker :oldrazz: .... and I have prematurely knighted him as well, come on, you know it will come someday :cwink:

[ChicageauxTiger]

Yeah, I actually live in New England. I was out here for the summer for an internship/job here in Chi-town. I'll be heading back to New England in a couple of weeks :csad:

Well, ya' done did good while you were here.

GEAUX RED SOX! :word:

[dark_b]

okay back to the construction scene.... MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD GUYS JUST A WARNING...



THE swat guys who we have scene hanging off the building were first tied together with a chain link cable.... also around the editing truck I talked to 3 of the stuntmen who did the scene...they were hitting on the chicks that I was mentioning before at the truck...anywho back to the scene they were all tied together and THROWN OFF THE BUILDING BY THE JOKER!!!!! YES HE TIES 5 SWAT GUYS AND CHUCKS THEM OFF THE BUILDING!!!!! AMAZING!!!! even the editing guy said this is the darkest batman he has ever seen.... so now we know they were not shot off nor blown off the building they were chucked like an old garbage...... I actually was talking to the editing guy for a couple of minutes...I got more after the shoot then before just standing around the crew.... it was amazing guys... ALSO THEY ARE DONE SHOOTING ON 9-2 it was confirmed last night by the PA... so sad!!

i too, as an aspiring filmmaker would love to do a batman film for warner bros. it would indeed be hard to top nolan (assuming TDK is as awesome as we think it will be). but in 20 years, if ur the helmer of the new franchise, you wouldnt need to top him, you would just need to do things different. separate yourself from his style. your own spin as a comic book fan. that's the only way to approach it. how would YOU tell the story of these characters? and then go from there. =D

[Luchastyle]

heh, well he is one of the greatest living filmmakers. but let's not forget peter jackson. for the LOTR movies you can just put them on mute and look at them and say "god damn, these are some great f-ckin movies." but i would definitely say nolan and jackson are in the same league. at this point i wouldn't put one above the other, although i will say that the prestige and BB are more entertaining than the LOTR trilogy. (but peter jackson's early work can't be topped. braindead{dead alive}, bad taste, meet the feebles).

Peter Jackson failed me with King Kong. I'm sorry, but I don't like see an extra fifteen minute fight between Kong and a jurassic period dinosaur. When the tongue was ripped, it had me out of my seat and at my car.

Peter Jackson's early work over Nolan's? :wow: Come on now...Following, Memento and Insomnia are masterpieces!

But yes, Jackson is great....

the original king kong had an extended fight with dinosaurs. right down to playing with the jaw of the dead dinosaur. that's awesome stuff. i liked his kong

Peter Jackson's early work over Nolan's? :wow: Come on now...Following, Memento and Insomnia are masterpieces!

sorry, i meant for the genre. peter jackson did splatterfests. nice gore movies. and as far as gore movies go, jackson had the best.

The only Peter Jackson movie I like is The Frighteners, its great... Chris Nolan on the other hand, I love all his movies, and Im not just saying that because he did BB, and TDK, Memento is absolute genius.

rory is right, i don't wanna stay off topic here, but i meant from a pure filmmaking stand point. u may think LOTR is boring or nerdy or something, but you can't say they aren't completely solid movies. with brilliant cinematography and direction. that's just a fact.

[Mikesimus]

I only said the Frighteners because I have only seen it and King Kong, LOTR does look exceptional Cinematography wise, but I have never seen the trilogy, agreed lets get back to the proper topic lol

[Luchastyle]

agreed. someone needs to score footage of the demolition. that would be so sweet.

[Mikesimus]

So is it definatly the Gotham Hospital that is going to go KABOOM then?

[TromaFreak64]

YES! Or it seems pretty certain!!!

[hegele]

Peter Jackson is terribly overrated. King Kong was awfully redundant, Lord of the Rings had excellent sets, cinematography and music, the pace was awful as was the direction and the acting (for the most part). Brain Dead is amusing, as was The Frighteners, Meet the Feebles and Bad Taste are two tremendous examples of pure **** celluloid.

[ChicageauxTiger]

Alright ... I think we're done with the Peter Jackson chatter.



And Yes ... Hospital go Boom on Wednesday! :word: As many people as possible should film this.

[spanish39]

I thought Hospital go boom fall down on Thursday now due to the storms holding up filming a few days back.

[batman1115]

Who are all going on Wednesday? It's been repeated that it's not the best of neighborhoods.

[MattieJ]

I thought Hospital go boom fall down on Thursday now due to the storms holding up filming a few days back.

ya i know that mentalboy said that filming starts at the factory wednesday morning at 6am...but does that necessarily mean that the demolition will occur this day?

[spanish39]

Well not if it's an all day shoot. I'm sure they have some stuff to shoot there before they blow it all to hell. We need some conformation on this. I will be pissed if I drive up Thursday too late or if the damn thing is ruble already. I still need to see me some ledger in his Joker getup DAMNIT! I will go and mayve we can all meet up and hod hands as we criss the street so we don't get jumped lol.

[Mikesimus]

yeah, blowing the place up is the last thing they will be doing, expecially if they are doing exterior shots before hand etc, i hope they do it at night!

[mentalboy22]

So do we know how this 'throwing swat guys off the edge' fits in to the overall spectrum of the movie? What building is it that he throws them off of? Roughly when in the movie? Where's Dent? Gordon? And does anyone else think it might be kinda lame for Batman to enter via helicopter? Reminds me of the old '70's Batman movie where Batman and Robin helicopter over the city waving at the townsfolk... Shark Repellent Bat Spray!

I think the way it will happen is it will be a joker copter or maybe the swat copter?

[mentalboy22]

Who are all going on Wednesday? It's been repeated that it's not the best of neighborhoods.


It definetly not in the heart of chitown but during the day it will be cool..and hopefully the PA will get security if we get mugged... "Give me your money punk".. "Miss PA help"...."You can mug him if u like as long as you dont take flash photograph, actually mug him over that corner, your in the shot!"

[mentalboy22]

What will we chat about when filming is over...will this thread die...so so sad!!

I can't confirm anything just yet since I'm not really sure where this was filmed at - and even if I was - no guarantee that would be where it is SUPPOSED to be - for example it seems they are using some of the same streets to be different locations.

Any how though, in relation to the film, this scene DOES come before Joker goes to jail - since this is where he kills 5 of his friends. Other than that, I can't place it yet.

[Fresh Tendrils]

That's been changed to Thursday, August 30th (the confirmation is somewhere around here).
Also, it's been confirmed as a day explosion, as well.

:ninja:
Cool. So...

1) Who all is going?
2) What actors will be on location?

Never say that again in my presence. Nothing tops Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead" trilogy. Ever.

[Octoberist]

yeah, i prefer raimi's evil dead trilogy.

[newtypejuggalo]

Well I just got confimation that I'm on as an extra for the hospital shoot on Wed and Thur all day. I thought the actual expolsion was on Thursday.

[JokersInsanity]

Awesome Dude
Good Luck and Make Sure to Keep Us Informed Those Days!

[jayskate]

Just had to say Busters dive was awesome , he knows no fear and hes going to do it again in hong kong !... cool . Oddly the Gotham Hospital looks like our Local Hospital in Hanger Land UK . Your so lucky in Chicago seeing all the action , All I can see is 2 giant green hangers and those wonka buses ..doh !

[sasquatchs]

Well I just got confimation that I'm on as an extra for the hospital shoot on Wed and Thur all day. I thought the actual expolsion was on Thursday.

Did you find yourself amongst the set photos? :woot:

[Luchastyle]

i say what i please. evil dead II is my favorite horror movie of all time. but i said what i said.

[rpenguin]

Never say that again in my presence. Nothing tops Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead" trilogy. Ever.
Have you seen Dead Alive? Meet the Feebles?

[Octoberist]

dead alive was enjoyable, but nothing can top bruce campbell.

[hegele]

Meet the Feebles is intoxicatingly annoying and profoundly stupid. Dead Alive (aka Braindead) is fluffy fun but nowhere near as innovative or entertaining as Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy.

[Octoberist]

i agree.

I love Evil Dead 2. I also love Evil Dead 1 for being what it was: a nice horror movie. And I love Army of Darkness b/c that was Bruce's moment to shine as a comedic actor.

[newtypejuggalo]

Thanks Sas!! I think I did see a few pics with me in them.


Hey if anyone does have pics from the parade sceneo r see them anywhere, please PM me or post the links. I'm using a friends pc right now and I usually go to the library so I'm not able to search for them that much. Thanks in advance!!!

[Luchastyle]

hey, bruce campbell is god, we all know that. i didnt want to turn this into a peter jackson/sam raimi debate. i was just saying jackson is a great filmmaker and his old movies were really cool.

romero's original trilogy. just throwin that out there. day of the dead.

[spanish39]

Ok, Ok, great Evil Dead and Bruce "the Man" Campbelll is awesome (I met him once) and Meet the Feebels is like Muppets on acid.

NOW!

When the hell are we getting conformation on this hospital stuff? Homer up top said he is an extra on Wed and Thur so then they have to be blowin' the damn thing up on Thursday night right? That only makes sense to me. I want to be there taking pics and vids and meeting people from the cast.

NEWTYPEJUGGALO? You were the cop extra right? Please let us know when you find out when they plan on blowin' the sucker up :up:

[Octoberist]

is the hospital in fairly industrial area, away from neighborhoods? How can they blow it up so early in the morning?

[TromaFreak64]

it's seriously like a run down part of town... sort of like the narrows is supposed to be in Gotham. It's a dangerous place with lots of poverty and old abandoned buildings and stuff around and poverty level people. Hard to explain but I think you get the idea.

[newtypejuggalo]

Now I am a hospital extra!!


The inital reports I heard was early in the morning. timeframe was 10:30-noon. PAs were not so specific and I heard 30th was the day!

[peteagassi]

The Joker applies make-up. Not flesh colored...He applies white make-up. There is no twist regarding the Joker's look. Nobody in their right mind would construct a twist based solely on a character's appearance- That is completely superficial! And completely stupid. Joker applies make-up. LIVE WITH IT!!!

Oh yeah, i remember him, he went on a huge ego-based rant because he got to stand next to some pretty girls or something while us nobodys sat at home. Nice. Now that he's back at his day-job as a gas station attendant, he'll probably refer to those precious hours as his "salad days".

WTF? It can't be that bad? Isn't that the same area where the Begins extra call took place? I remember I took the green line there. Damn, I hope it's not bad since I've been asked (my second chance!) to take part in Angelina Jolie's :cwink: movie...

[chgojobs]

I don't expect there would be too many problems during the day. Besides, there is no doubt going to be a large police and fire presence there. The only problem I have going up there is that I don't think there will be a suitable vantage point to shoot (pardon the pun) from. The site is hemmed in on two sides by above grade railroad tracks. And I assume all of the nearby streets will be blocked. There's a distinct lack of commercial buildings so there's no rooftop locations. Even if there were, they'd probably be used by the film crews.

[jtfaria]

Well I just got confimation that I'm on as an extra for the hospital shoot on Wed and Thur all day. I thought the actual expolsion was on Thursday.

Well, Nolan DOES want realism. Thanks for giving your all for this film.

[CarmenGhia]

Hi guys -

Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been called to be an extra tomorrow and Thursday as well, and not knowing the area very well, I am a bit concerned about what the locals are saying regarding the area.

What is the best bet, in terms of getting down there safely, and getting back? I won't have a car, so I want to make sure a taxi will actually take me there, and I have a reasonable chance of getting a taxi to pick me up if I call for one. I am guessing taking the train is probably out.

If it matters, I'm female, so I am a little leary of what has been said so far.

[chgojobs]

I won't have a car, so I want to make sure a taxi will actually take me there, and I have a reasonable chance of getting a taxi to pick me up if I call for one.

I think a taxi will take you there, but finding one to take you back may be difficult. The green line and the #54 bus are the two public transportation options. Any chance you could hitch a ride out of there with one of your fellow extras?

[CarmenGhia]

I was either going to beg a ride off a nice person (I'm actually in the city, on Wabash) or call out to a cab company for a ride back. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't really putting myself in danger by being an extra. I mean, I want to be in the movie, but I'd also like to SEE the movie too. :)

[typeorocks]

I wanna go watch the place go boom! So its gonna happen on thursday AM?? Maybe I'll go since I don't work til 4pm. But I really hate morning traffic.

So whoever is going, girls boys, ect ect?

PM me maybe we can meet in a nice hood then carpool to the bad part??

[chgojobs]

It's too bad the production company can't let you know if there will be security by the green line stop. It's only about 2-3 blocks from the factory. Speaking of which, I wonder if they'll clear the station platform prior to detonation? That would probably be a good spot for photos, although it overlooks the back side of the factory and all of the work on new hospital signage and such is on the front side (I assume.)

[ChicageauxTiger]

Hmmm ... that's a good idea. Gotta get all angles for this! :woot:



And as for the people being extras for this ... Why haven't they provided transportation for y'all?

Seems weird that they would leave y'all hanging like that. I'm sure they know it's not the best of neighborhoods. You'd think they would look out for y'all.

[CarmenGhia]

I sort of was figuring they might have a holding area somewhere else. When I spoke with the girl at the production office, I was like "This is in a really bad area, right?" And she feigned ignorance. So she either didn't know, or didn't want to confirm my suspicions. :)

I wonder if they've having problems getting extras, based on where its being filmed?

Here is a shot of Chris Nolan driving away in a van after Sunday morning's shoot. He walked right by me and got in to the van. Also I have a shot of one of the Gotham flags that were hanging around the building. If you zoom in you can see the words Gotham. I have more pics and vids. I am not sure what the best way to share a vid is. Anyone have an idea?

[chaser1]

The Greenline Platform at Cicero Ave. Overlooks the Candy Factory and you can see the backside of the parking garage that has Gotham General Hospital sign on it and the whole side of the factory itself.
I didn't ask the CTA worker at the platform for any information because I didn't want to alert them to anybody staying on the paltform for the filming. (They may kick people off the Platform)
I noticed that there were actors trailers parked in the back to the right of the factory. (the left of the sign that says Ambulance). They have security at the main gate and at each of teh side entrances to the parking lot where there are turnstyles to get in.
As for it being a bad neighborhood the L-Station is only a block and1/2 from the factory and I would beleive that the area would have a lot of poloce presence at the time of filming.

I think so. The Gotham ambulance was off to the side. All the cops were running all over the place do to the shooting (I believe you can here the gunshots).

I thought so ... However, someone reported that Oldman and Eckhart were riding together, which I thought was a goof on their part.

Any more videos? :woot:

I've got one of Nolan directing Oldman from Sunday, I'll get it uploaded...it is short though, nothing amazing. I have a few more but some of them really did not come out too well.

Gotham's ambulances are fugly

[kissofsickness]

Hey all, I'm kinda in a hurry, but I was wondering what the addresses are for the filming on Wed and Thurs. I'm not going to have enough time to go back and read a bunch. If someone could send me a link or something, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

[chgojobs]

The factory is at Cicero and Hubbard.

But look at the stage ... only one MAIN pic, and that's Loeb. If there's some other smaller image of someone (which I can't see in this pic)
then maybe it's his wife, who might bite it with him.

Otherwise ... this is all for Loeb.

[Hobodeluxe]

Yeah I remember seeing another wreath with pic inside on the left side of the stage. couldn't tell who it was though.

[ChicageauxTiger]

BTW: I just realized ... I can see the Candy Factory from the 33rd Floor of my work building on Michigan Ave. :woot:

I looked up the address and realized that the site was bordered by Hubbard, which is the street that runs (almost) along my building. And even though it's WAY THE HELL out there (6+ Miles) I can still sort of see it. Someone here at work has Binoculars and I asked if I could borrow them ... and it's the Factory all right!

So at 11:45-12:30 on Wednesday and Thursday, I'll be looking to see if I see anything from here. :word:

[chitownballer]

the female judge could be the one who

was rumored to have been killed in that car explosion scene they filmed out in lincoln park, remember their was video of that scene on youtube

There's two frames up in this picture, both the same size.:

[ChicageauxTiger]

Then yes, my guess would be a judge as well ... that black area is very robe-ish.

I don't think this person is a "main" character, though.

[sasquatchs]

Yup, that's for definite anyway. She's the one that first hears all the gangs cases when Dent and Gordon bring them in.

That guy got mixed up. The Mayor (Nestor Carbonnel) was the one giving the speech.

ok clear this up for me!!! Did the joker shoot him up close or was it from a distance with a Rifle? And if it was up close did anyone catch him?

[ChicageauxTiger]

ok clear this up for me!!! Did the joker shoot him up close or was it from a distance with a Rifle? And if it was up close did anyone catch him?

Well, this was the scene I saw filmed over and over on Saturday:

-- Someone at podium is speaking
-- He steps aside as 21 Gun Salute is heard
-- On 3rd round of gunfire, someone jumps the speaker
-- Police and Pedestrians scatter in panic
-- Cut!

Beyond that, I don't think the Joker is sniping anyone here nor does it last long enough to resolve itself as far as "Joker getting caught" ... hope that helps. :word:

[ChicageauxTiger]

BTW: At one point, I thought it was the Joker "jumping" the speaker ... later reports made it sound like the gunmen for the "21 Guns Salute" turned it into an Assassination attempt of the speaker. So then this meant the person "jumping" the speaker could be saving him.

Much confusion.

[Bishop]

the joker seems to be kicking major ass

[newtypejuggalo]

The Joker is an evil a$$h@le in this movie. Everytime I read something or hear something, its the Joker kills ______. The Joker kills _______. The Joker blows up ______. The Joker throws 5 SAWT guys off of a roof.

There were 2 pics on the stage, Loeb and one that looked like a Judge Judy promo pic.

[typeorocks]

So at 11:45-12:30 on Wednesday and Thursday, I'll be looking to see if I see anything from here. :word:

Who quoted that time?

Well I'm not gonna go tomorrow but if it goes down on thursday I'll be there and like I mentioned a few pages back if anyone wants to meet up prior to this and carpool or hang out I think its safer if were in 1 big group.

[The Only Woj]

Joker kills Judge Judy?!

[chaser1]

When they were filming Friday in the alley off to the left of the stage (where the snipers were on the fireescape), they had the ambulance there with someone struggling inside the ambulance firing a gun.

[ChicageauxTiger]

Who quoted that time?
...
*Urgent* This is the latest info about the time/date for the building implosion. This is the most specifc timeframe I've seen:

http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/2007...-for-dark.html

[chaser1]

I just got back from the candy factory and the only changes that I could see is that they resealed the parking lot (new blacktop coating) and striped new white parking lines on the entire lot. They were working on the Parking Garage that has the Gotham General Hospital sign on it but not much has change from 2 days ago. They only have the first 2 floors with the fake glass windows completed in the front and part of the side.

I also noticed that the Ambulance is now parked over there along with 2 school buses and a firetruck.

[batman1115]

apparently other websites have it a bit wrong....


A "Dark Knight Returns" spoiler from a Gutterati working across the road from filming. He described, "a funeral scene being filmed. Tons of white flowers, and all sorts of people dressed to the nines. And, low and behold, on top of the coffin is a large framed picture of Morgan Freeman."

Lol, I was thinking the same.

[Van Petrol]

Something seems odd. So far we have had reports that the funeral is for the Mayor, Lucius Fox and possibly Gordon. And there have been set pics of the podium with pictures of Loeb and Dent.....

Confusing... :huh:

[itsthebatman]

I think, based on the more reliable reports, that this is Loeb's funeral, and Joker rushes the podium to kill the Mayor.
That your assessment, sasquatchs?

[discotillyoudie]

hey guys i just moved to Chicago and really want to check out the building blowup scene, however, i am a 21 year old female who really doesn't feel like traveling around in "dicey" parts of the city- not to mention i don't really have any idea where to park, or where to go for a decent view of the action. Is anyone going that is pretty familiar with the area, perhaps we could carpool or something?

[Luchastyle]

i hate the state the obvious, but i will. if loeb dies, isn't there a good chance we'll get to see COMMISSIONER gordon in this one? and wouldn't that be sweet?

[JoeCat]

i hate the state the obvious, but i will. if loeb dies, isn't there a good chance we'll get to see COMMISSIONER gordon in this one? and wouldn't that be sweet?

It's a possibility...

I was thinking about it today when I was driving around... Commissioner is more than likely an appointed position by the Mayor.. so this funeral and Gordon's reported actions could dictate what his future is in GPD.

[ChicageauxTiger]

I dunno :o The pic definitely Loeb though

It sounds like they do the gun firing, then all the cops near the podium turn their guns on the Mayor. Not sure if Joker is one of them or just prancing around. Also, haven't heard anything about the cops actually succeeding, you'd think one of the 7 would hit him

[Luchastyle]

Y'all ... it's Loebs Funeral. COUNT ON IT!! :word:

oh i believe it chicageaux. i believe it. it makes sense for the police commisioner to die. it's important to the people on the force, but not a major enough character for any fans to get pissed about. and it sets the stage for gordon to move up in rank, assuming he takes care of business in this movie.

[JoeCat]

Y'all ... it's Loebs Funeral. COUNT ON IT!! :word:

I believe it! I just hope Loeb dies how I think he's going to...

ah yes. good call. that could easily come before this scene. they took our guns, our uniforms..i just remember..his smile.

Hmm, I thought Gordon was Randolph. Gordon's on the stage though, you'd think he'd realise what was up

[itsthebatman]

I still don't understand why this would mean they'd shoot the Mayor. has he Jokerized them?
EDIT: They're not actually cops, are they?
Man, I'm dense. Jaysus, Paddy, wake up.

Sounds about right to me... the rushing the mayor thing anyway. As for the Joker, he seems to run through the crowd of policeman on the ground. And apparently, I hear that Dent also races through the crowd...possibly running after the Joker....?

[sasquatchs]

Maybe Dent is Randolph and he finds out too late about the tied up cops? It was actually Dent we established as Randolph, he has that scene with the Mayor as well. Although I could have sworn Dent was on the stage, so maybe Dent has some hamsters in his head too :oldrazz:

[ChicageauxTiger]

I was one of the police extras on Saturday and Sunday (doubt me if you will, I can offer no proof here). There were indeed errors in the thread starter's report, as suspected.

1) Joker does indeed shoot at someone during the Commisioners funeral :The Mayor. They filmed him doing so from some angles and not from others depending on the shot. The 10 Officers doing the rifle salute are Joker and his goons in disguise.

2) It is Loeb's Funeral. The Mayor is speaking about Loeb. We were not told of anyone else being memorialized. We were also not told if the Mayor lives or dies, only that he is "having a bad day".

3) It was Gordan and Reese in the car, also with a Gotham Cop or two with shotguns. The other person mentioned in the seat with Nolan I believe was the 1st Assistant Director, Nilo (don't know his last name. Very nice guy).

4) Ledger had no stitches visible in his face. I was within feet of him. He had some sort of prostethics on for the scaring on either side of his face and makeup; lots of makeup. We could not tell if the white on his face was makeup that was rubbed off, or if the Joker was supposed to have applied flesh tone over a white face; could have been either. This was a hot topic amongst the extras all day. He is indeed very, very creepy looking.


No one rushed the stage. Joker takes off through the crowd after the shooting. Gordan jumps on the Mayor trying to save him.

Lots more cleared up!! :word:

Dent has a severe psychological disorder that is worsened by the pressures of Gotham, and one day snaps, turning him into a criminal mastermind.
I, meanwhile, am just a bit dense.
Isn't Gordon 'The Chief'? And doesn't the Engel interview with, the Mayor I think, mention rumours about Randolph's death, which he refutes and says Randolph is recovering and looking forward to getting back to work? Sounds like our favourite DA to me.

[sasquatchs]

Hey discotillyoudie,

Welcome to the hype, I am another girl trying to get a group together. Check your private messages.

Talk soon, Kari

Team up with CarmenGhia maybe?

I was either going to beg a ride off a nice person (I'm actually in the city, on Wabash) or call out to a cab company for a ride back. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't really putting myself in danger by being an extra. I mean, I want to be in the movie, but I'd also like to SEE the movie too. :)

Yea, that must be near the end, you've redeemed yourself. Maybe the scene goes something like this:

There's something I'm forgetting. Did I lock the door? Feed the cats? Switch the TV off?

*looks at cop with rifle*

****! Joker tied up the cops and stole their weapons! I should tell Gordon



They must only find out afterwards.

I also thought Randolf was Dent, and I was told he would be chasing the Joker as the attack on the Mayor occurs at the funeral scene. I myself didn't confirm it, but that is what I've been told.

However it does make one wonder, since other scoopers have claimed the Mayor dies, how would he still be alive around scene 260 and appear on Engel's program and say those lines about Randolph (or Dent as we think) if he was killed???

Commisionerville - what a lovely place.
Troma - Maybe it's the new Mayor?
But, IIRC, the sides are rough guides to scenes, not exact transscripts, and characters and scene orders may be changed around.

Oh hey, didn't even see that Sas.

[iahawk97]

Long time lurker - first time poster - I can confirm, as I was an extra Saturday too - everything GPD Officer said is correct.

ledger looks awesome as the Joker - he's definitely got makeup on - I got several good looks after he shoots the mayor - he ran right past me almost everytime.

And I do believe that this was the scene that will end up having Lt. Gordon become Comm Gordon.

Report from filming on the set of The Dark Knight! Batman 2

Hey guys,

We did the memorial parade scene yesterday in Chicago!! Myself, Mike, Laura, Heather and Ron were all on set for all the fun, standing and ... the Joker's mayhem!!!

It was great! The scene is big, but we were in great spots and should be in the movie at some point in this scene. The best part was when Gary Oldman was on the sidewalk scanning for the Joker in the crowd and he crossed from the sidewalk into the street right in front of me!!!! Ton's of people, but he went in the street there! The camera came behind me and the rest of us to film him in the street.. so I think the camera will scan all of us if they use that take. They only did it twice too and in the 2nd take.. the camera went behind us again filming him in the street..... so chances are excellent we'll be in it.

Some other sweeping wide shots that we're bound to be in, but small.

Also, at the end... there is a speach by the mayor of Gotham and gun salute ot the fallen Commissioner (yes, this is where Gary becomes Comissioner Gordon when he takes over the spot) and the guns in the salute turn on the mayor!!!!!!!! Gary jumps and protects the mayor and the crowd goes crazy!! We all start running in the streets hiding from the gunfire.. all the cops in the parade pull their guns.. and the Joker (Heath Ledger, in makeup) was in the crowd disguesed as one of the gun saluters and is running around. Most of us are right on the side of the Gotham City Police Department car.. so chances are we got caught in that scene too.

Also on set, Anthony Michael Hall, Maggie Gyllenhal, Aaron Eckhart (who becomes 2 Face), Gary Oldman, the mayor is a dude from Lost, and the best was Heath Ledger in makeup as the Joker. Batman was not in the scene so we didn't get to see Christiam Bale:-( But all other principals were pretty much there!

Take care all,
Rob

I don't what the hell to do! I don't know if I should leave Wedensday nigth to be there at midnight or if I should leave Thursday monring to be there by 10am or if I should leave Thursday night to be there by midnight...AHHHHHH!

[itsthebatman]

Is that Oldman on stage with his back towards us? I don't see Eckhart, sas, he could still be watching the footie.:cwink:

[Dr Lee]

Which 'Lost Dude' is plauying the Mayor?

[iahawk97]

Nestor Carbonel is the Mayor

[Dr Lee]

Alpert? Batmanuel?

Cool!

[Heart Attack]

Yeah, he plays Richard, one of the Others, on Lost. :yay:

[Drunken Savior]

Hey guys, I'm confused on something, can you help clear it up?

I thought that Gordon fakes his own death, but all these reports seem to disprove that happening (at least in this scene).

Thanks!

I still think that's solid info, we've heard it from a couple of sources.
We just don't know the circumstances yet.

[Drunken Savior]

Ok thanks! I thought there was something I might have missed but I guess not.

[Figs]

Whoever saw the filming of the memorial scene were Joker rushes the stage. Was he disguised as a cop in that scene? If so that really rocks! Since he also disguised himself as one in his first appearance briefly to kill one of the people he announced he would on the radio. If it's true that he kills either Loeb or the Mayor that has me so pumped how many references they really are taking from that first appearance.

[Golgo-13]

Any ideas about what they're filming in the U.K or Hong Kong?

A possible flashback sequence of Bruces 7 year disappearance..?

His pre-league of shadows martial arts training? Or his detective/powers of deduction training prehaps...?

[Cowleen]

Isn't the sound stage in England?

[gwynplaine]

"Enter the Bat".

[Tournée d'adieu]

Well, for Hong Kong, it's imagined that it's something involving the character Lau.

[Cowleen]

"Enter the Bat".Did you hear they want to remake Enter the Dragon? Seriously.

[wikum]

And while this thread is fresh...can someone pm me if/when they know the locations of the filming in England so I can go take some pics.

Same applies for extras casting.

Thanks.

[Cowleen]

If Miranda is still around she strikes me as the one to know that stuff.

[gwynplaine]

Did you hear they want to remake Enter the Dragon? Seriously.
No way ?

[CaptainClown]

Ew Enter the Dragon remake.. .just make a new movie.

[itsthebatman]

I think I read there will be some stunt sequences filmed in Hong Kong.

[Golgo-13]

Well, for Hong Kong, it's imagined that it's something involving the character Lau.

Who?

[CaptainClown]

I heard Bruce is going to visit a client in Asia. I have no evidence though it is all word of mouth.

[strikezone89]

mirana knows all

[Golgo-13]

I heard Bruce is going to visit a client in Asia. I have no evidence though it is all word of mouth.

Couldn't they just build a soundstage of Hong Kong if it was just that? I think there's more to why they're filming there. One that needs scenic authenticity like the beginning of BB.

[Tournée d'adieu]

Who?

Chin Han is rumored to have the role of Lau.

This is from the TDK sides after "Faulkner" (Wayne) arrives in Hong Kong:


LFI VP
Mr. Lau regrets he is unable to meet you in person. But with his current legal difficulties...!


Also, he has been mentioned in the scene sheets, as in:

"Int. Fox’s Office: Wayne Enterprises
http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/uploaded_images/chevrons.png Wayne begins to tell Fox of his plans for Lau (played by Chin Han)."

"Int. Fox’s Private Elevator: Wayne Enterprises
http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/uploaded_images/chevrons.png Wayne tells Fox more of his plans for Lau."

[CaptainClown]

I think a sound stage is just a waste of money unless they are doing exterior shots.

[BatJew]

No, filming in HK would be cheaper than building a sound stage.

[Luchastyle]

if they do a enter the dragon remake, or any kind of martial arts movie reminiscent of bruce lee, it needs to be with Tony Jaa. the only man alive who doesn't need wires to be amazing.

[Golgo-13]

No, filming in HK would be cheaper than building a sound stage.

Really?:huh:

I figured flying the cast/crew and all that equipment back and forth would cost an arm and a leg......

[1981]

Whoever saw the filming of the memorial scene were Joker rushes the stage. Was he disguised as a cop in that scene?

There's some photos on here some where in this thread of Ledger wearing a white button-up after shooting this scene. You can see a light touch of red on his checks from his scarring. Not sure what page, but I saw it either yesterday or the day before. He is indeed dressed as a cop. Pretty rad stuff.

[Joker'sHenchman]

They are only filming Wayne Manor/ Batcave scenes in England. This I know for sure. The stunt driver and a few PA's confirmed this.

how do you get so close without a PA harassing you?

[mentalboy22]

In regards to tomorrow shoot and Thursday I have to work in the city till 1:30 2 pm then will go over there via the green line most likely. I will scout some of the area before dark to see if there are any vantage points for the explosion. Is anyone confirming the explosion on thursdya with a time? I have to work at 3 that day!

[jtfaria]

No, filming in HK would be cheaper than building a sound stage.

BAT-JEW? BAT-JEW???
Oy.

[General Vulcun]

What about that big jump stunt Buster was practising? That's supposed to take place in Hong Kong. Isn't Batman supposed to grab Lau and jump from the top of a building or something?

And I heard that they'll be in England for 2 months. If so, then why are the Batcave/Wayne Manor scenes taking so long to film?

[GoogleMe94]

Bat jew? LOL.

so there are no SCENES of hong kong, they are just filming on sets there?

[mentalboy22]

You know...the hell with it. If the detonation goes of Thursday, I'm in. I'd probably take the green line out there though.


lets meet up in the morning if you want chgo...are you driving over there or parking downtown?

[wadewils0n]

yes he was disguised as a cop. but i did not see him rush the stage at all, although i was only an extra on sunday. the shot i was in went like this:

3 shots from the gun salute, on the third shot all the cops doing the salute turned to the stage a fired at the mayor. after that panic ensues and cops rush the guys who fired and take them down.

it was pretty obvious that they were doing the takes for close up angles of the bad guys during the tussle after the shot. i cannot speak for what happened on saturday.

Nothing new but good vantage point

Well, what IS new is that we have a shot (perhaps a practice shot, since people are still milling around) of the
"21 Gun Assassins" taking aim at the Speaker ... which means THE JOKER IS ONE OF THEM!! :wow:


Any guesses as to which one Heath is? :yay:

[willis]

Sorry mental, no confirmation yet.

[mentalboy22]

Sorry mental, no confirmation yet. I hope it really is Thursday!

Trying to get a group together so we will be thankful if you find a good spot to view it. Keep in touch so we can all meet!


most def I am up for both day's...who will watch Lasalle street...I hear they are there too...maybe this is a big rouse to get all of us over there whe nthe explosion is down here....that Nolan is tricky.

[TromaFreak64]

Hey guys, I'm confused on something, can you help clear it up?

I thought that Gordon fakes his own death, but all these reports seem to disprove that happening (at least in this scene).

Thanks!

Gordon does fake his own death around scene 140, but Joker is apprehended and it is revealed he is alive around scene 201.

It is a bit of a stretch but based on the evidence we have the scene we are viewing appears to occur after Joker has escaped prison, stolen several police officers suits and returns to kill the Mayor. If this is true, Loeb would have been killed before Joker's initial arrest, and the reason Gordon appears in the scene is because his faked death was already revealed and he has returned to the force.

This however is all speculation. Gordon is only assumed dead between scenes 140 and 201... and we know he goes to Loeb even before scene 140 and explains his life is in danger. There are OTHER explanations though, this could all occur before Joker's initial arrest since Gordon does explain to the Mayor a plan that we don't know the details of, so even if he faked his death, maybe he is still present to carry out his plans - since others are likely in on it.

These are the two logical conclusions based on the evidence we have so far.

It's clear from that picture that The Joker definitely, 100% certainly, has permawhite skin.

[TromaFreak64]

It is SOLID info it is right from the cast call sheets.

INT. POLICE COMMISSIONER LOEB’S (played by Colin McFarlane) OFFICE
Gordon tells Loeb his life is threatened, he drinks to that

142 - Stephen tells Barbara of Gordon's death. She blames Batman

201 - Gordon returns home.

[rory_bat]

how do you get so close without a PA harassing you?

I am a ninja :ninja:

Actually, I just get very friendly with them and then it all falls into place from there :cwink: And some of them are genuinely pretty damn cool...

[willis]

that Nolan is tricky.

Yup!!

[willis]

And some of them are genuinely pretty damn cool...Very true.

long time no see. i've been reading, just haven't had anything to input.

according to my source, they are set to wrap chicago after the big boom. the wrap party was last night (8-27-07)

also, the PA's are very friendly, if you dont try to sneak on set. they are there to do a job. I did meet my twin while I was there for the joker truck vs batpod sequence. kinda scary. identical.

[Drunken Savior]

Loeb does fake his own death around scene 140, but Joker is apprehended and it is revealed he is alive around scene 201.

Typo or are you trying to mess with me? :)

[Nepenthes]

Some spy said he spoke to stunt guys rehearsing in Chicago for the HK stunt. It's someone falling out of a very tall window.

[DeaDheaD]

Falling from high places are always cool in a movie.

[strikezone89]

god there's just 2 much spoiler goodness today.

[sasquatchs]

Loeb does fake his own death around scene 140, but Joker is apprehended and it is revealed he is alive around scene 201.


We don't know that Loeb fakes his own death, just that Gordon is trying to protect him

[JoeCat]

god there's just 2 much spoiler goodness today.

indeed.

i love it.

[teeWkay999]

A previous report stated that The Joker pushes two SWAT police officers off the roof of a building right? Does this event take place in the same scene... because if it does, I could see it going something like this...

After the 21 gun assassination, the police are about to apprehend The Joker's men, when they get an announcement from above, telling them to let the goons go or the two SWAT officers get it. Then the goons pile into an SUV, and The Joker kills the officers anyway.
