OFFICIAL: Batman in the Burgh - Part 7

[subaruwrxfan]

The Wabash Tunnel will be used for filming this Wednesday and Thursday:

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11220/1166054-100.stm

Crap, that's gonna be hard to sneak a peek at. The busways are long private roads, so I'm technically not allowed to go on them. As for the Wabash Tunnel, it is very long, but more interesting is that it's very narrow. So narrow in fact, that I think it would be kinda hard to film inside it. This should be a very interesting next few days indeed...

Was anyone else sitting in 218 with all the rowdy people who were yelling for the first couple hours?

When there's a will, there's an inheritance. Wait. No. When there's a will, there's a way. You can do it, subaru. :woot:

Best thing you can do is see what goes into that tunnel and what comes out.

If it were the Fort Pitt tunnel, I'd agree with you. Then you'd have parkway and the bridge to deal with but I'm sure you'll manage by stalking around the set on the streets. Good luck.

This is true. But at the same time, if they were smart, they'd keep it covered up until they got into the tunnel or restricted busway. I might only be seeing covered trailers for the next few days. But I'm optimistic that I'll be able to find something. :yay:

[batmanlover]

I think I was in 121/122 (don't recall), but 5 rows back from the field goal post. The IMAX camera landed right on us during that last shot, so I'd say I have a fairly good chance of being in the film, I hope :word:

I posted one of Yurka's photos a few pages back with me circled. We were one of the sections that got gypped on the t-shirts.

I was in the same section :D And I, too, am hopeful that we will be included in the "standing up for the national anthem" shot. The camera was write in our direction, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they only did one "standing up" take.

I'm curious as to how much work they did on Sunday. Apparently 700 extras were used. I hope all of their work does not cancel out what we did on Saturday.

Shhh, don't give them ideas. http://forums.superherohype.com/images/smilies/cs_funny.gif

Where there's a will, there's a way. I'm sure you've had to be assertive plenty of times already, and that is what's key. Not even the best security can keep those with the most persistence away.

Low profile attitude and confidence is all you need.

[batmanlover]

Haha, nope, but I heard them.

[Figs]

Hopefully the Wabash Tunnel scene is another chase of some kind. Say what you want about Nolan's take at fighting scenes, but I love his chase scenes.

The big chase scene is suppose to be filmed this week, so that's probably what it's going to be used for. And your right, Nolan's chase scenes are great. That chase in TDK with the swat and semi was amazing. I'm sure Nolan is going to top himself. :up:

The chase scene was awesome, one of the things that I love most about it, was there was no musical score, just that bit at the beginning with the joker theme

Tony Stark could do it.

In a cave. With limited supplies.

[Steyin]

As long as the chase is more on par with the BB one than the TDK one I'll be a happy camper.

[Nirvana]

Good God, I must get one of those Gotham Rogues shirts...haha, did they come in different sizes or all XL?

I'm crazy and willing to pay rather expensively...

[obin_gam]

Wouldnt it be an awesome (and cheap for WB) to make a small viral game with hyping the Rogues game against Rapid City the 20th of july 1012 as a big derby game? :D

[Nirvana]

Too bad they're not that clever. :(

[Jokers_Wild]

Hi Nirvana! In case you didn't see it, there's still one on ebay...dude wants over $400 for it! But they probably are going to be one of the few collectibles from this movie since it looks like the virals aren't happening!
:csad:

[MultipleJesuses]

Anyone know what and where they're filming today?

[Pagan]

I have a feeling Nolan isn't going to let us get a glimpse of the new vehicle. but maybe one of our intrepid ninjas can get off a lucky shot and make it back here with it.

[Mako]

I believe they have Mondays and Tuesdays off.

They had an IMAX camera panning the football players during the National Anthem too. I'm hoping to be in that shot as I was in the rows behind them.

[Pac-Master]

Does anyone know what's filming on Friday? A friend of mine is heading down on Thursday and he wants to check the filming out.

... It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
Nobody will get that reference. One million cool points to whoever does.

Ontopic-ish aren't those cameras worth like.. A lot?

Keep an eye out on Batburgh (facebook) and similar, once we know where the base camp is we'll know exactly where they are at.

Ya, they are worth quite a lot. But considering pretty much this whole movie is being filmed in Imax, I'm sure WB put some room in the budget for a couple broken camera replacements.

[Zorak]

no shoot today?

[Kynergy]

no shoot today?

No shoot today. The shoot resumes tommarow and I think goes until Friday. I'm not sure if they are also filming during the weekend.

[Llama_Shepherd]

It's Monday & Tuesdays off usually.

Yea I saw. Granted I would pay it, too (you know this lol). Except it's XL. :csad:

[aliensarchive]

Monday and Tuesday off but I believe they set everything up during this time ready to start early wednesday.

[Citadel30]

Oh man... she lost control and he moved too close at the perfect time... that camera never had a chance. :hehe:

[ultimatefan]

Actually, even if the batpod is hard to maneuver, it looked to me like it was the cameraman´s fault, he still could have just pulled the camera out of the way.

Many Bothans died to bring us this information.

That's awesome! I thought it was just a crew guy when I first saw his picture. :yay:

[batbax]

That's awesome! I thought it was just a crew guy when I first saw his picture. :yay:

Haha yup I thought it was pretty funny. But it does tell us a little about the story too..things have devolved to the point where citizens are fighting cops..I love it!

It sounds extremely familiar. Ugh, it's going to drive me crazy figuring it out. :doh:

Instead of TMZ video, is it coat or car??

Wally said that for TDK they got the cameras for free. May or may not be the same this go-round. :hehe:

If you guys remember that for TDK they smashed one to smithereens during the SWAT van chase. This one looks to be damaged, but probably salvageable. It looks like she just barreled through the tripod.

[subaruwrxfan]

Got a little surprise uploading now for you guys thanks to a friend of mine.

What kind of Film crew takes every Monday and Tuesday off while they are filming? Almost sounds like someone very important in or on the crew needs to get to their AA meetings...

[Boom]

I demand shirtless photos of Bane.

[rashad]

The kind that sets up shooting for a new location.

Just saw Christian Bale in the Pittsburgh International Airport. Thanks to @joeprob for the heads up.

[DoomsdayApex]

Watch Warrior September 9th. Hardy got ripped and shredded for that role.

[IamtheBatman]

So, are they shooting tomorrow?

[liov]

But does it have full frontal Hardy nudity like Bronson?

Sgt. Slaughter has fuuuulllll frontal. It was glorious.

I asked the dude about how he knew about this, and he replied:

cuz security wouldnt let me further

[kvz5]

Maybe they're just setting things up for an early start tomorrow? I'm curious what they're going to shoot at the Steel Plaza. I'm thinking something WE related scenes but that's just a guess.

[subaruwrxfan]

Well, this my turn into an all-nighter...just got this from the local traffic report:

BULLETIN - 21-30 m delay - (PITTSBURGH) SMITHFIELD ST BETWEEN 5TH AVE AND 6TH AVE CLOSED BETWEEN 8 PM TONIGHT & 5 AM THURSDAY FOR BATMAN FILMING. INTERMITTENT TRAFFIC CONTROL ON GRANT ST. - WILLIAM PENN PLACE & WOOD ST. .

Looks like they're doing a sneaky night shoot. Getting ready to head out! Gonna see if I can see anything, doubt I'll be out there all night though, unless I see the golden unicorn...(batwing).

Oh ya, and this. So much of this. :bow:

[aliensarchive]

Maybe for Mellon park or the front of the building across the street - Henry W. Oliver Building. If the closure is for all of wednesday then it has to be a day shoot.

I'm thinking maybe Wayne Enterprises?

[Pagan]

Subaru is our superninja.

[aliensarchive]

Ok, sombody name an interesting place to have lunch near Oliver Avenue...and no I can't afford the Duquesne Club.

[Octavias]

All I have to say is that with all the traffic I have to put up with thanks to some of the street closings around here this better be one fine movie.....

[subaruwrxfan]

Ok, they have filming going on inside the church, got tons of power wires running to it. Don't see any other filming going on. But I have the scoop for tomorrow.

[aliensarchive]

Definite filming or setup for tomorrow?

[Pagan]

You sir, are truly a ninja worthy of the resistance of Nolan's vest. Good luck out there, come back alive :oldrazz:

[the Wankstar]

Yeh i really appreciate the Pitt Ninjas cause after this we'll probably get hardly anything since its all studio shoots then

[enquencle]

Subaru, you are amazing! Nice work!

[ross2287]

Are they still gonna film outside if it's raining?

/moviefilmingnoob. :oldrazz:

[Yurka]

I just drove by Smithfield, theres nothing going on, but the road is closed now. Lots of "To Set" signs but no filming going on now.


And subaru their basecamp is basically the entire block between 7th and 8th, and Fort Duquesne and Penn Ave. :up:

[QueenChaos]

Are they still gonna film outside if it's raining?

/moviefilmingnoob. :oldrazz:

I think I read that for the previous shoot at Heinz Field it would be rain or shine, so I would suspect it isn't a big deal. They are trying to get things done as on schedule as possible I presume, and if it's really bad they could figure things out.

[Doc Holliday]

I'd imagine it depends on the scene. Some scenes it doesn't matter, some it probably does.

[Dragon_316ca]

Fake snow in downtown :awesome:

http://i.imgur.com/2p1xF.jpg

[subaruwrxfan]

Yep, so there are tons of power cables already lined up to the church, lights on inside, but couldn't hear anything and no security outside, so who knows. BUT, the scoop for tomorrow! Here it is!

So, they are gonna be laying TONS of snow tonight, there is supposed to be a blizzard tomorrow, and the batmobile will just be driving down the street and pulling up somewhere in the blizzard. That's all they're doing tomorrow, but hopefully we get a look at that black tumbler and the blizzard should look sweet. I dunno what that has to do with the Wabash tunnel or the church, but it sounds like they're gonna have a busy day. Anyway, i'm back home now, gonna get some sleep so I can be up early tomorrow so I don't miss anything!

We can't take you enough! *bows down*

Lol well thank you, but please no bowing down. I'm just a batman fan like everyone else here. I've just been blessed with having the movie filming in my city and a job that lets me follow them around wherever they film. Glad I can kinda help bring the action to you guys (and gals). :yay:

The reason it stays solid is because Nolan imported only the finest snow, typically found in most of Greenland. Due to the severely cold temperatures found in that region, the snow's melting point is a lot higher than the ones found in the Western world. As such, even being laid on the hottest surfaces of the Pittsburgh streets do little to affect its solid state.

Alright guys, good morning! Streets are covered with snow. One of the bane tumblers just rolled up (the one with the turret). Gonna be filming a scene here soon. I think the Banemobile is gonna just pull up at the church.

Joseph Gordon Levitt is in this scene, got super good video of the scene. He's in street clothes holding a gas can walking past the church while the tumbler just rolls by.

Just did the same scene again.

[subaruwrxfan]

Huge military vehicle (the black one I couldn't get pictures of earlier) is now following the tumbler up the street, same slow pace.

[Zorak]

Where are they shooting today!?

[Citadel30]

is it a truck? what is a "huge military vehicle"? is it like a Bradley or something?

[kvz5]

Might be a hostage situation... Bane taking Gordon as hostage inside the church?

[AnneFan]

I wonder what's up with JGL and his gas can? Hmm.

[kvz5]

Military raid to try to take out Bane?

[Citadel30]

obviously the Banemobile ran out of gas and JGL is offering a lending hand... lol

Is the black military vehicle the Ford truck with a machine gun, or something more tank like?

Extras made the signs they waved around and the production team made the banners, as far as I know.

They also gave out foam fingers and cowboy hats for the last takes. The people in front of me stole theirs.

[subaruwrxfan]

Sorry for not giving more description about the truck. It's the big black boxy one, I haven't seen pics of it before, but someone mentioned seeing it at Heinz field over the weekend. It might be the vehicle that bane carries the earthquake machine in, but I really have no idea. It's an intimidating looking thing, huge, about the length of an 18 wheeler almost, but no trailer on it, just one connected frame. Parking it is a pain, haha.

He was just walking up and down the street basically looking around. Was looking off into the distance once looking serious/mildly concerned.

Also, a school bus is here, says "St. Smyth School for Boys" on the side. Part of the production for sure, it's parked next to the bane truck now.

On another note, I have a nice handful of fake snow that I got from the set. Might put it on eBay, unless we wanna start the bidding here...lol.

[kvz5]

They were shooting in the choir room so that explains the school bus a bit. I think it will be a hostage situation thing. Gordon might be a hostage too or might be the negotiator. What Joe is wearing is strange. Is that what a beat cop wears? It looks more like a detective attire.

[Kynergy]

Hmm there was a home for boys bus at the Wayne Manor location too.

Yes, there was, during the garden party scene. That bus was also spotted at Heinz Field the other day. It's appearing everywhere, those kids must have a big role in this movie.

Yeah was looking through the companies site there... There's like 50 variants of this truck...

[Citadel30]

The pictures taken from the set also show that it has a 50 Cal. mount in the cab where the roof opens and its possible for a mount to pop up. that sucker is going to be really hard to take out.

its a hatch on top of the cab roof that a gunman can pop out of if needed. It may not be configured for a 50 CAL. but the hatch is definitely there.

The tumbler looks like the one with the missle launcher on the top, it's still under a tarp though.

I dunno about a small tumbler. There is only the turret one here. It's a different shape, so some may think it's looks smaller. I dunno.

It's the one with the swivel mount, not the one that has the pop-out rocket launcher. It's the same one that shot the field in the video I posted last night.

[elsewhere]

That's not an obscure angle. It is in fact a mini-Tumbler.

[bigmac2011]

Looks pretty small to me. Looks like it might be for a miniature shot.

Not sure if they would have it out if it was for a "miniture shot" unless someone see's some other stuff possibly built that looks like it may be used in such a way as well. I only say that because like they did with the tumbler in TDK, they would seemingly shoot something like that within the soundstage like they did when they built both the mini tumbler and used it in a mini set that was built to scale along with the mini tumbler, but created to look just like the tunnel of Lower Wacker where they shot the rest of the tumbler/semi truck chase scene.

[Bats]

I know what you mean there. Possible it's a remote control one used by Bane? I dunno.

[Kynergy]

Like I said in the other thread, rumor has it that there will be a chase involving two or more Tumbler's on one street. Maybe they just can't fit two full sized ones on the same street, so they need to use smaller ones. That's my guess.

[bigmac2011]

I know what you mean there. Possible it's a remote control one used by Bane? I dunno.

Now THAT is something that I could buy.... possibly with a feature that helps it to cause distruction in its own right while allowing it to be more covert than the much bigger ones? Just a theory...... a bad theory, but a theory.

Now that is a good theory as well, maybe using it in far shots down the street to try and give the effect of it being a good distance away from the other one? Such camera angel tricks have been used many times before. Nice thinkin'

[Bads316]

Not sure if this set report has been posted, hell it may even be from someone on here but I hadn't seen it till now and it's a little different from other accounts.


- I was at Heinz Field on Sat and I wanted to clarify a few points from your earlier posts. The Tumblers that were there were not filmed at all. They brought them out as a fun distraction for everyone in the stands (official word from the extras organizers in a thank-you e-mail is over 18,000 were there). Once to fire off a "shot" from the giant turret (a charge in the field exploded) and once carrying Pittsburgh Steeler Hines Ward who is playing Gotham Rouge Heinz Ward in the film (Ben Roethlisberger and former Coach Bill Cowher are also on the Rouges). We were also told that Bane has stolen the Tumblers, though no further details were given on that.

As it was explained to us, on the opening kickoff return Bane blows up a significant portion of the field killing the players (that was explicitly stated in the direction we got for our reaction shots) and creating a giant smoking crater. The raised platform in those photos is all that will remain in the final shot. Then Bane comes out with a bunch of mercenaries, a guy who was not identified and the big round thing already described. He gives a speech, and it was clear that what we heard, and what was in the video posted yesterday, was not even close to the full speech he'll give in the movie (since he's wearing that mask that obscures his mouth I'm assuming he'll be looping all of his dialogue anyway) and I imagine that's not really how he'll sound in the final product. The sequence ends with Bane breaking the guy's neck.

Now, though we got no clear idea of his motivations or goals on Saturday, some friends of mine were hired extras on Sunday and relayed that the object he brought out was a nuclear bomb, the guy whose neck he breaks is the inventor/constructor of said bomb, and that as soon as Bane gives his speech he takes the bomb and his mercenaries and leaves. The direction that they were given was that the things that Bane was saying were kinda making sense in a twisted way. So what I thought would be a pretty standard hostage situation after the events on Saturday turns out to be more like he's trying to win people over to whatever cause he has which, to me at least, is a WAAAAAY more interesting plot development!

They also filmed the explosion of a luxury box which reportedly contained Mayor Richard Alpert.

Anyway, I can't confirm this 100% since I wasn't there on Sunday, and who knows, the details given by the production team could have been misdirection, but I heard the stuff on Saturday and I trust my friends' descriptions.

Weeeeeee my first spy report!

It does seem like Bane is preaching and trying to convert/liberate the people based on his speech.

[subaruwrxfan]

Are there solid reports of mini tumblers? I don't see any. And the street is plenty big enough for the tumblers, you could fit all 3 going side by side down the street.
