while in chicago this weekend, my friend and I walked by a farm of movie trailers, and right next to the fence, Anthony Michael Hall stepped out of a trailer. he was trying on a purple-ish large-pinstripe suit, and two ladies came up to check the fitting as he talked to them.

 

[sasquatchs]

Prodigy, how sure are you of this?
AMH is teh real Joker!

 

[Prodigy]

absolutely 100% sure. this was saturday morning, the 18th, at around 11:00 or so. we left union station and walked towards the building where my friend works, and he said we should drop by the lot of trailers. there was a trailer on the street, inside there was Gotham City police uniforms, and in the lot there was rows and rows of trailers. some of them were facing the sidewalk and had stars with names written in them, but I didn't recoginize any names. just about right as I passed by a trailer, I saw someone step out, and walked about another 10 feet before looking back and recognizing him as Anthony Michael Hall. dead on it was him, and my friend confirmed. I got a look, and he was wearing a purple business suit... though not a dark purple... it was a lavender-ish kind of color, with either black or dark purple pinstripes on it. I dunno if it was a full on costume or what, because two ladies were by him, and he was making movements like he was trying it on. one was adjusting the sleeve, the other was looking at and adjusting the lapel. we walked up the street and down a bit to underneath the El and saw signs for shooting from 3am that night to 8pm on the 19th (today). I was just in town visiting my friend, so I don't know the streets well enough to know where we were at, but we walked by again later and didn't see anything except inside the trailer again, and got a better look at the gotham city cop uniforms.

Cool info!
Are the trailers still in the same location near Franklin and Randolph?

 

[ABleedingCorpse]

I always knew the 'color purple' would start some sort of contravorsy.

 

[darkknightfan63]

Would anyone be willing to meet up to check out the sets? If one of you know a way in or a way to get a better view it'd make my trip much better. Let me know.

AMH is not the "real Joker" but his clothes might be related to the Joker. Consider these two possibilities, based on conjecture and what we know about the Joker's outfit:

1. Perhaps AMH is imitating the Joker for his television show (should he have one as referenced earlier).

2. It's been stated often, especially at the beginning before we had ANY Joker pics, that the Joker pieces his look together over the course of the film. His clothing is found or stolen. It's likely that Joker steals the suit from AMH's character because he feels it suits his clown persona.

 

[typeorocks]

No way AMH is the "real joker" that would be stupid since they did the fake thing with Ra's already.

Whats next Alferd is the real two face?

Please post general speculation/remarks in the "Chicago Filming: news/pics" thread instead of this one, only useful set info/questions about where to go here. Any Chicago pics/video we get from this would be better off posted in news threads

Full closure of Jackson between LaSalle and Clark

These locations above: LaSalle, Jackson, Madison, Clark, and Monroe.

Are these streets???

And does "Full Closure" mean that they cant be seen from the street.

 

[sasquatchs]

Yea, it just means no traffic on those streets at any time. Whether you'll get a good vantage point or not is pot luck, should be easier than a few weeks ago with it being daytime

 

[firescape]

Question...... I will be in Chicago on Sunday and I was hoping to catch some filming if possible. Does anyone know a schedule for Sunday at all or where they may be filming based on other days this week. I would greatly appreciate this as it will be my first time to chicago while they have been filming. So the idea is....what are the basics I need to know.

 

[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.
