The Dark Knight Exclusive New TDK Set Report!

We know nothing :csad:

Did you manage to see much at Twin Anchors?


Just Chris Nolan and lots of camera crew and extras and the guy playing the batender. And the cloaked figure, who I assume was Two-face. I didn't stay past 5 o'clock myself.
 
Yes. But at the time I wasn't sure who it was.
Awesome, so noirman was telling the truth all along. I think the news was so big that some people just didnt bother to believe him cuz they thought he was lying

I guess. I thought noirman and company were part of the crew myself when I saw them. LOL. I never spoke to them but saw them the whole time and can confirm everything he said.
 
There has to be some shooting going on today??? They are probably done with the bar scene, I guess. If anyone knows anything ... please share. My mom and brother are coming up from Indiana to join me in the search and I'd like to have some kind of idea where to go. Where's noirm???
 
Doesn't anyone else find it kinda funny that Nolan is happily giving up a small amount of time to talk to the fans and take pictures, only to have the fans reveal major points in the film that Nolan would want kept a secret (ie Scarecrow and Two-Face's appearences)? I just realised this and found it kinda funny.

Odd, isn't it...

Honestly though, is the amount of information that's (or the future amount) going to stop anyone from going to see the flick? I think he realizes this.

Your right he probably does know and realise his films will still make money no matter who info gets released, but I remember in an interview Nolan expressed a great desire to present his films as if they were magic tricks.

Well, that's what you get for shooting a movie at real locations rather than in a completely sealed off studio.

Don't know if it´s been mentioned, but could the cop he kills be the one who supplies Maroni or Joker (whoever does the scarring) with the acid? That is, if it's not done by Dent's assistant (which I would believe is Rachel in this case, not the other guy whose name escapes me right now.).
 
We still know next to nothing about The Joker, which is the main thing. Difficult to get any idea at all before we step into the theater.

Not sure I would have chatted to Nolan, then posted the end of the film though, much as I like new info. He'll tell us that but not set locations?
 
Here it is. I found the interview with Nolan:

"I think we live in an age where there is too much information about the process of making a film out there too early. When you are constructing a film it is a little like a magician creating a trick. Everything must be finished and ready to present to the audience before they see anything. Nobody takes novelists to task for not reading out chapters of their books in advance. It's a visual medium. You are spoiling the experience by showing too much too soon."

Once again, yes, I do think Nolan understands TDK will still draw us in and make money, but this way just feels "right" to him.

Yep which make me think either the scene was changed or he's making it all up. As it was confirmed that the opening sequence will be the joker's intro and nothing with SC.
I doubt that seriously. they're not going to start the movie with the Joker right off the bat. and nothing has been confirmed until someone gets their hand on a script or gets info from the editing room.
 
The first post credit shot is a large side shot of Gotham City at nightl In the streets we follow 2 anxious guys around Gotham. The enter a parking garage and take an elevator up to the 2nd to last floor. The approach a white truck surrounded by a few cars when one of the guys is taken away. The other is foced over to the back of the truck, where a guy in the back tries to sell him drugs. The thug want's to buy, when suddenly the Batsignal illuminates the sky. The thug becomes visibly ancy, while the Scarecrow is not afraid.

At Bruce Wayne's house, he spots the signal, and leaves the room he's in. Back at the Garage, the guy really does not want to do the deal, when there is a problem: one of the big guys who took away the buyer's friend and tells the Scarecrow something, and we realize the Scarecrow's whole gang is entirely surrounded in the garage by a rival gang. A massive fight breaks where a car is blown up and several are shot. The Scarecrow gets in his truck to leave when blinding lights appear from across the street.

The Batmobile shoots off a rooftop, rockets across the street, smashes through the tip of the garage wall, clipping and destroying a few cars, and slams into the side of the White Truck. We realize Batman isn't even inside the Batmobile, when he lands gracefully in the midst of the chaos, and proceeds ot beat up just about everybody arround him. The Scarecrow gets the truck going and flees, as Batman is attacked by dogs. He gets them off, and races across the garage on foot, and leaps onto the side of ther truck. He punches in the wall and windows of the side, and the Scarecrow slams him into the wall, hurting Batman who drops off the side to the ground. Batman quickly rises, and races to the edge as the Scarecrow flees. The path down is a large circular driveway that has a cut ot opening, which Batman jumps down in, landing hard atop the Truck roof. He tries to shake Batman by smashing into the Guard house, and Batman falls off, clinging to the side as the car races away. Batman swings onto the hood, kicks in the windshield, and grabs the wheel, spinning it, as the truck tips and tumbles forward, coming to a stop. The scarecrow presumably caught.

:) Hope you guys liked it.
Niiiiice.

what else ya got? :woot:
 
One more time ... (LOL) where should we head today to possibly catch some fiming in progress???
 
Hey all,

I'm here to vouch for NoirMan's honesty. I was there with him, so I just signed up today, knowing he's a regular on these boards.

We all me Chris Nolan, and yes the picture quality sucks cause it's off my cell phone, plus NoirMan cropped the rest of us out, so it's reduced in size. There were originially 4 other people in the picture, including me on the other side of Nolan. So everyone who immediately screams "zomg fake!" can go fly a kite.

There are a few details that we are keeping secret, such as filming locations and dates, as Nolan and team were nice enough to tell us as long as we didn't go blabbering off to the internet. More than likely someone else will leak them, but it wont be us. Sorry guys, but they were so nice to us, we would feel guilty for betraying their trust of complete strangers.

The last thing I wanted to say was some advice for anyone who camps outside a set, and would like a chance to meet Nolan or the stars like we did: DONT BE A JERK. I keep reading post from little geeks who think their cool cause they got thrown off location for being disruptive or rude. It's not cool and it makes the rest of us look bad. First and formost, ask for permission to watch, and ask where to watch from. Treat ALL crew with respect. Don't ask for anything ridiculous. Don't ask for plot details or a chance to walk on set or to be an extra. You wont get it, and it makes you look like a fool. Lastly, be very, very patient. As NoirMan said, we waited for a long time. A very very long time. Like 14 hours. But it was all worth it with a personal meeting with Mr. Nolan. We gave the crew a lot of respect, asked nicely for everything, and they rewarded us big time.

That's all I've got.

Enjoy this report before I force NoirMan to shut it down, as he's already said way too much. :rolleyes:

I already confirmed your guys story. I saw you all and you guys were courteous and respectful. I came before two o'clock. I was a black male with a White Sox shirt and shorts. Hung with another guy who had a phone piece in his ear.
 
You gave away the end of the film but won't give filming locations because that betrays Nolans trust? Bit backwards isn't it?

Oh yeah I remember seeing you two there. You two and us four were like the only fans out there all day.

Well us saying it's the end of the film is mearly speculation. As NoirMan said, we could barely see Eckhart's face due to his hood, so we have no idea if the scene filmed involved him already as Two-Face, or becoming Two-Face. That's all guess-work based on what's already known.

As for us not giving locations, as I said, they put trust in kind strangers, we we feel obliged to return the favor. And it's not like no one else is going to leak those locations and dates anyway. It just wont be us.
 
Dark Knight must appeal to a larger audience then just Superhero Hype. An audience that doesn't care enough about Batman to obsessively follow set reports of movies being filmed about the character like us. Any info about Dark Knight, they will get in trailers, and maybe in Making Of features on TV.

Not sure why WB and Nolan are all that worried about it.
