yeah, I didn't think they'd show that much. I hope nolan ok-ed that.

 

[Spiral]

I somehow doubt that they OK'd it. Just my opinion on it, though. Which is further ammo to throw in the faces of the Yellow-Shirted Security ______.

 

[typeorocks]

freedom of press!!! and from the shots they have I can tell they were on the bridge or by merch mart. WB would have let them on-set if they had permission.

in fairness, most of the security was cool to us. not a single one said anything to us last night.

 

[Yurka]

while they were worried about a few fans getting crappy-quality spy pics from 100 feet away, the news crews filmed from 20 feet away and the quality was crystal clear. maybe they will lighten up on the scoopers now.

Which is really good and I think its what they should be doing. When reading your reports I'd gotten hope that they had turned over a new leaf and decided to handle the crowds differently.

But then you read another report, like the guy from BOF, where a PA was refusing to let him leave until he witnessed all of the man's footage be deleted, and it really makes you wonder.

Then you read the other reports of yellow-shirts sprinting at and shouting at people...

Seems like some of those guys need to go. The guys you've encountered need to stay.

true, like the ass that tried to tackle me at the Two-Face shoot. nolan would have had that dude's ass.

Did you tell that story already? Sounds like a good one

 

[TheBatman072]

I really hope this is all some ploy by Nolan to give us what we want, and at the same time not give us anything. You know what I mean?

Like, he's letting us get all these shots of scenes, pictures, videos. And all of it's been pretty awesome. But what about the stuff they're doing we HAVEN'T seen?

What I'm saying is, if all the stuff WE'RE getting is so damn awesome, imagine how awesome the stuff they'll GIVE us will be.

 

[NoirMan82]

Yeah, when we met nolan some dum security guy thought we were sneaking into the set and came after me. If the PA didn't tell him to cool it, I'd still have a mark somewhere. He was pretty huge.

I was not going to bring up this story...but since others have had encouters with these yellow shirt tough guys I'll give you my story.

On Friday night when I was in the city....(when me and my friend got the pics of joker)

We were on the bridge watching lower wacker. I noticed that the sidewalk on upperwacker (near franklin) was wide open. We could stand on the ledge and overlook some of the set. And the entrance to the set with a ramp for cars. So we stood on that ledge and watched crew people walking around, then saw Buster and Ledgers stand in. Then Ledger arrived on set. We were up there for a good 45mins. Then someone else came...used a flash camera. A PA yelled at him from below. Problem solved. Later...another person showed up and used a flash. Then 5 mins later 3 yellow shirts arrived. And told everyone to leave. So we went to the bridge.

20-30mins later....when most people were gone. We went back to the sidewalk. Only 1 yellow shirt was there. He said....put your camera away. He didn't tell us to leave. Just said put your cameras away. we stayed for about 10 mins before 2 more yellow shirts came. They told us to leave.

I was getting fed up with these guys...so I asked him why we couldnt stand on a public sidewalk. he replyed "because i said so"

We stepped away from the ledge...walked a few steps towards the street and kinda huddled in a group shareing pictures with each other. Then he comes to our group and tells us to leave. from this point...were not even watching them film. I'll admit I got a little lippy at this point...because this guy was just being a a**hole. Because he is bigger than everyone...he thinks his looks can scare people. And I wasen't having it. I told him.."dude if I'm doing something wrong or illegal than call the cops on me" and I continued to stand there. He then told another yellow shirt..."handcuff this N***A* So me and my friends walked away. They stayed back.

We went back to the bridge and everyone was talking and asking what thier prob was. Finally a few mins later...these yellow shirts start walking towards us AGAIN. While we stood on the bridge. Me and my buddy walked away....when we turned around we saw they were comming after me and him! while 10 other people stood on the bridge.


At this point I felt like my life was in danger...me and him ran! THEY RAN!!!

We ran for about 4 blocks then jumpped in a cab. Went back to my car and went home.


I really want to tell someone about this night...it was complety un-called for. But I don't know where to begin. I can't find a e-mail for anyone at WB or even a Nolan e-mail address. Hell the freakin mayor dosen't have a e-mail.

Something tells me those guys were gonna hurt me and my friend...or worse.

I'll admit I wasent the perfect little boy....but they went beyond the line. They knew I didn nothing wrong but stand on a sidewalk. I never snapped a picture in front of them. As a matter of fact I didnt even take it out of my pocket. All of that joker footage is before they even showed up. The PA
s were cool with us until someone used a flash.


It makes me even more mad that other people have had problems with these meatheads!

How'd you reach that conclusion from this low quality pic

Thats what it kinda looks like to me but I could be wrong

 

[Conebone69]

Somebody get on capturing this news footage
http://www.myfoxchicago.com/myfox/p...n=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=7.1.1

Yes, only his face is white! That made my day

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Even while chatting up with the crew, Ledger looked creepy as hell in that make up. It looks sort of Beetlejuice-ish, but it works great.

 

[BubbaGump]

Duh. Teh Spys are using digital cameras. THEY'RE using a 5 million dollar IMAX cam.

Well the problem is that these knuckleheads aren't actually part of the crew, but rather a hired security team. If a PA walks up to you they are generally pretty cool, talk about the movie, tell you where to see the best angles, when to come back, that sort of thing. The yellow shirts don't know ****. One guy last Wednesday told TrueGrave and I to get off one of the bridges because, I swear to god he said this "If I can't see anything, neither will you." We laughed, told him we met Chris Nolan and had already seen Joker, called him a dick, and left.

They are no different than mall guards or school guards or any other outside hired security company. It's and easy job that take little to no intelligence, and that's why *******s get hired.

Yeah it does but I still love jokers look

 

[Victarion]

Yeah, when we met nolan some dum security guy thought we were sneaking into the set and came after me. If the PA didn't tell him to cool it, I'd still have a mark somewhere. He was pretty huge.

They try to dogpile on ya in front of Nolan? t:


Thanks for all the nice reports so far, man. Wish my chums and I could go out "bat hunting", but seeing as we're all the way down in Louisiana.

 

[HolyOrphan]

Best part was when that PA was like "No they're alright Corey. They're cool."

 

[Mel4Prez]

Yeah, it would be geat if the joker would design is own outfits like in B89. (I like the Dr. Evil look too). Maybe we can get the Joker in Armani ads as part of the publicity for the movie.

The NEW New kids on the Block (21st Centery version).

If one more person says something like this....

You know, a little while back i heard this same story from the POV of some people who were on the bridge and were looking at the pics too, which means that there were witnesses on this forum who saw them do that to you.
