The Dark Knight Extras Casting!

There's two TDK postings on that page... The bottom one listed under "Joan Philo Casting" is obviously TDK since it mentions the April filming. Also, I wonder why they need a stand-in for Asian Male (20's-60's) dark hair and/or clean shaven, 5'5" to 6'3" ...? Anyone think there might be an Asian main character (from the comics) appearing in the next film?

I think I'll try going for the TDK extra gig again (it's not everyday there's a chance to be in batman film). Last time, they called me for Stranger Than Fiction instead of BB :cmad:. Anyone else going?

I live in Chicago...I can be your insider.

In February, we received a letter from WB that they were interested in using our home for a "Major Motion Picture" - couldn't tell us the name of the movie though. The location scout came and took dozens of photos - along with about 60 other homes. We were told that if we made it to the final round - about six homes - "key people" would visit our humble abode in person.

Late February, Christopher Nolan and his crew of about 6-8 flew in from London and visited our home in person. While we made it to the last round, unfortunately we were not ultimately selected. (we live in Wrigleyville and they selected a home in the Uptown neighborhood)

As a consolation prize, we can be extras in the movie and/or visit the set during filming.

So...I'm your insider. What do you want to know?

Lucky YOU and a lot luckier than Eric Bana and Drew Barrymore.

Anything you can share us would be great.

What was Christopher Nolan like? Did he talk much or did he just snoop around the place....?

When are they starting in your area? Are you basically gonna be an extra just for the scene that would've been in your house? When is that filming starting?

Second question: any idea of what's being filmed there? If you had to guess, would you say it could be the home of a character like Dent? (in other words, is your house nice enough to be the home of a lawyer?).

no offense but its your first post. :o

if it is true than :wow:...:woot:...:wow:...:wow:...:batty:
 
A buddy of mine said that he had to pretend to be witness to a car exploding.
 
this is a painful subject . . . I was TOTALLY about to go and try out, as I live in Milwaukee, and Chicago is a modest 100 miles from me . . . but it was poorly planned and gas prices don't help :(
 
Alright - posting #2.

What was Christopher Nolan like? Personally, not very friendly. His crew was awesome, outgoing and very complimentary. I know that Christopher had a job to do and came into the house, snooped around, took some measurements and went on his merry way. Never introduced himself, even after I shook his hand and introduced myself. Oh well.

Our house is one block north of Wrigley Field. I always questioned the use of our home for filming only because of the conflicts with home games. That being said, other homes on our street have been used for television shows, no major motion pictures to my understanding. I believe our house was being looked at for the detective's home, although everyone was very tight lipped and I only found that out from a snoopy neighbor. What we were told is that our house was too nice for what they needed - Uptown, which is a bit more industrial and edgy, would have been more appropriate.

Filming begins June 9th in Chicago. While they have 13 weeks books for filming, the large majority of the filming will be done in June. (this was also told to us when they were looking at our home).

I will definately have more scoop early June. We will get to potentially "choose" a scene to visit - preferably something with lots of action as I have young kids. The extra piece of it is a bit up in the air for us - my seven year old is dying to be an extra but there is a lot of wait time involved so I have to prep her for it. Also, will know more information in June. If anyone has preference of scenes, let me know.

I will write a "trip report" and post pictures of the action when it happens.

Sorry I don't have more information right now, but I'll post more when I get it. I found this thread when I did a search on the extra casting - I drove by the long line for it on Saturday and noticed that the casting door said "Rory's First Kiss" and they weren't using any references to Batman or The Dark Knight.

P.S. I'm a she, not a he! :)
