[DigitalKill]

man, I am so jealous! I sent my information, but nothing yet! I am still hoping!

 

[Carnotaur3]

I really want to be called by the open casting call too Aghhhh!

It's open casting call... you just show up to the auditions, I'm sure.

Nah, we already went. Now it's a matter of call-back. They have to call you in for a fitting and then the shoot.

Ah, should've read the whole thread I guess.

Cool, are these the ones Bane and his mercs have the hostages strapped to?

Great pics fcee. this beast looks ready for some action.

Well, the majority of the shoot was inside. I will say this was the coolest gig of my life. I'm even featured in one of the shots! Unsure if it will be used or not. I have some of that charcoal burnt rubber stuff that blows up as a souvenir from my first stunt work. No I will not say what the stunt was or what happens - don't ask, once again, confidentiality. I take it very seriously. Even my closest personal friends can't get a word out of me, they'll have to wait until Nolan wants that scene to be released via trailer or film itself.

The guy earlier who said he has the script? That I personally doubt. If anyone recalls how top secret and the measures taken with The Dark Knight script were. We were even told some members of the crew don't know the full low down on the story. This is top secret stuff. Although I did get my hands on a big blockbuster script coming out this Christmas... due to having worked before within WB -- another in-studio script? I saw just how restrictive it can be.

p.s. I sat beside one of the X-Men on a shuttle from set before (on a different movie, not this one - to avoid possible confusion), know a family member of one of the Spider-Man actors, spoke with Ben "Daredevil" Affleck one-on-one, and practically shook hands with Zach Snyder. Somehow the fanboy stars just align with me - I know some won't believe that, hell I wouldn't. BUT, due to "working within" and practically being "in" - once again, confidentiality is key... if the scene is shown in the trailer I can say what it was like shooting it or just wait until the film itself comes out.

To close out, I just have four words: In Nolan I trust. And so should you guys! This will TOP The Dark Knight!

 

[RedSkull]

so why bother posting? "I KNOW SO MUCH COOL STUFF BUT I CANT TELL YOU ANY OF IT" Here's what happens in the script.

Ras a Ghul is actually Batman all along and Gordon is a transvestite.

 

[Ultimatehero]

Any of it... yet... hold your horses and calm down dude, judging by your av - you're kinda getting red in the face. When the scene is shown though? Whether it be by trailer or film? A lot more info will be coming your way on the ins-and-outs of how Nolan, cast, and crew went about capturing that moment like a "visiting the set" article.

Also it pertains - Batman shooting in LA.

I think he means if you can't say anything yet... then don't say anything now because your post feels like it could've come from anybody.

I actually gave general information away on that top blockbuster film coming out this December in it's thread that wasn't spoiler material. Thus, just look at that to see I'm legit.

 

[Dragon_316ca]

Ultimate, was the scene shot on IMAX? And did all the extras wore business attire?

 

[Ultimatehero]

Dragon, I'm betting you were there at lunch watching us lol? I can't say. There were many people on the street across from us I'm surprised some of you didn't see us. I saw you. I will say there was a wide variety of costumes like with any other scene. I will not say what these costumes were since that would be giving away too much. The wardrobes were all very impressive though.

I can say that Nolan used the IMAX camera. We had two of them. Which was very impressive considering I've heard there are only eight in existence? The scene didn't seem like one that would necessarily bring a lot to the IMAX though unless there was aspects we didn't see. I have no idea what those cars were doing outside... but, a part of me believes a LARGE portion of the movie might be in IMAX since this scene was. Once again, I could be wrong since this is all guess work.

Also thanks for asking questions that I could somewhat answer dude, those of us who are backgrounding - just keep in mind the level of questions actors on contract can answer in interviews. I'm just taking cues from them on what I can or can not say. And that does not mean a slip-up like Irrfan Khan (Amazing Spider-Man... talking that, we've got crew members from ASM, Star Trek & Social Network - thus we are in very good hands). Basically, the shoot? Yes. I can say how awesome everyone was. The professionalism that went into it. How lucky I was to "work" with them. Plot or even sound or specific costume areas? I can't contractually go there.

Also Fcviper - the food rocks! I think it's a professional cook or restaurant that does it. Menu changes daily. Even if you eat breakfast beforehand, go for the manually fresh squeezed OJ. Also be sure to arrive early as there will most likely be a shuttle to take you to set. And leave your cell phone in the car, check out? That can be a pain for those who brought it.

No, it's believable. A BS'er would have at least given us something to talk about. This is just a whole bunch of zilch. For such persistent "I will not say..." statements, one would expect fewer words.

I think we get it.

 

[Dragon_316ca]

Thanks for answering my questions. Interesting insight you got there.

Actually, there are only four in existence, according to Paul Franklin's tweet: http://***********/#!/PaulJFranklin/status/112814328801001472

Well, overall it was a BIG scene so it won't get cut out - also why it's difficult for me to navigate around what I can and can't say without possibly giving anything important away. Watch those cars. Unsure. None of us knew what was going on with them. I'd also love to see that video once/if it comes out. Total time? Two days for what amounts to four minutes screen time. We covered it from every angle possible. Also why I'm unsure why the IMAX cameras were used for it if it was just what I saw - it goes by so fast. I might be in the background or I could, hopefully, be center stage for one shot depending on if it stays or goes.

Another very interesting story that I overheard? In the scene where Batman is fighting Bane surrounded by other fights outside in the snow? It was near impossible to keep people out of the way. There were people everywhere - including somehow on the rooftop of that very building! I'm kinda surprised we were able to keep this as low key as we did in those regards.

I assume this is where the "Truck Drop from Upper Grand" is going to take place at.

Holycrap that are really much vehicles.

Haha, seriously. It just comes off as sad - the constant name-dropping and attempts to make himself look like he's "on the inside" and has all this "secret info" for this movie and others, when at the end of the day, he was a nameless background extra amongst thousands for one minor scene.

"Dude, I know someone who's related to someone in a superhero movie! Oh, and also, this one time, I didn't shake Zach Synder's hand!"



The guy really just needs to get over himself. Nobody's impressed. If he doesn't want to share the story of his "experience," then he should just walk away and stop trolling.

I don't think that's accurate. Last I heard there were around 30.

I completely agree.

"I can not say what happened. I will not leak information."

Great, so then you basically are another fan among the rest of us who doesn't now jack ***** since no information can be shared. The constant "I can not and will not" can stop. We get you cant share any information, so finish what you are going to say or just leave this board entirely. It's no fun reading the same thing over and over and reading you brag on about how you are on the inside. This thread used to be a blast to come to. A few weeks ago I was on non stop during the day and now I come by once or twice because its gone completely in a different direction.

Ultimate,
I asked you how you got your foot in the door just to hear how exciting it probably was and is going for you and to maybe get some pointers and you gave me a completely snobby answer as if you are better than all of us and finished off with "Now back to topic --" haha you can go screw yourself if you are gonna come here all high and mighty, bro. This isnt the place for that. We are just all fans trying our best at getting pictures and information as it comes out for the sake of adding to our movie experience. You come on here like you own the place. So if you have any more information NOT to give or anything else you CANT say, you can find your way out

Now...back to topic.

 

[Polaris23]

Where is the shooting location for tomorrow (Sunday)?

I tend to agree as well. Why bother posting if you're not going to reveal anything? All you're doing is SHOWING OFF the fact that you you're on set and got to see stuff first hand (whatever that means considering he was an extra).
I know a few other Hype members who actually got called in as extras and they aren't even admitting it to anyone. What's the point if you're not going to reveal anything, unless you just end it at "Hey, I got cast, cool!" bam.

Cool, looks like they've built rails to run it along or something? I'm going to miss that truck
