The Dark Knight Rises OFFICIAL: Batman in the Burgh

[Citadel30]

There was nothing but reserved empty spaces at the nigella blvd. Spot. And the exterior of now blackgate (woo!) is just the normal building exterior, no modifications. I'm out now but will be back in a couple hours to give more details.

How awesome is it that hundreds, maybe thousands of bat-nerds are hanging on your every word... Bahahahaha

I'm 5 min away hanging out at a friend's house. Wasn't anything going on around 8. That part of the street is gonna be closed for over a week, so I doubt there will be a lot tonight, I'll go back tomorrow night for sure, it'll be flooded with epicness then! I'll swing by in a few hours and see if there's anymore activity.

So is the signal going to be on the highmark building tonight until midnight for SURE? I wanna go out and see it, now that im free!

Local news just reported that filming will begin in a few hours at 41st street home. The street is already lined w cars including some gotham cabs. I live 6 blocks away so I plan on doing a lot of snooping around after work tomorrow. Ha they even paid a resident on the street to relocate his dog because he barks too loud and could be disruptive

Thanks for the tip! I'm currently sitting on the street where base camp is supposed to be in Oakland, on Bigelow blvd. They were supposed to close it at 8, but they didn't yet. Heading down to 41st street now!

Is 41st street Lawrenceville?

[zzpeto44]

Yea I am pretty exhausted but think it might be worth riding over myself

 

[Doctor Jones]

News segment zzpeto was talking about (after the very brief ad): http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/video-on-demand?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=6098995

 

[zzpeto44]

Took a ride over and snagged a pic of one of the cabs. Not much going on over there yet but I did see the actors trailers lined up in the grocery store parking lot nearby

 

[Solidus]

Man watching that news cast just got me so excited, its so cool for the people there. I can't wait to see some of the set videos, and footage, I remember the Joker on the skateboard, the flipping of the truck among many other things in Chicago 4 years ago for TDK. This is just awesome.

EDIT: Cool how they made the guy take down his flowers because its suppose to be fall/winter. I'm so stoked to see a Nolan Bat-Film in winter. Should make the chase scenes visually exciting and interesting.

"There are instances where inmates from Arkham Asylum are temporarily moved to Blackgate, such as when Bane destroyed the original Arkham building.[1] All of the Arkham inmates were incarcerated in Blackgate until the new Arkham structure was built and Arkham re-opened.[2]"

Just got back from checking out the set, it's exactly like zzpeto44 described it. They start filming at 7 AM tomorrow. I got pictures and a short video of the taxi cabs and the building inside. Talked to a few neighbors, supposedly they redid the entire inside of the house for the scene. Security guard out front was very friendly. Gonna work on getting the pics and video uploaded in the next few minutes.

 

[kvz5]

Wow, thanks for all the info! Did you guys find out who will be filming tomorrow? Any guesses on what the place/house will double for?

 

[Hypestyle]

... who will the teams be in this football game? does gotham have an NFL team? how about a college team?

Gotham city rogues vs. Rapid City Monuments, pro game. And I will be on the field! Cannot wait!

Well its a modest rowhouse in a working class neighborhood. My first guess would be Gordons home???

Ah, thanks! That makes sense. Or maybe Selina's house? Did you see any names in the trailers?

 

[darknight7]

The football game takes place August 6th, I'll be there!!!! Driving over to Pittsburgh for the weekend. CANNOT WAIT!

[Yurka]

Nice!

My guess would be Selina's. We saw the cab # and I guess someone stated that's the same one that shows up at Wayne Manor with Bruce and Selina.

......the power....... soo......tempting....[/Bilal]

 

[zzpeto44]

No I didn't see any names . It was pretty dark in the lot but there were quite a few of them for what I would imagine to be a small scene

 

[subaruwrxfan]

Didn't see any names on the trailers, all unmarked (from as close as I could get). Christmas theme for the house, so this is all taking place Pre-Christmas.



This is the house they are filming it. You can see the wallpaper in the video, wasn't able to get any good pictures of the inside, had a very traditional and simple theme to it.
