Filming in Chi-Town?
Author: Jett From
Thursday, April 12, 2007 - 9:27 PM CENTRAL TIME: Via The Windy City from scooper "PDUMNOTW." And yes, I know that's a lot of consonants:

"I haven't seen it myself, but a co-worker just told me they are filming TDK right now...in the West Loop of Chicago. The set is labeled as 'RFK,' I'm assuming for 'Rory's First Kiss.' The filming is supposedly near the Union Station train station, near the Jackson street post office. I'm going to try to duck out and see it, if I do I will report back." I'll buy a vowl now Pat...

Ah, begins that nice time when set pics and reports start to pop up... sure, we´ll go through a lot of pics of trucks and buildings, but something nice always shows up.

Damn yall. The report on the front page has it on the south side on Loomis over by UIC ... which was literally a 2 minute walk from my old apartment. DAMN. Anyway, as I did the last time I'll be at all the filming spots in Chicago, and I'll get back to you guys tonight hopefully with news and pics.

Last I heard, they were. But that was several weeks ago.

 

[Darknightnomis]

Coolness.

 

[Mee]

Cool beans.

 

[Steelsheen]

is this the main unit or one of the secondary units?

 

[astheniac]

great news, things are going to pick really soon i think.

 

[TheSpyAssassin]

Im totally going to try to run over there after i get out of class today!

That's right- they're crashing in my garage for a couple of weeks. Heath earns his keep around the place, but Chris is a slob.

 

[SeriousDuke]

This is very good news. I can't wait for the first pic! Also, I'm moving to Chicago in around August time. I hope I can catch some filming.

I don't know. But Nolan is known by filming himself all his stuff, so, even if Bale or Oldman (or others from main cast) are not involved with these scenes, it's almost for sure that Nolan will be there.

 

[jimmy]

Great news.

 

[Ecstasy]

This is good to hear. Hopefully, pics, huh?

 

[jayskate]

Doesn't surprise me. Lazy Welsh b***ard.

Here's more from BOF:

"Right now they're doing test shooting in Chicago, with second unit production to start next week. The film will then go to England in two weeks and return to Chicago from early June till September.

Today they're doing some stunt tests and supposedly there a school bus set up on track that's supposed to be run into wall, I don't know if they be doing this today or later."
