The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR General Discussion & Speculation Thread - Part 7

[Kynergy]

I don't think this has been posted yet, maybe it has, I don't know.

Bigelow Boulevard will close between Fifth and Forbes avenues in Oakland tonight so it can be used as a base camp for vehicles used in the filming of the Batman movie.

Some more closing times and dates are posted in that article as well.

At the press conference, road and building closures will be discussed along with some other information related to filming in the area. However, the film plot and other particulars will remain top secret and will not be discussed.

 

[Kane52630]

Just as expected.

[Kynergy]

There are a bunch of reports at the conference, yet, no live stream?

Ugh! Oh well.

Some tweets (@PghBizTimes):

#Batman director Christopher Nolan in news release: #Pittsburgh welcome, architecture "will bring enormous production value" to #DarkKnight

Every time door opens, every photographer gets in position. So far, it hasn't been #Batman star.


Lots of press waiting for #Batman to begin.

 

[Dragon_316ca]

No live stream and they're running late.

 

[kvz5]

Looks like they just arrived!

Here are some other tweets from a reporter there.

#Batman is wearing a track jacket and blue shoes. No cape. #Pittsburgh

#Batman not taking questions. Afraid of #Pittsburgh media?

What's the point of Bale being there if he isn't going to talk?

That's not Caine on the far right, is it?

 

[Doc Phosphorus]

What's the point of Bale being there if he isn't going to talk?

He's there to protect Nolan from fanboys still irate over permawhite and/or microwave emitters.

Adam West sighting.....

 

[Van Petrol]

What's the point of Bale being there if he isn't going to talk?

He'll probably speak and/or give a statement, but just won't be allowed to answer any questions.

Adam West sighting.....

That doesn't look like West. In the other pic it looked like Caine, but I guess it isn't. Just some creepy guy I guess.

 

[kvz5]

Lol

christian bale wearing black track shot looking cool, not to be a fanboy or anything #iamanerd dark knight

[BatFan88]

[Milkman95]

Yeah, I'm sure Bale will say a few words, but nothing more.

Get some spy pics of where they're storing all the vehicles......
