[MiniBond]

Don't remember what happened at the time of TDK shooting but they wouldn't organize this if they had nothing to say ...?

One of the guys over on the FB group said his friend saw a stuntman test riding the batpod in a secluded parking lot just a bit ago. He thinks the shooting will be happening this evening

Dragon got more details on who will be at the press conference:

I could see us getting the official logo. Nothing more. This is just a 'smiling for the cameras' bit that they do for the city in order to thank them for letting them film there.

 

[Boom]

It'll probably just be Nolan and Co. talking about why they chose Pittsburgh, and how excited they are to work there.

I wouldn't expect a plot synopsis, photos, or anything of that sort.

 

[kvz5]

Maybe it will slip on whether there's a new Batsuit. I can see Bale talking about the suit and the weather like he did in the TDK press conference. Maybe he'll say something like "this new one is more comfortable than the last one".

Didn't we just get the official logo...

This is promotion in and of itself and a general thanks to Pittsburgh simply.

And this is why someone should just ask, really nonchalant, as if they already know "Is your new suit even more comfortable?". And then bam, confirmation.

No. just like how the joker grafitti and burning building logos werent the official logos. There will be some signage to showcase the films title. They may just use that teaser art though.

Yup. Now whether a member of the press can throw in a question like that casually is another question.

Or the one they used at the marketing expo recently...

"The Dark Knight Rises" director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale will be in Pittsburgh on Thursday, and the Steel City's transformation into Gotham City will be complete beginning Friday when crews start filming inside and outside a Lawrenceville building.

The film is on a tight lockdown with almost complete secrecy, per Nolan and Warner Bros. Only a few details, connected to the street closings that will occur from this weekend into the middle of August, have been released. No media will be allowed to film or take pictures of the shooting.

Other shooting scenes throughout August include Trinity Cathedral, Steel Plaza, the Wabash Tunnel and a truck chase on Cherry Way, Smithfield Street and Exchange Way. The plan for Wednesday, Aug. 10, includes "full snow effects" with fake snowfall and limited access Downtown on that day in particular.

 

[kvz5]

Awesome!

Church again, huh? The building scenes might be WE related.

Trinity Cathedral:

Spoiler

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Snowfall + Bat-pod =

 

[Dragon_316ca]

Forgot to add:

- Shooting is scheduled to end Sunday, Aug. 21, with filming at the Frank Bryan Cement Plant in McKees Rocks.

​

 

[QueenChaos]

Snow!
This is all quite exciting, August is going to be an interesting month.

Trinity Cathedral:

Spoiler

THAT reminds me:

There's a church scene with Gordon and Bane and while it's quiet it's truly sinister

According to the Ninja

 

[Boom]

If security is going to be as tight as those articles make it sound, I wish our spies all the best of luck.

 

[Solidus]

If I were the spies I'd put on my Solid Snake bandana, and sneak around with your IPOD blaring MGS soundtracks lol that's just me though, maybe it would help you. (Bring a cardboard box)

 

[QueenChaos]

According to the Ninja

Oooo... that's truly intriguing, I love the sound of it.
