The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR General Discussion & Speculation Thread

[Kynergy]

So a friend of mine just told me he stopped at a truck stop on his way into Pittsburgh and there was a trailer there full of Gotham City Police cars.

I'm officially going into ninja mode now.

For the next 2 months, you should have a camera on you at all times.

I literally just put one in my backpack.

I'll try to go out and get some pics later today.

Just make sure you after you take the pictures, you don't give the camera to your friend's, brother's, sister's, boyfriend

Have we seen the C130?

I doubt they're the same, the "the" is probably meant to be an "a"

The BBC article caption under the pic of the C-130 says

The film's C130 Hercules at Inverness Airport

Lighten up, I never intimated that the film is about football. But I'm more than confident there will be close ups of the on-field action, and I hope it doesn't look as staged and ridiculous as football usually does in the movies. It's not a great big deal, I never said it was, just pointing out that it is one element of the film I have reservations about. I think you are more upset about my comment than I was about the possible football game footage.

i agree.... as big football fan... i also dread this scene... no hollywood director, much less nolan who probably never held a football... can really recreate a true football moment..

Yes and Nolan's experience dressed as a Bat beating up criminals have really ruined that aspect of the film as well

 

[Goku Goes Crazy]

Nice Yurka!

 

[TheBatman072]

True football moment! Hahaha!

Visited the Wollaton Hall site and it looks a lot less busy. The red-covered lighting rigs o the roof of the first floor have been removed. The graveyard still appears to be setup to the left of the house (as viewed from the front looking at the hall). There was still a lot of action around the cars and tents but I guess this may be to do with the filming packing up.

Anyway here's my rather poor quality pics!

I did also see one of the crew team carrying a box marked ELSTREE STUDIOS with lots of tamper seal tape (broken) which APPEARED to contain script material but I couldn't get close enough to confirm!

 

[The_Raganork]

AWESOME! Thanks Viglante.JJ

REALLY great work!

 

[Victarion]

I can only imagine how horrible Wally Pfister is bawing at not being able to create a convincing football scene.

Is that Modine in the olive-coloured jacket?

 

[Kynergy]

Some pictures is better than no pictures. Thanks Vigilante

 

[Pagan]

looks like they're leaving for the next location. We probably won't get any new news until Monday.

 

[rulsanr]

Thank you very much, Vigilante.JJ. It's always nice to see Batmanuel t:

Haha, yeah there will be none of that. I don't let anyone touch my goods (unless they buy me dinner first ).

No 8 hour train rides to get home, no lost usb chords and I always have my iphone with me. Huzzah!

Nice Yurka!

I'm gonna go out this afternoon and see if I can see anything.

 

[Bats]

It's possible they'll hire a stunt coordinator (with football experience) to do the football game. I really don't think Wally or Nolan would be drawing up plays and so forth.

The man may be British but he grew up in Chicago.

Nestor Carbonell?

 

[Asteroid-Man]

BATPLANE!? AWESOME!!!

 

[The_Raganork]

Nestor Carbonell?

Yes

 

[lukey37]

Who are the people in the top and bottom photos?

 

[Blue Sugar]

I think it is so awesome that Modine is starring in TDKR. Full Metal Jacket is one of my favorite movies of all time and of course Private Joker plays a huge part in that as the main protagonist.

^^ Those pictures are good enough for me. Was he wearing eyeliner? I MUST KNOW.

I really hope the scoopers are out in full force for the next location. There needs to be internet access at all times and cameras at the ready.



And by the sound of the complaints in here about the football it looks like we're going to see a whole football game in TDKR? It's gotta be 2 minutes footage for the most, plus whatever crowd reactions and such that Chris wants.

I find the lack of faith in Nolan very disturbing.

 

[Vigilante.JJ]

Nestor Carbonell?

Yes Nestor and he was dead polite and nice, from looking on IMDB I've identified Nestor Chris Ellis and Brett Cullen. Chris Ellis was very much the tourist whereas the other two were dead relaxed and easy going!

I didn't manage to get up and speak to them because I was working at the time but that said there were a few crew/production team checking out too. From what i could gather Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman checked out last night which is a shame I would loved to have seen them! Apparently Christian bale was in the bar the night before but that's someone saying they saw and then third hand to me!

 

[venus_ice]

Try and stake out JGL because he's there at least until the end of the weekend.
