"Batman Begins" Sequel Filming (Some Spoilers)
 

So, they're filming near my school (as they did for the previous film) at the Old Chicago Post Office on Van Buren street near the Chicago River (remember those bridge scenes in the first movie?).
There are filming bulletins posted up around saying the project is entitled RFK "Rory's Firs Kiss". Rory is the name of the director's, Christopher Nolan, son.
The Post Office is transformed into Gotham City National Bank with an extension added on for the Joker's grand entrance crashing into the building.
The scene entails a bank robbery by the Joker and three henchmen. Batman swoops in with a grand entrance and a car chase entails.
This will be the opening scene for the movie.

The following photos are taken through various sources, I don't dare to take my camera as the security will confiscate your camera if they catch you. I've been to the set twice: when they were doing the actual bank robbery scene in the late evening and at midnight when they had Batman (Christian Bale) gliding around in the air on wires; his cape is huge in real life. When I was there that one day for the robbery scene, they did practice runs from 3pmish to about 5pmish and started filming between 6-9pm.

(The extension. There's an open gap for the doors. My guess is there are going to put in CGI revolving doors later)

(Ledger is wearing a mask too with his henchmen, though he has the green slick hair and white face paint when walking around during breaks, but the set security does a good job of hiding transporting him around without anyone seeing)

Theyre still filming it? I remember seeing a pic maybe 4 months back with ledger all made up in the joker outfit. Ida thought by now they would have been in post production.

That was just make up testing I believe. I think I know what photo you're referring to, it was a portrait shot of Ledger in costume/makeup holding a multi-coloured photo of some sort?

I asked a film crew guy about the scene and he said all this so far was just pre-production shooting. They're going to London after this week to shoot till June when they come back to Chicago for more key/action scenes.

Does that mean anything to you?

[quote="TGB!":b5a49]WTF - that first pic was posted on AICN; so you're saying that was you that had his pictures reported all over the internet? I call bullshits.[/quote:b5a49]

TGB the GF1 Seagull swoops into a thread, makes allot of noise, craps on everything and then leaves :)

Not that you're wrong on your assumptions the post dose seem suspicious.

Can you guys not read? He said he didn't take the pics. oOo:

"I don't dare to take my camera as the security will confiscate your camera if they catch you."

I think that sentence there pretty much states that he didn't take the pics.

what a load of fuckin drama as usual.
Anyway, wish i never opened this thread, never understood the reason why people would want to see fuzzy/distorted/confusing photos of people and locations of film shoots before the movie is done...

doesn't it just ruin the film? what would anyone have to gain from seeing photos like this? bragging rights on what you know about whats going to happen in the film?

Hmmm....

Welcome to AA.COM/GF1/FPSGamers. . .

though in fairness sparks does come out with quite alot of floating shit.

Elstatec you English wanker, back off for once, geez.

I'll take photos when they come back in June to finish off the bank robbery scene. I have a lot of work to do this week. My friend is going tonight, if he takes pictures I'll post them here seeing as he probably won't post them anywhere but on his FaceBook profile.

again I will quote Judas when referring to you.

hey thats my response!

sounds better coming from a dead guy though

Is Judas a Bible reference or someone actually named Judas here?

both, either way feel free to make like either of them.

What happened to Judas (non-Bible guy)?

Elstatec acted like a pain in the ass to him too?

he made a joke about raping my 1 year old so I killed him

that is one giant rubix cube.

I wonder if he [Ledger] will be doing a crazy laugh himself or a sound team will edit them in. Or if they just eliminate the whole cold-blooded-crazy laugh.

he looks pretty stupid.


why cant they just leave jack nickelsons performance alone and do a different batman story spank:

Am I an English wanker too? eek:

Derby hats and tea?

Thats definately not the pic i seen of him, the one i seen had him standing in some kidna weird pose with a long coat and i (think) a lightning bolt striking in the distance.

What's wrong with tea? Prefer just crumpets? Make your bad teeth look any better?

think they played out those cliché's in the simpsons back in 1995, and that was old enough.

you can tell you are new to this internet messageboard thing aint you?

anitahead > you

Sparks, how old are you?

i guess now you are 18 your father is now allowing you to "surf" the net without NetNanny. Tell me have you visited ebaumsworld yet, lots of stuff to catch up on first!

Hey maybe you will meet Michael J Fox on your travels way back into time, remember you won't have to shake him off after he pisses into your mouth!
