I thought they scrapped the whole monorail thing in TDKR.

Good to see it back.

 

[Lifejumper]

Man the soundtrack is going to be unbelievable epic.

What a fucking cool billboard.

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

And Los Angeles yes. But the big city shots are New York.

Wrong. The big city shots are of Pittsburgh with spliced in buildings from New York and London.

 

[effzee]

Where is that billboard? LA?

Yup they got big ben

I think somebody will try and steal that.

They filmed in London? I thought for gotham it was mostly pittsburg/NY and some LA?

Stealing a hole?

I think the Wayne mansion stuff was shot in London. The police station/precint was also shot there.

I think Glasgow was used as well iirc?

 

[Lonestar]

Think that's the prologue/plane stuff

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Dany]

Yeah, just for the prologue stuff. I remember reading that a stuntsman parachuted on top of someones house when filming that, apparently something went wrong with that scene. :?

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Think that's the prologue/plane stuff

I'm pretty sure that was Aberdeen. I believe some of Glasgow architecture was used for random scenes of Gotham.

What are the odds that Ebert lowers TDKR's score because Gotham doesn't look like Chicago in this one?

What a petty reason to score a film on.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

What does it mean?

 

[MyAbsolution]

What are the odds that Ebert lowers TDKR's score because Gotham doesn't look like Chicago in this one?

Did he seriously mark down the second or first film for that reason?

What?

 

[Dany]

What?

The second film was filmed in chicago.

 

[MyAbsolution]

Well that I knew... but I mean he took a mark off because it didnt look ENOUGH like Chicago?

Its supposed to look like Gotham.

Gene Siskel is probably rolling around in his grave.

What are you rambling about? He liked how BB and TDK were filmed in chicago, his home city. That's all there is to it.

 

[MyAbsolution]

Whoops guess I misinterpreted.

 

[Dany]

Im sure he doesn't care about something like that

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I was merely referring the fact that he seemed to enjoy the idea of Chicago being Gotham in the past.

The movie was shot on location in Chicago, making good use of the murky depths of lower Wacker Drive and the Board of Trade building (now the Wayne Corp.). Special effects add a spectacular monorail down La Salle Street, which derails in the best scene along those lines since "The Fugitive."

Yes, the special effects are extraordinary. They focus on the expected explosions and catastrophes, and have some superb, elaborate chase scenes. The movie was shot on location in Chicago, but it avoids such familiar landmarks as Marina City, the Wrigley Building or the skyline. Chicagoans will recognize many places, notably La Salle Street and Lower Wacker Drive, but director Nolan is not making a travelogue. He presents the city as a wilderness of skyscrapers, and a key sequence is set in the still-uncompleted Trump Tower. Through these heights, the Batman moves at the end of strong wires, or sometimes actually flies, using his cape as a parasail.

Do you think they might have filmed the final shot of the plane fuselage for reals?, like

Spoiler

dropping it

from under a helicopter or something?

I always wondered why they needed 4 copies of it in Scotland.

Wrong. The big city shots are of Pittsburgh with spliced in buildings from New York and London.

What? The big helicopter cityscapes are pure New York, except the one with added monorails and W A Y N E sign, plus cgi destruction obviously.

Most of the chase shots are Pittsburgh.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I'm going into the movie assuming everything is real, including the murder of nearly two entire football teams.

Who knows, maybe they shot a scene of someone going over the wreckage, like a button shot to go against that little bit of dialogue in the Prologue.

Yeah possibly.

Nearly?

This is where Hardy in the tunnel and Ward were relative to each other, but it might play out differently in the film.

Oh I hope that goes away ASAP. I don't even want to know how the explain the plane being all over the place and the dude with Bane's whatever he switched

That's the stretch of turf he ran down, and the 3 holes are presumably for the players you see running and falling, to jump down into, to give them a credible look of falling into a hole.

Edit: never mind. The far end collapses further than Hines Ward's end, he's lucky! I wonder why they got rid of the yellow grass though, maybe it looked more seamless this way.

Could always assume they digitally took it out. Same with the holes (and most of the field).

Wonder how the entire scene goes, leading up to, and obviously after. I can't think that it'd just cut away to Catwoman stealing jewelry in the nude...well, ok, maybe then it would be ok.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

There's a scene in the TV spots where

Spoiler

a sky box in the stadium gets blown up.

I mean, Bane is a leading a revolution, and he's just completing terrorizing those poor people in attendance.

 

[Blader]

Cannot make sense of this sentence

 

[Daft_Cat]

Yah. That's almost certainly what they did.

Spoiler

Same with the shots of the fuselage suspended vertically while Bane's men rappel down it. You can tell because there's no forward momentum in those shots..it's just hanging there, as opposed to being dragged by a plane. Had they gone the vfx route, the physics would've been as accurate as possible. It's definitely suspended from a chopper.

Hmm, I never considered they were doing the other part from a helicopter but you could be right. Nolan was ripping off Licence to Kill more than we realised!

“It was the first time I ever heard Christian say he was tired,” Hardy remembers. “I was watching him for however many months getting beaten up and wet and cold, and he never said anything. Inside, I was dying, but I was thinking, ‘This can’t bother me because he’s not bothered.’ But on Wall Street, he just turned and said, ‘You know what? I’m exhausted.’ I said, ‘Me too.’”

“We stopped the fight and started hugging each other,” Bale adds.

On the film as a whole, Hathaway is equally enthusiastic. “I think that it will be surprising but very, very satisfying. I say, ‘In Nolan we trust.’”

 

[ThatObviousUser]

It looks like that's actually what he's saying.

 

[raphier]

The young actor plays John Blake, a Gotham City police officer who proves his mettle to Commissioner Gordon and becomes one of his most trusted allies. He also shares a connection to Bruce Wayne in that he, like Bruce, is an orphan.

And I won’t specify why, but I was not disappointed. It really does feel like a conclusion.”

What are you talking about Mr. Blake.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

[JB1981]

Did he seriously mark down the second or first film for that reason?

What?

No he loved both, gave them 4 stars and IIRC he named TDKR the best comic book movie ever

 

[rekameohs]

What are you talking about Mr. Blake.

There's a second part to the interview.

"And I won’t specify why, but I was not disappointed. It really does feel like a conclusion. Playing Nightwing fucking ruled. It was also bitchin' to be able to work with comedy legend Eddie Murphy as The Riddler for this film.”

"‘In Nolan we trust.’"

Hardy gets it.
