*The first scene of our filming day is the kick off scene.
And from what we're hearing we're in for some really special surprises as to who's on the Gotham Rogues football team.
We'll keep you posted as we hear more about this.
We still don't know which of the cast will be on set that day.


* It will be a late fall to winter scene in Gotham City...
So we're going to need everyone to wear a coat or jacket that they can take off between scenes. Dress for hot weather under the coat. If you have any coats or jackets that are "gold and black", please bring them, otherwise dark or black jackets or coats work.

*Absolutely NO ONE WILL BE ADMITTED WEARING ANY LOGO'S, OF ANY KIND. This includes anything, nothing that is Steeler's related or Batman or Dark Knight or Sport Team, or Company related etc. You will not be allowed to enter the set with anything you have with you that has a Logo. You will have to go home if wearing logos. It's a very serious legal thing for the filming of Dark Knight Rises.


*Looks like they're going to allow us to make signs to bring and wave. That's only if you want to bring one of course.


*About the Weather: It will probably be VERY HOT and SUNNY. So dress lightly under the coats you're bring to be in the scene. Well be removing the coats between scenes. No One Wearing Shorts will be admitted onto set, even though hot. Just wouldn't match the scene.

*More about Weather: Production is asking you to: Bring an umbrella with you to keep the sun off of you during breaks in filming. Bring Suntan Lotion with you.

•More On Weather: Looks like THEY ARE FILMING RAIN OR SHINE (as long as there's no lightning going on). Truth is, hey, this is Gotham City... and Gotham as you remember from past films is a Very Very Moody Place. So, whatever the weather Dark Knight Rises IS filming. If it starts raining too hard we will move under the stadium overhangs to keep dry till it lets up.



Well that is a whole lot of info from the casting company. Who is the special surprise play on the Gotham team? Is it a cast member? Could Bruce Wayne be a punter? Or did they recruit a real honest to goodness NFL player to come in? Which is probably more likely since the NFL players are on strike and have nothing better to do.

What else did we discover? It stinks to be an extra in the summer when you're filming a winter scene, that's for sure. Geez, putting on a large winter coat and not passing out seems to be the biggest challenge for the extras.

By the way, the choice of making a sign? Love it! I'd make a terrific sign for the Gotham Rogues....once i figure out what the hell a Rogue mascot would look like.


The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th 2012 and stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Garly Oldman as Jim Gordon, Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate.

Dick Grayson was in the football team in the animated series. Probably not him but it'd be awesome.

My guess is bench warmer Bane is gonna charge onto the field, take the quarterback's head off and carry it into the Rogue's endzone for a touchdown

Bane disguised as a player when he sets off a bomb in the audience? Gordon breathes in too much smoke > to the hospital?

@Despero .....that's exactly what this movie needs. Bane planting bombs......maybe after each bomb he sets up in the stadium he can literally say "bomb".....sad part is, I don't know if I am being sarcastic or not. While that would only make me think of the horror that was Batman and Robin....it would still be hilarious for Nolan to call out Schumacher blatantly like that.

@spesaint

Maybe you didn't know... but the scene in the stadium involves explosions. Bane set it off. I was half joking-half speculating with my statement: "Bane disguised as a player when he sets off a bomb in the audience?" The Joker was disguised as a Cop in The Dark Knight. Why can't Bane pretend to be one of the players? Bane's tactic in this film is to engulf building in flames, therefore the breather mask.

I'd guess Dick Grayson is on the team, it'd be a great way to name-drop without having to go anywhere with it.

Gotham's football team is the Knights, though!

Not that I really care. I'm just being a supergeek about it.

I live about 4 hours away from Shittsburgh.I'm thinkin about signing up and going to it.I'm trying to find other people to go,but none of my friends are really as interested in movies as I am.I need someone to be the navigator for me,since I suck at directions and get lost easily.But it would be so awesome to be in the movie even though I probably wouldn't see myself and my name wouldn't be in the credits.But just being in it would be pretty tight.

Maybe the scene is Batman saving an underage girl from Ben Rapistburger before he does what he does in real life.Falcons all the way!!!
