One of our readers, RL, spotted No Parking signs for “MAGNUS REX” (TDKR’s working title) filming on West 58th Street between 7th and 5th Ave in NYC on Friday, 10/28 for 6 AM to Midnight.
In addition to this new location info, we also heard a few rumors about the big scene they’ll be filming on Wall Street. There are expected to be more than 1000 extras used in the scene which will be set in a Gotham that has been taken over by Bane. After months of chaos the cops return and the “good guys” battle it out with the “bad guys” for the streets of Gotham. Tom Hardy and Christian Bale are both expected to be there in full costumes as Bane and Batman. Its also rumored that they will begin rehearsing for the shoot in a couple day at Riis Park.
Just the other day
Movie Master posted an article about an owner of a martial arts dojo, who wrote on his facebook that he'd be an extra in the New York shoot. The brief details that he gave were simply this, he'll be a Gotham City SWAT officer, and that the scene would be the "largest fight scene EVER."
Add that with the new information from onlocationvacations.com and I do believe New Yorkers are in for quite a treat. Having over a thousand extras duking it out on Wall Street will dwarf that melee we saw Christopher Nolan film during the Pittsburgh shoot.
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.
