At the start of this month we saw video footage of Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway filming scenes for the upcoming sequel film Batman: The Dark Knight Rieses in the UK and a few weeks later, we saw the first signs of life on the Pittsburgh, PA set of the film. This weekend, filming was in FULL swing on the streets of Pittsburgh as many of main Batman actors surfaced on set for duty. Only Tom Hardy, in character as Bane, was dressed in any significant costume … but Christian Bale (Bruce Wayne/Batman), Gary Oldman (Commissioner Gordon) and Marion Cotillard (Miranda Tate) were among the big names on set yesterday.
From the Post Gazette: On 41st Street between Butler and Foster streets, director Christopher Nolan was on-site to oversee the film’s first day of shooting in Pittsburgh. Under his watchful eye, dozens of cargo-short clad staffers converted picturesque row house No. 170 into the home of a Gotham City judge, played by Brett Cullen. Piles of fake snow dotted the sidewalks, and black canvas drapes and heavy-duty screens blotted out the sun to create a dreary winter backdrop. Wind and dust machines were on hand to create a storm, even though Pittsburgh skies threatened their own as the afternoon wore on. Gary Oldman’s police Commissioner Jim Gordon ran up the house’s steps in take after take to alert the judge to dirty dealings and increasing violence in Gotham. Well-meaning Wayne Enterprises board member Miranda Tate, played by Marion Cotillard, came to the judge’s house in a scene with Commissioner Gordon and Detective Jim Blake, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Ms. Cotillard braved the heat in leather boots and a navy wool peacoat, which she quickly shed at the end of the take, while Mr. Gordon-Levitt was lucky enough to film in shirtsleeves.
I’ve yet to see any photos of Joseph Gordon-Levitt on set and another report claims that Anne Hathway (Selina Kyle/Catwoman) was spotted on set in a prison jumpsuit. Man … now that filming has moved here to the US, we are likely to see a LOT of great photos from the set. I would bet good money that it will be a very long time before we get to see Anne in costume as Catwoman … but I’m terribly curious. These first photos are cool … can’t wait to see more.
UPDATE: Pink reader Jess pointed me in the direction of a video that shows Tom Hardy filming his scenes in Pittsburgh:
