'The Dark Knight Rises' will film in Pittsburgh
Tuesday, April 05, 2011
By Barbara Vancheri,

It's official. "The Dark Knight Rises" is coming to Pittsburgh this summer to film the third installment in Christopher Nolan's spectacular franchise starring recent Oscar winner Christian Bale in the title role.


Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan"Pittsburgh is a beautiful city," the London-born director said in a statement. "We have been able to find everything we were looking for here, and I am excited to spend the summer in Pittsburgh with our final installment of Batman."

Mr. Nolan, a favorite of audiences and critics who also made "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" along with "Inception," "The Prestige" and "Memento," met this morning with representatives of Mayor Luke Steelerstahl.

"We are thrilled to be welcoming the Batman film to Pittsburgh, and eager for the economic impact that our city will experience," the mayor said in a statement. "This is another example of the growing film industry in our community, and we will be rolling out the red carpet for them."

Dawn Keezer, director of the Pittsburgh Film Office, said the Warner Bros. production could be here for four to six weeks shooting in Downtown and nearby.

"They're still nailing down actual locations but what they really fell in love with was the diversity of architecture and the gorgeous buildings that we still have in Downtown Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas," she said.


Today's news has been four months in the making (and a couple of months in the rumor mill) and Ms. Keezer said the production had looked at cities elsewhere in this country and abroad. Mr. Nolan has been here a few times and staff multiple times.

"I think it's the most high profile project we've seen. I think it's as a direct result of the success we've had with the film tax-credit program that Pittsburgh is on the map and Southwestern Pennsylvania is considered now for every major production, which is great because it's all about jobs and money," she said.

"We've been thrilled with all the work we've had in Southwestern Pennsylvania but Batman's a known franchise. People know what Batman's about and we're thrilled that they have chosen Pittsburgh."

Ms. Keezer said it was too early to predict how many local cast or crew might be hired or what the demand for extras might be.

The film is slated to arrive in theaters nationwide July 20, 2012.

"A franchise as prestigious as Batman opens our region up to an entirely new audience as filmmakers and studio executives experience Southwestern Pennsylvania," Ms. Keezer said.

"The Dark Knight," released in July 2008, is the third highest grossing movie of all time. Its $533.3 million in North America puts it behind "Avatar" and "Titanic."


In addition to the returning Mr. Bale, who won an Academy Award for his work in "The Fighter," the third movie will introduce Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, who came to Pittsburgh for "Warrior," and Anne Hathaway, who filmed "Love & Other Drugs" here.....

new york knight called the white knight i heard

[ILikeToParty]

Im pumped about a 3rd batman movie of this kind after originally id heard there wasnt gonna be one because Ledger died.

Im not a movie guy by any means, pretty much if its not sports I dont care but these two batman movies were two of the best movies ive ever seen.

The Dark Knight literally may be the best movie Ive ever seen. Theres just so many different and incredible storylines and scenes in that movie it is literally pulse pounding throughout the whole thing. Its obviously a fairy tale of sorts but the cool thing is the stuff is just realisitic enough without being too far fetched (obv its far fetched but nothing like some movies).

The scene where he steals the asian guy from China or wherever is just fukn awesome. The vision of Batman standing on that big skyscraper looking down then jumping of ids ****ing awesome, and i was never a cartoon or comic book guy but it was bad ass

Also I know its been said 1,000,000 times but Ledger was friggen awesome as the joker and I was never a ledger fan either, couldnt get the brokeback images from my mind!!!

Hardy's Bane will over shadow Ledger's Joker!!

[JR7302001]

This won't be as good as part 2! Even in the comics they don't know how to use Bane! At one point he is bad and breaks Batman's back, then the next time he is good and living with Batman! To much confusion!!!
