Filming Location Reports July 20th, 2007

Our read­ers are report­ing on a num­ber of pos­si­ble film­ing loca­tions in Chicago, firstly Tony sent this in,

It looks as if they were film­ing at City Hall in Chicago today.  I walked by dur­ing my lunch break and there was a trailer with crew parked in front.  There was also a black Dodge Charger with the Gotham plates on it as well.  Didn’t see any film­ing but saw RFK stuff all over the city.

And later this from Brian,

There has been some film crew activ­ity in the past week on lower Ran­dolph by the Patrillo Band­shell and AON build­ings.  This morn­ing, some cars were parked along the curb with no license plates, and they were bumper to bumper.  I’m won­der­ing now if this is related to the Bat­man filming.

Maybe we’ll be get­ting some more great images from The Dark Knight very shortly,  and only 7 days to go until the teaser trailer. Keep your Bat­man scoops com­ing in, your news fuels this site.

Those cars on lower Ran­dolph are gone this morn­ing, but it looks like they may have gone out with a bang. Shat­tered glass and plas­tic line the curb where they once sat. The wall of the AON build­ing is painted with smoky ashes.

There is also now some tem­po­rary sig­nal boxes and a new “PARKING” sign painted on the wall. About 50 ft. of curb is made out to look like a hous­ing project for bums with empty boxes all over. Yeah, it used to be that way for real, but Chicago’s mayor cleaned it up over a year ago. It doesn’t appear that this loca­tion is being used for any day­time filming.
