Walking Through a Movie Shoot
June 21st, 2007
I headed to our downtown office for some meetings today. On my way from the train station to the office (~9 blocks), I noticed something was a little different today. There were white semi-trailers, lighting-rigs, and trailers all over Lake & Randolph. Then I noticed the signs… Extras this way, Lunch that way… Set over there. I’ve seen equipment related to filming in Chicago before, but this was a *major* production. After doing a little digging, I come to find out that all of the hubbub is for the next Batman movie – The Dark Knight. How cool is that?!? HollywoodChicago.com has a little more info on their shooting schedule.
