With Production started, the news flow should be very heavy soon. The new thread will make it easier to look through for updates. This thread is for everything new about TDK BUT CASTING NEWS that goes in the Dark Knight Casting Thread.
Status of Production: Filming Release Date: 18 July 2008 (USA) Plot: Batman and Gordon find alliance with a newly appointed DA Harvey Dent to stop a vicious killer with a warped sense of humor known only as The Joker, a threat to both the good, and the evil of Gotham City. Filming Locations: Chicago, Illinoise Hong Kong, China London, England Las Angeles, California (For those who live or will be near those locations, TDK will be filming under the codename Rory's First Kiss)
This thread should also be used to post set pictures. Do not make a new thread unless you absolutely belive it is big news (i.e. First joker pictures, big press releases, trailers, etc.)

Update from BOF.
Nolan & a few of the producers where seen in a Chi-town mall in Chicago. It's believed it was location scouting although nothing on it has been confirmed. Nolan spoke somewhat on the film saying he's going after an epic feel for it.
A new character is confirmed as well. Salvatore Moroni is confirmed for TDK. Casting & his role in the plot is still unknown, although it's expected that it'll be similar to that in TLH & Dark Victory.

[glow=red,2,300]I would rather have a gangster scar Dent instead of Joker, I dont like the every character contected in some way feel, Maroni in the comics is the person that scar's face[/glow]

Since Moroni's in the movie it looks like Harvey might be scarred by him at the Joker's trial in #3

I dont like the idea of Joker scaring Dent either, I think that would kill some good storyline for Two-Face. If in the 3rd movie Dent goes on some sort of revenge, the Joker could possibly take some of the storyline possibilities away and if he was on Revenge against a mob person, there could be more possiblitlies, such as Two-Face killing him and then that makes hime a criminal and such.

Good point. However hunting a homicidal maniac & attempting to kill him would also make him a criminal & such as well. If The Joker scars Dent that'd set up a huge triangle in the film between Batman, Two-Face, & The Joker. Another thing idea I like is Moroni being involved in the Joker's killing spree somehow, so after The Joker is captured in TDK in #3 Dent's questioning Moroni at the Joker's trial, Moroni scars Dent, who not only goes after Moroni but also The Joker because if it weren't for him none of that would've happened.

Okay so I posted this a while ago but i cant remember where, but Comingsoon.net has put the "Most Anticipated Movies of Summer 08" poll up , and again TDK is way ahead in the poll.
The Dark Knight 50.3% Indiana Jones 4 21.4% The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian 6.7% Iron Man 6.5% The Mummy 3 5.2% Hellboy 2: The Golden Army 2.9% The Incredible Hulk 2.5% The Day the Earth Stood Still 0.9% WALL• E 0.8% Speed Racer 0.8% Get Smart 0.5% Mamma Mia! 0.4% Kung Fu Panda 0.3% Tonight, He Comes 0.3% Tropic Thunder 0.1% Step Brothers 0.1% Journey 3-D 0.1% Starship Dave 0.1% The Love Guru 0.0%
This could mean big things ($$$$) for TDK, im hoping big time that it surpaces BB!

Wait! Their remaking the Day The Earth Stood Still!? MADNESS I SAY, MADNESS!
Good to see TDK's popular though, seeing as it's up against Iron Man that summer it's definately good it has a higher percentage among other summer films.

TDK has a large popularity count, but take a look at some of those other titles.

Damn what a landslide, especially with Hulk, Hellboy, and Ironman on there. 2008: YEAR OF THE BAT! (just like 2005)

People are excited for the new movie because they realize how GREAT 'Batman Begins' is especially after following the debacle that was 'Batman & Robin'. Plus, I think everyone is interested to see how The Joker will be portrayed in the new film.

Ya. I saw this on BOF & thought it should be mentioned. new pic of the Tumbler from TDK. They either haven't finished building it, this is used for long shots during a race stye scene which all the details are edited in in post-prod, or this is a redesigned Batmobile the image can also be found at this link, apparentl it was outside someone's office. desmodus01.livejournal.com/

The latest from BoF:

No Dale in TDK Author: Jett Monday, March 26, 2007 - 8:11 AM CENTRAL TIME: Clint from MOVIEHOLE.NET shot me an email to let me know that the oft-rumored Alan Dale IS NOT part of the TDK cast. This "out of control" rumor seems to have started in a British gossip rag and took a life of its own. So who is playing Sal Maroni? Is Maroni even in the film? Does this mean that that James Gandolfini rumors has some substance? (No JG methinks). Nonetheless, with filming approaching, all casting questions should be answered soon...
On a related note, damn these rumors! Don't ya'll think it's about time for a new TDK press release? And maybe the official site too?

Tumblers roaming around Chicago. I'm in the region..hopefully I'll get out there for some of the filming this summer.

Great. I might be up there too. We're either going to Branson or Chicago for vacation this year. I'm hoping we can stop at both for a few days, one a my friends moved to Branson & I wanna attempt to see Nolan filming something.
Alan Dale is NOT in TDK, as confirmed by BOF. Scratch one off the Moroni list. There could be something to the James Gandolfini rumor though.

You know the place to be this summer will be wizard world chicago. Nolan is from Chicago and he loves filming there. Last time he brought rough footage to show fans there...that just might happen again this year!

Excellent. Most media doesn't cover the Chicago con. Anywhere you'd suggest looking for stuff from the con Matt?

Nolan keeps things underwraps all the time. When anything breaks it'll be all over the news & the forums.

Looks like there is speculation as to wether or not Two Face will appear in TDK along with his alter ego Harvey Dent. Read it Here

[glow=red,2,300] I thnk the best way to go would to have Dent turned into two-face in the third , but you should see Dent lose control and that he has a problem(exactley like what we saw in Batman the anomted series ,in the episode where two-face was created) if dent remains normal in the second it gives amore emotional interaction with the audience in the third., plus Im still hoping it Maroni that scars Dent and not the Joker. [/glow]

As far as scarring, I bet Moroni is a witness at The Joker's trial, once the D.A. gives amzingly conclusive evidence, Moroni scarres him. That's what I'm hoping.

I've been following TDK filming news for awhile, one resident of the Windy City, recently spoke to SSH about the filming of a chase scene:
Sounds interesting, either Nolan's going for an uber blurry chase scene, (JK) or Bats gets chased by the GCPD, gets his own copter, or everyone's favorite homicidal clown "aquires" one of his own.
Nolan will also be transforming the city's post office into the Gotham National Bank. "Armed Robbery, double homicide, leaves a calling card..."
Could Mr. J infact be seen robbing the Gotham bank as mentioned in BB?
& even more news from BOF,
Murphy still remains coy about returning as Johnathan Crane in TDK, he's saying, there's a script out, I'd love to work with Chris again, I know who's cast so far, but I'm waiting for a call"
Sounds like The Scarecrow could be returning. & me likes the sound of that

I don't want to see Two Face in The Dark Knight at all, definately wait for the 3rd film. I want to see The Friendship between Batman & Harvey Dent really come to life on the big screen, along with Jim Gordon...
Plus throwing Two Face in the film with rumors of Scarecrow possibly coming back might make for too many villians, especially with The Joker being the main villian

Now, remember when we said that about Begins? It had 4 & they all had plenty of room to develope. I wouldn't mind it if he becomes Two-Face at the end & the last shot is Harvey inside ICU, sitting up in the bed scarred(first full look at the scars) & flipping the coin reciting some creepy thing that involves the number 2. UPDATE: From SSH superherohype.com/nextraimages/mattdkset1.jpg[/img]#1: this is the notice that traffic and parking will be obstructed due to the filming of "RFK" superherohype.com/nextraimages/mattdkset2.jpg[/img]#2: this is looking into the building and you can kinda see the top of a school bus through the bottom part of the window #3: this is the piece that they added on to the building #4: looking through the front door, here is the sign for the "Gotham National Bank" #5: this is an exterior look of the building they will be filming in...it has the lifts outside for lighting I'm really hoping that's true regarding the clown escape & stuff. Sounds great

Im hoping for some released photos of the characters. I think it would be best rather than having some clandestine fans snapping some bad quality pic and posting all over the internet. Plus, when shooting out in the open like that it'll be almost impossible to keep things hidden.
