TDKR: LA & Chi-Town?; Cat-Ears

The Los Angeles leg of production for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises began on Friday and local businesses and home owners were sent a letter with details on the production's schedule. A photo copy of that letter is online.

Shooting is currently taking place in Lawndale in a building opposite the El Camino baseball field. It will then break for a few days and then continue at the same locale on Wednesday and Thursday. The letter says it will involve "explosion, sparks and atmospheric smoke effects".


Three of the Tumblers have been spotted parked outside a Quincy, Illinois shop which has lead to speculation that some filming may take place in Chicago after all, despite the fact that the windy city was not part of mix initially

Manny the Movie Guy reports that Catwoman's (Anne Hathaway) cat ears will be seen after all - when she takes off her glasses.

"Catwoman's goggles, when pulled back like a headband, will take the form of cat's ears much like the image of Catwoman we all know and loved"....

Christian Bale Tom Hardy Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Pence, Alon Aboutboul and Nestor Carbonell star along with return of the trilogy's ensemble cast such as Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine

Matthew ModineTom Conti 11-year-old actress Joey King Daniel Sunjata, Diego Klattenhoff Christopher Judge and Burn Gorman take on secondary roles

Nolan calls action on the DKR from a screenplay he wrote with bro Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Nolan and David S. Goyer

The sequel is set to hit theaters on July 20th, 2012.
