The Press Conference via BlipTV:

In this conference Chris Nolan also debunked those previous rumors that a scene was abandoned because of pollution, citing script changes as the real reason.You can find another entertainment round-up in this ITN video hosted on YouTube:

Secondly, chgojobs had this pull right out in front of him:

He carried on to follow the action and captured this video:

Also, CNN have a new explosive video.

In full motion video we have a scene captured from the memorial service, it’s contents can be considered a spoiler,

We also have a video that shows Gary Oldman preparing for a scene on The Dark Knight set,

Spectacular stunt for the Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight. The scene involves two helicopters hovering next to the tower and five stuntmen that come flying off the building. This was filmed at a high rise under construction near Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive.

At the start not a lot happens, it all kicks off at about 40 seconds in:

You can find even more here and we’ll probably keep updating this post with more and more links as they come in.

Let’s get some old videos in here too whilst I am at it — these show the street level fire and a helicopter fly-by:

He had this to say:

Alright, I am sure you guys already know where they were shooting today: Berghoff’s (I think I spelled that right), some kind of old and classy restaurant/bar type. The crew had vehicles all on Adams and the adjoining streets. The first time I walked by early on in the day they were shooting inside. They had some screens up over the exterior and I could hear them yell “rolling”. I didn’t know who was inside at this point. Outside there was a large bus that had “Corerctions” written on the side of it. It was a GPD bus, presumably for hauling off prisoners of a sort. There were also a few GPD extras milling around. I walked further down toward State St. and saw all kinds of GPD and Gotham cars waiting to be used. I figured some exterior stuff would be happening later. I wasn’t wrong.

Around 2:30 or 3:00 I made my way back and sure enough, there was quite a bit of action. There was a whole crowd of extras dressed in suits, they seemed to be reporters or maybe just onlookers. In front of this crowd was a GPD officer holdig a shotgun (very cool). Some of the extras were pretending to shiver..don’t forgett the fall setting. It was amusing to watch. A bit further down in front of Berghoff’s was were the good stuff was happening. Nolan and co. were shooting a scene where GPD and Lt. Gordon escort Maroni and his goons into the corrections bus, busting them. I stood across the street and watched (taking pics and got video of one whole take). Eric Roberts looked great as Maroni, cuffed and all. After each take they would wipe the sweat off of Oldman, Roberts and the extras, attempting to keep the atmosphere of Fall in place (certainly tough with today’s weather).
