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.

Not much to say on this one, just sit back, lis­ten to the revs and check out the brief clips:

TRAGIC UPDATE: The Joker, Heath Ledger found dead 

Seems like Heath Ledger has been doing quite a bit of film­ing as of late, as well as some skate­board­ing it seems. First up, MyFox­Chicago has three can­did videos of The Dark Knight, show­ing The Joker and the tum­bler (Batmobile).

In an alto­gether dif­fer­ent loca­tion LatinoReview’s scooper Kava­lier 149 has snapped this great shot — at last we can see the tra­di­tional Joker attire (see full arti­cle for spoiler pictures).

Here’s our first solid video dis­cussing the live action adap­ta­tion of GoW and the ongo­ing pro­duc­tion of the film — from the man himself.

type­orocks and Laura have been out and about once more, pro­vid­ing exclu­sive Bat­man set reports. This time he comes back with pic­tures… mas­sive pic­tures. These are pretty spoiler filled so to see them you need to view the full article.

Note this on your cal­en­dars, this will be the first big video — a must watch. Joblo, Super­Hero­Hype and now a num­ber of other online news out­lets have con­firmed through their asso­ci­ated sources that with Warner Brother’s The Simp­sons movie, in selected screen­ings, they will pre­view the first teaser trailer of The Dark Knight on July 27th, coin­cid­ing with the Warner Bros. day at Comic Con 2007 — a mere coincidence?

Let’s wait and see!

Latino Review have posted a clip from an inter­view with Aaron Eck­hart in which he briefly dis­cusses TDK.

“There are some peo­ple here with poi­son darts so I can’t talk about Bat­man,” Eck­hart joked before adding. “I love the script and I wanted to do the movie.”

And what about the other incar­na­tion of Har­vey Dent? How does Aaron feel about that? “I feel one is com­pletely dif­fer­ent from the other,” he answered. “I don’t have to do what Tommy Lee Jones did.”

Next up we have an inter­view via MTV’s Movie Blog, this one has the bomb-shell confirmation:

“I play Harvet Dent. Har­vey Two-Face. They are both in the movie. […] There are a few scenes I am dying to do. We’ve done a few…but the scene that I really want to do is in Octo­ber.” So who appears in said scene? Is it Har­vey or Two-Face? We coyly asked Eck­hart if he’ll be in heavy make-up that day and, respond­ing with a grin, he said, “I don’t know. There might be anger involved. There might be tears. It might be a cathar­tic day. It might be a lot of love.”

And thirdly Dark Hori­zons had a chat too, here’s an excerpt per­tain­ing to what he likes about play­ing Har­vey Dent:

“Well there’s sev­eral hooks for me, none of which I can talk about, but I will say that I like the char­ac­ter. I like play­ing this guy. This guy has like­able attrib­utes, char­ac­ter­is­tics. And it really, as in this whole Bat­man going through it, it’s really a mir­ror of our times in a lot of ways. It’s a com­ment on what’s going on in the world today. And my char­ac­ter fits into that really nicely. And everybody’s char­ac­ter does from Lieu­tenant Gor­don to the Joker. I guess Bat­man is just try­ing to make sense of what’s going on and try­ing to fight a fight that maybe he doesn’t totally under­stand.”

First up, Super­Hero­Hype have some stun­ning shots of The Dark Knight’s gotham props and Gary Oldman:

Next up, ShawnW has some spoiler-ish shots of a major action event from the Dark Knight, check out his flickr gallery.

And thirdly, Noir has posted an exclu­sive set report with pic­tures over at the Super­Hero­Hype forums. The report includes descrip­tions of Heath as The Joker, and this image:
