A scene being filmed on Wall Street with 1000 extras... they could just use the Occupy protesters.
It looks like Pittsburgh and Los Angeles won't be the only cities that show mass chaos and a ton of extras battling it out on camera in The Dark Knight Rises. Two weeks after it was reported that director Christopher Nolan planned to finish his shoot in the big apple through the Halloween holiday weekend, On Location Vacations has passed along word of some lucky New York Maniacs may have a chance to see if they're at the right place and right time. Watch out because the below description of what's to come contains some minor spoiler details.
One of our readers, RL, spotted No Parking signs for “MAGNUS REX” (TDKR’s working title) filming on West 58th Street between 7th and 5th Ave in NYC on Friday, 10/28 for 6 AM to Midnight.
In addition to this new location info, we also heard a few rumors about the big scene they’ll be filming on Wall Street. There are expected to be more than 1000 extras used in the scene which will be set in a Gotham that has been taken over by Bane. After months of chaos the cops return and the “good guys” battle it out with the “bad guys” for the streets of Gotham. Tom Hardy and Christian Bale are both expected to be there in full costumes as Bane and Batman. Its also rumored that they will begin rehearsing for the shoot in a couple day at Riis Park.
Readers will remember the photos and videos from this summer's Pittsburgh shoot which centered on Batman (Christian Bale) and Bane (Tom Hardy) battling it out on the steps for what was doubling for Gotham City Hall. It seems that fight continues but in NYC this weekend.
Thanks to Chopsaki for the submission.

Sorry Miner but they cant use the occupy wall street protesters. Extras have to actually do some work and those occupy people are just looking for a handout.
Whytedragon huh? Just out of curiosity is that a web handle or your rank in the Klan?
Yeah if they want to use the Occupy douches, there are a whole gaggle of those losers down here in VA. Take 'em! Please!
NullGravity, did you really create a profile simply to post that comment?
Hey the hippies gotta hang out somewhere.
Man everytime I see the pix of Hardy as Bane I have to laugh, it looks crazy stupid
why would you think my name has anything to do with the klan? because it has whyte in it? or is it simply that you are a racist and have to make negative comments to make yourself feel better?
Tomorrow's crucial TDKR update: wiseguy arrested for trying to crash the set with a crate full of Molotov cocktails. Well, at least it will be the first update with actual news in a while.
