It was recently announced that The Dark Knight Rises will shoot at the SEI building of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on July 30 & 31.
The Dark Knight Rises, which is currently wrapping up filming in the U.K., is being directed by Christopher Nolan and once again stars Christian Bale, along with Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine.
Here are all of the details for the CMU shoot:
Carnegie Mellon will once again play host to Hollywood, when several scenes for a major motion picture by Warner Bros., currently using the working title “Magnus Rex,” are filmed outside of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) in late July, and inside and outside of the Mellon Institute in early August. Carnegie Mellon is working closely with the production company to ensure that the university and its students, faculty and staff will benefit from the movie-making experience with minimal disruption to normal operations.
Here’s the skinny on the filming dates, the scenes and parking and traffic restrictions.
Where and When
Scenes will be filmed outside the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at the intersection of Dithridge and Henry streets from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, July 30-31.
Scenes will be filmed outside of the Mellon Institute on the Fifth Ave. side from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday, July 31, and inside of the Mellon Institute’s fourth-floor entrance lobby on Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 3-4.
Prep work for the filming will be taking place in both locations beginning July 11.
Signs and trucks have also recently been spotted at a local Pittsburgh studio in the past few days! Stay tuned for more upcoming filming locations for DKR in Pittsburgh and our Open Thread where fans can discuss the shoot!
