Last fall, director Christopher Nolan spent a few weeks filming this year’s most anticipated movie, The Dark Knight Rises, in New York City. The NYC scenes were part of the last leg of filming, following shoots in Pittsburgh and Los Angeles. Nolan is blending all three cities into the ultimate Gotham for the final movie in his Batman Trilogy.
Because the Manhattan shoot was so massive (Nolan shot several scenes in the Wall Street area that include dozens of Gotham vehicles, thousands of extras, and closed off several blocks of lower Manhattan) it wasn’t hard for fans to find them. Which meant we received hundreds of pictures from our readers who spotted Gotham police cars, swat teams, and even Batman himself, on the streets of Manhattan.
Check out a few more of the fan photos we received from readers during The Dark Knight Rises shoot in NYC last October and November:
One of our Twitter followers, @mocamiya, sent us these photos of Joseph Gordon-Levitt rehearsing and filming a scene on a NY rooftop.
Perhaps the most impressive set of photos came from one of our regular readers, Jimmy, who met (and had his picture taken with) many of the main cast members including Tom Hardy, Matthew Modine, Anne Hathaway, Christian Bale, and Gary Oldman.
Denise sent us a few photos (including the top pic) that show how massive the Wall Street shoot was and how many people were involved.
Dustin sent us a few shots from the set at Trump Tower which was transformed into Wayne Enterprises in October.
Jerzy, Esolecba, and @NapiersNews shared some more photos of Gotham vehicles parked around Wall Street.
Marcelo Oliveira sent us these pics, including one of director Christopher Nolan in a crowd of extras.
Miles was also lucky enough to meet Christian, Jospeh Gordon-Levitt, and Tom Hardy on NYC set of The Dark Knight Rises.
Trace sent us this photo of the crowd of onlookers, which almost outnumbered the extras used during the Wall Street shoot.
And finally, RL sent these photos, which provide an up close look at one of the Gotham license plates and more vehicles used in the movie.
Thanks so much to all of readers who took the time to send us information and photos from The Dark Knight Rises shoot! It’s so much fun to see these big productions through the eyes of the fans! If you have set photos or celebs photos you’d like to share, let us know at olv@onlocationvacations.com!
Here are a couple videos our readers sent along too:
I am so sorry for the delay in posting these, I know a lot of you have been asking about them…Nov was a bad month for me so I’m a bit behind on stuff that came in during that time and I can’t apologize enough to those who sent in photos and are just seeing them posted now…if anyone sent in pics that aren’t here and you think are really outstanding let me know, I tried to at least get in one or two from everyone but may have missed some, and I just wasn’t able to post them all…there were just way too many, but I do appreciate all of the effort ppl went thru to get us pics!! Thanks!!
Nice pics with The Dark knight Rises stars. Awesome, can’t wait for movie to come out this summer. It will be blockbuster of summer.
Christine, don’t worry, everyone knows you are busy. Great job you do.
Thanks JT! And yeah, those pics with the stars are rare, didn’t see too many, even when they were filming in Pittsburgh so those are def. very cool, I like the pics that show how many extras and how huge that Wall St shoot was, its amazing.
Either Bane has a goatee or we never actually see Tom without the mask on. And Bruce Wayne has some serious grey going on…..
Does anyone have more pictures of the NY shoot? I was an extra fighting on the stairs i’m trying to find a few pics with me in them
