Pittsburgh Experiences A Dark Knight

"The Dark Knight Rises" is invading Pittsburgh at full force, and Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale made statements with some pressure from the Pittsburgh Film Office because of the high interest level by the natives. Obviously there will be insane security on the set so this is  as close as you are going to get to seeing the powers surrouding Batman on film.

Check out the video featuring Christian Bale below along with quotes from Christopher Nolan courtesy of Pittsburgh Business Times.

Christopher Nolan Quotes:

"When you're making a large-scale action film that has to showcase the vitality and size of a large American city but also involves a certain amount of disruption to that city in order to make the action credible on screen"

"It's a very beautiful city on a very impressive scale and that hasn't lost its human scale, that is very impressive and very hard to find."

"The Dark Knight Rises" will be all over Pittsburgh, turning the Steel City into Batman's Gotham City setting. But there will be plenty of Pittsburgh landmarks in the film, including Heinz Field (the scene of a big football game and crowd scene), Carnegie Mellon UniversitybizWatch , Downtown and a house in the Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh. There will be road closures and city, county and state officials said that the inconveniences would be worth it to eventually see Pittsburgh on the big screen.
