The Dark Knight Rises Casting Call

[The Seeker]

Some of you recall me mentioning that the newest Batman movie will be filmed in Pittsburgh.

It looks like they are doing a casting call:

Over the next two weekends The Dark Knight Rises will be operating casting calls under the name "Magnus Rex," in downtown Pittsburgh. [ SWDcasting ]

For more details click that link, but here is the most interesting piece of info:

Some specific types we are looking for are:
Prisoners/Thugs, Guards, Police Officers, Business men & women
and Sports Fans- ALL types are needed!!

​

The inclusion of "sports fans," is going to lead to some very interesting theories as time moves on.
If you remember a few months ago there were rumors of the old Civic Arena hockey arena being used.

so will there be a hockey scene?
From the Gotham wiki:

Gotham has a wide variety of sports teams like their Baseball teams, Gotham Knights and the Gotham Griffins. Their Basketball team, the Gotham Guardsman, Their Football teams the Gotham Wildcats and gotham Knights, and their Ice Hockey team, The Gotham Blades. The Gotham Knights baseball team colors are black and gold like the Knights football team. The Griffins team colors are dark green and white.

​

Anything is pure speculation at this point.

Are you going to apply to become a movie star?

 

[The Seeker]

I doubt it.

I did have a friend who was an extra in the movie Sudden Death filmed in Pittsburgh though. He said it was really boring waiting around all day to be shown for about 2 seconds.

And here I was planning to ask you for your autograph for when you become a star!

 

[The Seeker]

If I can't be Batman, then they can shove it!

As I mentioned before, my daughter works in the film industry here and I have plenty of opportunities to work as an extra if I wanted to.
But, as was mentioned, the waiting around all day is boring and would drive me nuts.
I have several friends who work as extras and think it's great. They enjoy sitting around and doing nothing all day.
Good for them, but I have better things to do with my time.
I don't need work or money so I'll stay as I am instead of becoming a film star
