SuperHeroHype recently sat down with Morgan Freeman to talk Dark Knight (and Wanted):
CS/SHH!: What were your experiences like working on the Batman sequel?
Freeman: The sequel. Alec Guinness remarked one time that he made more money on those two [Star Wars] movies that he was just featured in than he’d made in his whole career and had little or nothing to do. That’s what it’s like.CS/SHH!: Have you finished your part?
Freeman: I haven’t finished. I’ve got one more day. I travel all the way to Hong Kong to do it.
Whilst at the other end of the internet spectrum Aint it Cool’s Capone met Christian Bale. It’s an interesting read with this little detail coming at the end of it,
Q: Are you almost done filming [DARK KNIGHT]? How much longer are you going to be working on it?
B: No, we’re going until November. It’s a seven-month shoot.

After the big explosion, little else can impress us now, however filming continued for at least one more day in Chicago, with Bruce Wayne’s Lamborghini being spotted kitted up and driving around. Two sets of pictures are out there, the first comes via draperyfalls,


Secondly, chgojobs had this pull right out in front of him:


He carried on to follow the action and captured this video:

Lots of footage and reports from the scene, I thought I would provide a second post with some alternate angles and stunning photography.
Firstly, City Eyes has captured some beautiful shots of the explosion:



Check out more of his photography at either his blog or his flickr gallery. (Pre demolition pictures)
And here is another video from the ground:

And another version here. Filmed from the AirFox helicopter. The Chicago Tribune has a video from an alternative angle, this time with sound.

…waiting for the demolition:
Discuss the feed and explosion in this topic. This topic will have all the latest up to date details and screenshots about the chopper and building’s status.
You cannot beat this angle. As this is live you may tune in to see the chopper sitting still at it’s heliport whilst it refuels, etc: this is a nice lake shot. However it has been encircling the building to be demolished with some nice zooming in and out which has revealed some practice evacuation scenes. As per usual, this live feed will obviously contain spoilers.
EDIT: Live Feed now removed.
