It involves the guy pictured above and is a pretty obvious scene in the film if you think about it, but you will have to click to read more about the spoilerish info.
Carnegie Melon University's blog revealed yesterday some heavy spoilerific news about a scene that is to be shot for The Dark Knight Rises in Pittsburgh in the coming weeks. Remember this information can be considered spoilerish, so don't read below if you want to stay pure. The parts in bold at the bottom are the main hints at what this scene involves; 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. What Will Happen Scenes outside the SEI, which will be portrayed as a prison, will include an explosion, a prison break, precision stunt driving, gunfire, atmospheric smoke, and controlled pyrotechnic explosions.Scenes outside the Fifth Ave. entrance of Mellon Institute include a standoff between two rivals that escalates into a riot. One character drives a motorcycle through the fourth floor lobby, out the front doors and down the steps onto Fifth Ave. Special effects include precision stunt driving, gunfire and atmospheric smoke.Of course it doesn't take much thinking to come to the conclusion they must be filming Tom Hardy's Bane breaking out of prison... and the motorcycle character has gotta be Batman on his Bat-bike!
