The film crew for the new Batman movie converted the old Brachs building into Gotham Hospital and then proceeded to blow it up. Pretty cool explosion scene.

I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Where in Chicago was that building located?

SF trips 10= 11 SF trips 11 =7
I saw that building awhile ago on an Urban Exploration site, that building was a dump...

This Batman movie has been crazy for us living downtown! Thus far i've been an extra in two scenes (one is a HUUUUGGGGGEEEEEE scene for the movie), i've gotten numerous shots of the helicopter, and i've got pics of the "Gotham National Bank" and the "Gotham Police" signs they've engraved in buildings. I've also witnessed them shut down numerous blocks to film (no pics of course of these scenes allowed), seen numerous GPD squad cars with Gotham license plates, and have gotten within i'd say about 500 feet from Christian Baile! From all of this, I gather that it should be an exciting movie!!!! SUMMER 08!

That's cool Tony! If I knew what ya looked like, I'd look for ya in the movie. The helicopter used for the ariel shots is headin' up here to Milwaukee to get some shots for a show coming to ABC about "Neighborhood Watch Corruption" today!
Kyle Push down, then pull up. Exit to your left/right. And, enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags! Your friendly enthusiast Kyle.
As of Saturday, 9-1-07, Rory's First Kiss/Batman Dark Knight/The Dark Knight has wrapped for Chicago - one day early! Now they are on to England to shoot for another month or two. I was an extra for 5 days spread across 2 weeks and had, overall, a good time - and also won an ipod nano too.
 I was on set yesterday around 5:30pm when they wrapped.
Being on a movie set is almost exactly as I thought it would be - very long days (up to 14 hrs for us extras and even longer for crew), super boring at times - though making up for that was hanging out with some really nice and funny folks. The sweetest thing that I saw in person is them crash a 2008 lamborghini. It was also fun to make like a bat out of hell (:)) when fake gunshots went off in other scenes. The most boring part of my stay on set had to be standing in one corner of a street for about 3 to 4 hours as absolutely nothing happened except the crew getting overhead shots from a building. That was quite awful. Overall though, hanging out w/ the other extras, meeting some really nice and friendly PA's, seeing what the atmophere is like on a movie set, and getting to be within a foot or two of many of the stars, and actually talking to one of them (Nestor Carbonell, better known as Richard Alpert on Lost), made for very memorable times that I will often look back on - especially if it's a damn good movie, which I hope to god it is. Sadly, we will have to wait until July 08 to find out if it is!
^WOW!!!!!!! Awesome Story!

That building really was a dump.
