‘The Dark Knight Rises’ to film in Romania and India? [Update]

By on | @BatmanNewsCom

There have been a lot of rumors regarding where The Dark Knight Rises will be filming. We know that Christopher Nolan was definitely on a worldwide search in Asia, and today I have a few more details about where he was looking. A source that I trust let me know that Romania and India are locations where The Dark Knight Rises is likely to be shot. He also echoed what we’ve heard before — Los Angeles, the UK, and he was confident that they’d be heading back to Chicago at some point too. I was also told that additional locations in the UK are being scouted within the next few weeks. I know this is a small rumor after the blockbuster official announcement from yesterday, but I wanted to pass it along.

Update: Several readers have sent in an article from Romania Insider, which confirms that Christopher Nolan was scouting in Romania, and the film’s producers have met with city officials. According to the article, Nolan is interested in Bucharest’s historical center, Edgar Quinet Street, Palace of Parliament, and the Turda salt mines.

    Sweet! I hope it works out! It might be interesting and maybe could factor in to the Bane or Selina storyline(s)?

    I wonder if they make Bane’s origins in Spain and use Romania to film it as Spain. For India maybe it will be part of a storyline ala Hong Kong in TDK

    LA Times printed a report yesterday about an LA production office being set up for DKR, same premises as for the Inception shoot, so LA is definitely a location.

      Actually, he’s not Mexican. Bane was born in the fictional Caribbean Republic of Santa Prisca.

    In terms of Romania, the news is in Bucharest the Old City Center and Edgar Quinet Street (for exteriors IMO) and the People’s Palace (for interiors IMO) as well as the Turda Salt Mine which could be a new Batcave. I’m currently living in Romania and have been to all of these places, and let me just say if this news is true, expect an eyeball explosion if this is viewed in IMAX.

  • hmmm

    the turda salt mines is where batman recovers after his battle with bane. This will be converted into a lazarus pit and it is where talia helps him
