New Video Captured of ‘The Dark Knight’ Filming in Buena Park

I just received a note from a reader named Ken informing me about a video that has been shot of “The Dark Knight” filming in Chicago’s Buena Park neighborhood.


This set is under the El train tracks behind Kenmore Avenue just north of Buena Avenue. The location is just a few blocks from the set on Clarendon Avenue and Cuyler Avenue that was covered here earlier this week.

The video has flown under the radar and was filmed on June 14, 2007. Ken says the person who shot this video goes by the online name “Irishpirate” and is a regular on Buena Park message boards. He also runs this blog.

1:40 p.m. update: I just received a note from University of Chicago graduate student Donald Frederick.

He said: “There are a ton of camera lights and riggings being set up all over campus. I noticed that previous pictures of Maggie Gyllenhaal show University of Chicago buildings in the background. The campus [provides] a perfect backdrop. Also, the streets around the main quadrangle [have postings] for no parking through the night.”
