Batman Begins Filiming in Chicago

These dates and times were taken frm emails and memos circulated to people working in Chicago whose daily routine will be upset by the filming of Batman Begins

If you are a patron of the parking garage here at One South Wacker, please be aware that Lower Wacker Drive will be closed for a Warner Brothers movie filming on the following dates and times: Tuesday, July 27, 1:00am - 4:00am, Monday, August 2, 7:00pm - Tuesday, August 3, 5:00am, Tuesday, August 3, 7:00pm - Wednesday, August 4, 5:00am. The first date is for preparatory operations, while the last two dates are for the actual filming.'

Beginning July 31st at 5:00 am to 11:00 pm: "South side of Illinois from Wabash to Lower Wacker, Both sides of Rush Street from Chicago to Hubbard from Wabash to Lower Michigan Avenue, Both Sides Lower Michigan Avenue from Grand to Lower Wacker, Both sides of North Water Street from State to St. Clair, Both sides of Wabash from Chicago River to Hubbard Street."

Exiciting stuff. Some of the filming will be sort of close to where I work, but it's still mostly north of the Chicago River - meaning it's either a long walk or a cab ride away for me. Don't know yet if I'll make the trek up there. I really would like to.
