Recently, we had reports coming in that the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh was not only going to host a key scene in
The Dark Knight Rises, but have the entire arena explode. A local film critic's blog reports that the Civic Arena would be blown up as part of a deal between the film’s director, Pittsburgh Film Office, Sports and Exhibition Authority and the governor. From Pittsburgh.CBSLocal.com:
“It’s a totally a bogus story,” Dawn Keezer, head of the film office, said. According to her, no one has ever talked about blowing up the arena.
“Unfortunately, some people really like to deal with rumors and innuendos and make up really great stories,” she added. “Maybe they should start writing scripts for Hollywood.”
Senator Wayne Fontana, chair of the SEA, backs up Keezer.
The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th, 2012!
