Movies Currently Shooting in Chicago

July 16th, 2007

Actor Dennis Quaid and Hyde Park neighborhood resident outside the Windemere. Lots of movies are shot in Chicago and you never know when you’ll run into a movie set or traffic blockade.

On June 8, Mayor Richard M. Daley today welcomed the cast and crew of “The Dark Knight,” the follow-up to Warner Bros.’ “Batman Begins,” back to Chicago for 12 weeks of filming.

“We’re happy to have them back in Chicago,” Daley said at a City Hall news conference. “We do this because it creates jobs for the hard-working people of our city – not only actors, but also crew members, caterers, electricians, truck drivers and all the others who devote their talents and skills to the enterprise.”
