SHH! Reports:
The Edgware & Mill Hill Times reports that the Batman Begins production is indeed headed for the National Institute for Medical Research...
It was finally confirmed this week that director Christopher Nolan will be bringing a star-studded cast to the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in Mill Hill to film part of the Hollywood blockbuster Batman Begins.
But film company Warner Bros is already in talks with Barnet police to establish what security arrangements can be made when filming begins at the institute, which uses animals for research into diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis.
Amid threats of protests by the Mill Hill Anti-Vivisection Alliance, Warner has made staff at the NIMR sign a confidentiality agreement to keep the date of the filming under wraps.

The next update:
Meanwhile, 'busqa405' sent in this unconfirmed bit about Batman Begins...
I just heard some good news about the Chicago tour of Batman Begins. I work at the Hilton Chicago & my boss was walking around givin a tour to some exec. Turns out that it was a WB exec. and they're gonna use our heliport to film for the movie. What I was told was that they are using it to reload a mini-helicopter to fly over the river and around lower wacker for the film and some shots of different buildings.
And finally, Rutger Hauer speakth!
'Monkey Chops' pointed us to Rutger Hauer's official website where the actor talks about meeting his fellow Batman Begins stars...
I was going to work today with Morgan Freeman who I think is one of the best colleagues to have, ever. Never met him. So the moment he arrived I grabbed and hugged him telling him what a pleasure I thought it was. He agreed. I had met Liam Neeson earlier on the day I had arrived a few weeks ago just before going into my first meeting with the director and getting the part. As I walked through the hotel corridor I literally bumped into him as he came out the door .I said, 'Hi Liam. Nice to meet you'. He said' yes, same here'. And I said we may be working together. He said. Great. Nice. Lovely.
He had just come back from Iceland and told me the director was wonderful. After Morgan and I rehearsed we did our little scene with smile behind teeth and eyes. Short and sweet but with many different angles. nI am still on the look-out for Gary Oldman. Never met him either. Just good to say hello.
Michael Caine knocked on the door of my trailer and stepped in. We embraced furiously and he was just as happy to see me as I was to see him. We worked in Kenya in pffft '75. What a nice man he is. Told him I was happy for him in the gem of a role he's playing. So it was a great heart warming day.
Everything sounds great. Discuss!
