Pittsburgh welcomes The Dark Knight Rises

This light was erected in Pittsburgh to welcome the cast and crew of The Dark Knight Rises, who recently began shooting there:



Dr. Kenneth R. Melani, president and CEO of Highmark Inc., said: "To have our building featured is an honor not only because it is an anchor of the Pittsburgh skyline, but also because we are positioned at the gateway to the city's Cultural District and nothing could be more of a cultural attraction than a Hollywood film."

Mike Matesic, CEO of Idea Foundry, said his company "is delighted only only to see major motion pictures like 'Batman' choose to film in Pittsburgh, but also to help them take advantage of all the other benefits our region's technology companies have to offer.

"What we're seeing with Lightwave is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of how our local tech companies can help filmmakers produce, market, and generate new revenue streams for their movies and TV productions."
