The Flash was on location for the season 8 cross over Armageddon. Yesterday I caught up with them filming part 2 of their 5 part cross over event. This episode is being directed by Menhaj Huda.

When I first showed up, they were already wel into shooting a scene outside of the "Central City Bank" with Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, doing a scene with a woman who I am assuming based off the trailer I saw, and the fact there was no other Officer he engaged with, that was "Officer Korber". Shortly after he finishes talking to the Officer, a returning character catches his attention as she calls out to him from behind where he was standing. It was Carmen Moore as Kristen Kramer. The pair then have a fairly long talk, and that is the end of the scene.

Later, they moved a block down the street to a spot very close to where they filmed the scene last year where the Strength Force / Fuerza killed Polka Dot Man.... wait sorry, wrong DC character, Abra Kadabra. This time, they were on the other side of the intersection in a small plaza under the bridge. The scene starts with Grant, now as The Flash zipping in, talking to a couple thats looking at a city map, before turning around to see Tony Curran as Human version of Despero standing there. He then zips over there, and has a talk with Despero that went on for a while. It might honestly be one of the longest scenes I have watched. In it, they spoke back and forth, with The Flash looking quite annoyed, and Despero seeming unfazed by his annoyance. In the conversation Despero tells Barry he was banished there by someone, and that Earth is now his home, and he is annoyed humans are destroying the planet. Barry also at one point tells him hes been through a Crisis before. But much of the conversation was too quiet for me to hear.

That was all I saw. As I said, they were still shooting when I left. But, it was going to be in a partially blocked off underground parking lot, and at night, so I called it a day. The only other thing of note I saw, was a trailer for a character named "Xotar", but did not see a character that could match up to that. perhaps in the scene I couldnt see?
 
The Flash season 8 will begin November 16 with their 5 event semi-crossover event on The CW in the U.S. Or on their app the next day.

There will be some video from scenes from this cross over to post in the next couple weeks, so come back to find those then, or you can subscribe to my Youtube channel and get them there when they drop.

The Flash was on location for the season 8 premiere. The other day I caught up with them filming part 1 of their 5 part cross over event titled "Armageddon", that episode is being directed by Eric Dean Seaton. I do not know if this set is from that same episode still, or a different episode.
You can find that set report HERE

On this day, the cast & crew had moved 1 & 1/2 blocks up the street to an area used by a lot of productions, including The Flash itself in the past for the very first location I ever found of them during the pilot episode. You can see that wayyyy back set report HERE

Early in the day, I checked out this location, but it was clear they werent filming any time soon, so I left and came back a few hours later. In the first scene out there, they had Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, with Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow, doing a scene where they were just walking along together. I never saw the scene shot from the front side, I only saw 1 partial take of it when I got over there. When I first showed up, they had already been shooting the scene for a couple takes. But what others told me, I didnt miss anything context, or action wise. It was just them walking along. The photos I have in the set of them, is from them walking back from the end of the take.

After their lunch break, they set up for a couple night time scenes.
First up was Grant again with his stunt double Cody Laudan, doing a scene where The Flash gets tossed across the pavement, then gets up and eventually runs off. It was a very short scene, and was wrapped up after a couple takes.

After that scene, they wrapped Grant, and had Tony Curran come in, wearing a different wardrobe than I saw him in two days earlier on set. this time.  This time, Despero was dressed like some type of European looking warrior with a belt buckle that would glow. He did scenes where he is talking to/at someone/something, while cars burn around him.

They then finished off the night with some more stunts, with a variety of people running around in a panic, while the cars from the scene Tony did, were burning.
That was it for the night.

Some of the setting pieces they had, included signage for Central City Parking, a spray painted sign that said "The End Is Nigh", a sign for a pub called "Robern's", a strange futuristic looking green car that they never used outside of being in the background of the stunt running scene, and a little stand with a sign saying "West Party". I dont know if any of those pieces ever were more important than background info, but from the time I was there, I never saw anything going on that would suggest they had any relevance to the scenes.

The Flash season 8 will begin November 16 with their 5 event semi-crossover event on The CW in the U.S. Or on their app the next day.

The Flash was on location for the season 8 premiere. This is part 1 of their 5 part cross over event titled "Armageddon", and it is being directed by Eric Dean Seaton.

After not being able to find them anywhere in their 1st week back to filming this upcoming season. I have found them twice now in the last week. Unlike my first report HERE, there was a lot to report on for this set...

This time, Grant Gustin as The Flash was on set, with his stunt double Cody Laudan doing the big stunts. With him was the recently announced returning Arrowverse star Brandon Routh as The ATOM. Candice Patton as Iris West Allen, Brandon McKnight as Chester P. Runk were also on set from The Flash cast. Joining them all, was the recently announced villain for the cross over, Tony Curran as Despero.

The day started with them doing a stunt of The Flash getting thrown across the spacious sidewalk into a crushed up Central City Taxi. The scenes seemed to be taking place outside the Central City Technology Conference. At one point I overheard the crew discussing an upcoming scene, and it was to have The Flash getting thrown through a window of the convention, out to the ground where we see the scene being shot. After the stunts ended, they brought out the cast to film a large scene that had Grant take over from where Cody finished his stunt, huddled up in a pile at the side of the taxi. The Flash turns and looks up high, where Tony was standing on a ladder. Dialogue is exchanged, before Despero raises his hand in the air as if he was about to do something menacing, when a sparking sound can be heard, Despero disappears, and The ATOM arrives. He goes over to where The Flash is just starting to lift himself up off the ground, and the pair have a few words, before Chester & Iris come to join them. The pair are both wearing press passes for the conference. So were they there just by coincidence, or did they know trouble was brewing, and went there because of it? The group of 4 then have a conversation that goes on for maybe 30 seconds, before the scene wraps.

Later, they had a scene, again where Cody starts the scene, this time, throwing himself across the sidewalk, then Grant would come in and take over. Again, The ATOM shows up, and this SEEMS to be perhaps the first time the pair have seen each other in the cross over, as The ATOM makes a comment about it seems his suit still fits (which is really fucking stupid, because Felicity Smoak once fit in the suit, so it seems the suit will fit whatever physical needs are required), and the two heroes fist bump each other, before turning their attention on the threat. They focus on 1 direction, before you hear Iris yell at them asking "who are they firing at?", then Chester pipes up "yeah, hes behind you", which makes the heroes turn around, and face the direction where Despero is.

A bit later, while some of the cast were wrapping up their day, they did a scene with Grant doing a running jump & punch scene. After that, he wrapped, and they finished off the day with Tony wearing a camera on his head for close up shots of him doing his Despero scenes.

At points in the day, they had a cardboard cut out of the Despero character from the shoulders up, out as a reference point for the actors to look at when Tony wasnt there. Others who have reported on these photos already have pointed out, the same thing I will now. This might not be the completed look. It is likely from pre-production concept art. But there is 1 photo at the end of the set showing what they had.

The Flash season 8 will begin November 16 with their 5 event semi-crossover event on The CW in the U.S. Or on their app the next day.

There will be some video from these scenes to post in the next couple weeks, so come back to find those then, or you can subscribe to my Youtube channel and get them there when they drop.
