Robert Pattinson #TheBatman Filming Updates

I will update this post with filming changes as and when they happen with the most recent update at the top of the thread.

UPDATED: 26 MARCH 2020

I was only saying yesterday that with the UK on lock down surely The Batman filming won’t resume on 30 March 2020. This morning Matt Reeves confirmed that indeed filming has been shutdown. Hope they all stay healthy and safe as that’s what is more important.

Yes, we have shut down till it is safe for us all to resume… Everyone safe for the moment, thank you for asking, and stay safe too… https://t.co/wDhlYtphlm

UPDATED: 15 MARCH 2020

Many news sites are now reporting the hiatus, but Deadline had the exclusive:

Warner Bros. joins other studios in temporarily stopping production on big pics, the latest being the studio’s reboot of The Batman starring Robert Pattinson in the title role.

Word was that production was re-locating from London to Liverpool in the UK and out of safety in the current coronavirus climate, Warners just decided to halt shooting for the time being. Again, no one from the cast or crew has been diagnosed with COVID-19.

“Warner Bros. Pictures feature production of The Batman will be on a two-week hiatus starting today. The studio will continue to monitor the situation closely” the Burbank lot informed in a statement.

@A24 Buys North American Rights to Robert Pattinson | Claire Denis #TheStarsatNoon

Possibly filming at the end of this year and co-star news – that’s what I’m taking from this.

From Deadline:

In a low-seven-figure deal, the blue-chip buyer has swooped on Claire Denis’ next movie, love story/thriller The Stars at Noon, which has her High-Life collaborator Robert Pattinson and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood breakout Margaret Qualley attached.

…

Wild Bunch is launching international sales on the project at the EFM, and buyers are already hot for the package. Paris-based Curiosa Films is producing with an eye on shooting later this year. CAA Media Finance brokered domestic, which will include a solid theatrical commitment. [My emphasis]

Robert Pattinson gets another new castmate

It’s official – Paul Dano will play The Ridder alongside Robert Pattinson’s The Batman.

From THR;

Filmmaker Matt Reeves has found his Riddler for The Batman. Paul Dano has signed on as the classic villain, Warner Bros. announced Thursday.
Dano’s version of the character will be named Edward Nashton, the man who in the comics later goes by the name Edward Nygma and adopts the villainous persona. Frank Gorshin and John Astin played the villain on the 1960s TV series, while Jim Carrey played him in 1995’s Batman Forever, which was directed by Joel Schumacher.

And in other The Batman news THR also confirmed that Matt Reeves has chosen previous co-collaborator Michael Giacchino to compose the music for the film:

Composer Michael Giacchino has said yes to The Batman. Filmmaker Matt Reeves surprised the crowd Friday at an event at London’s Royal Albert Hall, where Giacchino and and fellow composer David Arnold were engaging in some friendly competition by comparing works they’ve done.

When Reeves took the stage, he got down on one knee in a mock proposal, asking Giacchinoto board his project, as captured in a video from an attendee, and reported by Empire journalist Chris Hewitt.
