Last month, production was abruptly halted on Warner Bros.’ upcoming DC film, “The Batman, of course, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Its writer-director Matt Reeves, speaking to Deadline, is now admitting that roughly 25% of the film has been already shot.
“We’re not officially editing right now,” said Reeves. “We’ve actually shot a quarter of the movie and I have been pouring through dailies, looking at takes, and what’s to come.”
There is currently no restart date known at this time, I don’t think there can be, really, for any film in the industry, due to the pandemic. However, a report via Variety claims that “The Batman” likely won’t be able to make its June 2021 release date.
Bassim Tariq was the first one in the chair. The "Mogul Mowgli" director spent two years building out the Mahershala Ali vehicle before exiting in 2022, and he's now letting the air out on this one.
