” resumed production at Leavesden Studios in the UK has presented the industry with the first real-world example of the true hazards of making a movie amid a pandemic. When the first person on the call sheet of a movie this massive tests positive, the ripple effects are profound for the production. How what’s happening with “The Batman” will affect the wider industry, however, remains to be seen.
Further, anyone who came within six feet of Pattinson for more than 15 minutes would need to be immediately isolated for 14 days, regardless of whether or not they test positive. That would likely mean any actors or stunt performers who appeared on camera with Pattinson without a mask, along with any crew members tasked with supporting Pattinson through the shoot — including director Matt Reeves, if he didn’t remain socially distant with Pattinson.
bought out a luxury hotel to house the film’s stars, director, and key production staff when they’re not working. Everyone at the hotel, including hotel employees, are tested for COVID-19 three times a week.The situation isn’t completely dire for Warner Bros., however. Since “The Batman” started production before the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, its current production delay should still be covered by insurance.
The Motion Picture Association has urged Congress to provide a federal backstop for COVID insurance. But with Congress unable to even pass an unemployment extension, an insurance bailout for Hollywood is not likely any time soon.
Wow, Variety showing basic sensitivity about the health of an actor who has a life-threatening virus. Oh wait. media RobertPattinson
Just Tenet.
Should he live. As much time that is least expensive to the production ?!!! Lol
It’s telling that everyone just assumes he’ll be fine. If we all know this isn’t deadly for the young, why are we still locked down?
But how is he doing physically?! The production will be fine, how’s the human?
Whoever cast this movie should never work again. Ruining batman. Smh
I BET... if he goes backwards in time... he could REVERSE it!
Get well soon, dude.
This is what happens when Batman’s mask only covers his upper face. I’m sure bane is doing well.
Maybe let’s worry about his health first?
His health and recovery should be most important.
How much does it make sense that anyone who came into contact with him would have to isolate for 14 days despite testing negative themselves if he only needs to for 10 days?
What matters the most is that the symptoms are going easy on him and he can make the best recovery. The movie could delay all it wants but if he doesn't feel like getting better then that right there is the problem.
is he in like every single shot of the film that they can't even film scenes he's not in while he's out ?
Call in the guys who removed the mustache for JL — they’ll make a plan
It might be a better movie if he’s in less of it. 😂
“The situation isn’t completely dire for Warner Bros., however. Since “The Batman” started production before the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, its current production delay should still be covered by insurance.” Good that they got insurance. Hopefully get back going in 2 or 3 weeks
🙄🙄☹️☹️
Why even start production?
If you think about it, he could be out of production for at least 5 weeks, at least, at that's if his case is mild and he tests negative 3 times before being able to return. This is a mess.
This article has nothing valuable to say.
Well, that shows he's a human being as everyone during this covid era. He will be in quarantine for a while. Executives, please calm down, money isn't everything, believe it or not.
All the anti maskers will be like “see? batman wore a mask and he still got sick now get out of my way I’m going inside this supermarket whether you like it or not 😭”
Aw. Then schools.
Now, now Folks...let’s wish him a great performance. You know how we’re out of jobs and stuff like that? Well, if there are gig workers you know, you understand they are not doing so well either. Please consider that.
I hope he’s ok, and please no more shit about only old , sick people get it, or are affected adversely by it, or are in danger from it ( as if this wouldn’t matter ). Speedy recovery
No one is excited about it anyway.
Can we worry about his health (and the health of folks under completion contracts during a pandemic) first please?
Oh for fuck sakes .. JesabelRaay 😷 wear ur masks everybody damn
ENOUGH WITH BATMAN EVERYTHING. WARNERBROTHERS ALWAYS HAS DAMN EXCUSE. MANOFSTEEL 2 needs to happen!
lol no shit. Who thought this was a good idea?
is this a sign of doomsday for this movie 👀
miasmacomics Box him up for two weeks and shoot the scenes without him in them.
Yes because they’ll all die if they get it.
Look until it is confirmed by Warner bros, Robert himself or Matt Reeves. We shouldn’t believe he has it. Nothing has been confirmed yet or denied which i get. if he does have it, I hope he will make a speedy recovery. No ones what symptoms he has
____fiennes____ Hoooo
did they check for the false positive like every athlete in every professional sport did?
Maybe they should stop making Batman movies Tim button was the best
1 got it. Yeah uh, Covid on that set like...
R.I.P Batman, this will be a shitty Batman movie. Then again the tree huggers with no common sense might like it.
It won’t wait 14 days and move on
