There is a new Batman movie in the making and a director for it could be announced soon. Ben Affleck was originally going to direct the movie 'The Batman' but has made way for 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' director Matt Reeves. Affleck said it was a tough decision to hand over the directing reins. He explained that he could not act in as well as direct the new Batman film. He said: "Performing this role demands focus, passion and the very best performance I can give. It has become clear that I cannot do both jobs to the level they require. Together with the studio, I have decided to find a partner in a director who will collaborate with me on this massive film."
新《蝙蝠俠》電影劇本正在創(chuàng)作過程中,很快將宣布導演人選。新《蝙蝠俠》原本將由本·阿弗萊克執(zhí)導,但是他讓位給《猩球崛起:黎明之戰(zhàn)》導演馬特·里夫斯。阿弗萊克表示,將導演的權利出讓是非常艱難的決定。他解釋說,他不可能同時擔任新影片的演員和導演。他說:“扮演這個角色要求專注,激情和最好的演技。很明顯,我不可能同時將兩項工作發(fā)揮到最佳水平。我和工作室一道決定尋找搭檔,和我一起完成這個鴻篇巨制。”
The movie industry magazine 'Variety' reports that Mr Reeves is in initial talks with the production company Warner Bros. to accept taking over as director. It is reported that Mr Affleck stepped down from the role late last month. Industry sources revealed that the studio has had multiple meetings with Reeves about becoming director. Mr Reeves is currently in post-production with his latest movie 'War for the Planet of the Apes,' which opens on July 14. Variety said it should be no problem for Reeves to take over as 'The Batman' director and that he will likely do so later this year. Filming was initially due to begin in May, as the script has already been written. However, it is now expected to begin later in 2017.
