BATMAN FILMING PAUSED AFTER ROBERT PATTERSON TEST POSITIVE TO COVID 19
Written by admin on September 4, 2020
Filming for The Batman has been suspended again, days after it resumed following the coronavirus lockdown.
The pause in filming is because lead actor Robert Pattinson has tested positive for the virus. 34 year British actor Pattinson caught the virus days after shooting resumed near London, after a six-month delay to filming.
The Batman was initially due for release in June 2021 but has been delayed to October 2021.
The stop in production comes as Hollywood scrambles to get back to work after the pandemic brought a halt to all film and TV shoots in March.
Several major Hollywood blockbusters resumed filming in the last two months, a number of them in Britain, which loosened coronavirus travel rules to allow casts and crew to fly in for work.
Among the high-profile films that have received the green light to resume production are “Jurassic World: Dominion,” starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, and “Mission: Impossible 7” starring Tom Cruise.
