Cinematographer Robert Richardson Denies That He Is Shooting 'The Batman'

"I'm not shooting The Batman. ...I have never met with [director] Matt Reeves," he told The Hollywood Reporter during an interview Thursday for an upcoming Behind the Screen podcast about his latest film, Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

"I woke up this morning to a slew of text messages, 'Congratulations, I didn't know you were shooting Batman.' I was highly perplexed," said Richardson. "The closest part of reality is that when Ben Affleck was going to direct, I was going to shoot. But I don't know how that got moved into this space."

He added that when Affleck was attached to direct with Richardson as a DP, "I thought, finally, I get to do a Batman movie. I think that would be a lot of fun. whether Batman, or I have alway wanted to shoot Superman.... He was one of my favorite characters growing up."
 
You bald bastahs took a no name twitter scoop and made us dream. lol

The thing is though, based on that interview he wants to do it.

Dammit now I hope Reeves hires him lol
 
Keep believing TheGWW, Thomas Polito and the likes.

LOVE IT when the same thing always happens.
 
Went from midnight to 6 real quick.

Go out there and beg him to hire Robert Richardson. Richardson wants to do it after all lol
 
^ You don't have to tell me what to do, and I hardly comment here. **** off
You can make whatever conversation you want.

Go to take your tantrum out with another person. Stay mad for being too gullible i guess

Clowns....! Didnt Polito “break” the news abt Vanessa Kirby too? And then she later does an interview being clueless about it.

He knows nothing.

Yep. They've exhausted their goodwill. No more time of day for them.

What a bummer.
 
Well, whoever directs the next Superman movie better give him a call.
 
I know it will never happen cause this is mostly a ''boys club'' and she ain't really on the mainstream map, but my out of the box choice would be Natasha Braier.

Potential cinematographers:
-Michael Seresin. (Angel Heart, Dawn and War of the Planet of the Apes)
-Greig Fraser (Vice, The Mandalorian, Let Me In)
-Robert Richardson (Casino, Shutter Island, The Hateful Eight)
-Roger Deakins. (Blade Runner 2049, No Country for Old Men)
-Lawrence Sher. (Joker)
 
I'm definitely going to be more cautious with DiscussingFilm/Geeks Worldwide,

This wasn’t Polito’s or The GWW’s scoop. It was Discussing Film’s story IIRC.
 
Ah well, if Reeves winds up bringing his Apes crew that's still exciting. Seresin is an excellent cinematographer. Richardson would have been a hell of a get but it's not as if Dawn and War aren't gorgeous films.
