Robert Pattinson Has COVID-19, Halting The Batman Production

preview

Robert Pattinson is said to have tested positive for the coronavirus, causing filming of The Batman to be halted just days after the superhero drama resumed work at studios outside of London.Warner Bros. would not comment on any individual worker’s health, sharing only this statement: “A member of The Batman production has tested positive for Covid-19, and is isolating in accordance with established protocols. Filming is temporarily paused.” Vanity Fair confirmed through a highly placed source that Pattinson was the individual who became sick.The production previously shut down, along with most other entertainment industry work, back in March when the quarantine lockdown first hit.Pattinson’s representative did not immediately return a request for comment.In the new movie, directed by Planet of the Apes filmmaker Matt Reeves, Batman is in his second year of vigilantism, and is trying to solve a series of gruesome serial killings. The case causes him to cross paths with Paul Dano’s The Riddler, Zoë Kravitz’s Selina Kyle (before she becomes the criminal Catwoman), and the underworld figure Oswald Cobblepot, nicknamed The Penguin behind his back, played by Colin Farrell.&nbsp;Jeffrey Wright co-stars as Commissioner James Gordon, Andy Serkis plays Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler Alfred, and John Turturro is the gangster Carmine Falcone.“It’s a criminological experiment. He’s trying to figure out what he can do to finally change this place. You see that he’s charting what he’s doing, and he’s seeing he isn’t having any of the effect that he wants to have yet,” Reeves said recently at the DC Fandome event that revealed the new trailer. “The murders start to happen, and the murders start to describe a history of Gotham. It only reinforces what he knows about Gotham, but opens up a whole world of corruption that went much further.”The movie is planned for release in 2021.This story has been updated with new information.&nbsp;More Great Stories From Vanity Fair— on Black Lives Matter— Celebrating on the Forefront of Change— Here’s Your First Look at — as Batman in The Flash— Ta-Nehisi Coates Guest-Edits , a Special Issue— Behind the Scenes of the — How Hollywood Shaped — From the Archive: — Not a subscriber? to receive the September issue, plus full digital access, now.Most Popular is a senior Hollywood correspondent at Vanity Fair.
