Ben Affleck Updates Batman Movie Status by filmjunkee
Ben Affleck spoke to the NY Times and of course the status of his Batman movie became a topic of conversation. As much as we would love to hear that the script is ready and they will being filming soon…it’s pretty much what we already have heard form him. But I love what he has to say.
We still have to get a screenplay and get it together. I’m a real believer in not reverse engineering projects to meet a window or a date, but rather when you get the right story, the right idea, the right thing, then you make the movie. That’s what we’re doing, and I’m hoping to get that done. I’m spending a lot of time working on that, but also working on other stuff.
If I could, there’s nothing I’d love more than to direct a stand-alone iconic, great Batman movie. But it’s been done. Chris Nolan did three really great movies. I’m really mindful of that. I’m not in any hurry to jam the mediocre movie down the pipe. I really want to make sure, if we do it, we get the great version and one that’s worthy of tradition of guys like Tim Burton, Chris Nolan, and Christian Bale.
