Bong Joon-ho has always had a fantastic way of telling stories with compelling and subversive social messages.

Lee B. Golden III

CinemaCon is the place to be for the latest developments and announcements on some of the biggest titles to make the news rounds. As of a short while ago, that finally includes confirmation of a sequel to Matt Reeves’ hit adaptation of The Batman, with Reeves returning to direct leading man Robert Pattinson back in the cape and cowl. Reeves’ first incarnation centers on our titular crime fighter’s second year as the Caped Crusader, unfolding a series of events plaguing Gotham City with terroristic threats escalating and stoking fear and panic thanks to The Riddler, portrayed by Paul Dano. The film, which also stars Zoë Kravitz as Selena Kyle (a.k.a. Catwoman), Colin Farrell as Ozwald Cobblepot (a.k.a. The Penguin), John Turturro as Carmine Falcone and Jeffery Wright as GCPD officer James Gordon, and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth. The Batman, according to Deadline, has earned upwards of $760 million dollars […]

THE BATMAN Review: An Cautionary Crime Fighting Tale That Brings The Best Out Of Itself

Lee B. Golden III

I always get a little self-conscious about the big tentpole films, mainly because every other platform’s reviewed them and I’m usually on the last minute train catching up on either VOD or streaming. It is interesting, however, to see the reactions coming out on social media following the HBO Max release of The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz. Indeed, not every film is everyone’s cup of tea, although it is fascinating that some people didn’t enjoy this latest chapter from Warner Bros. Pictures’ DC adaptations as much as other folks like myself did. I think every film based on this property has been good, to their own degrees. Some have a stylish, albeit campy, comic book-ish flair like the Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher-directed affairs of the 80s and 90s. Others have a much more visually leaner, socially-toned take like with director Christopher […]

THE BATMAN Riddles An Explosive Early Tale Of The Dark Knight In The Official Trailer

Lee B. Golden III

DC’s The Flash? Aquaman 2? Shazam 2? The Peacemaker series? Pick your respective poisons, kids. I, along with a select few of others were just here for perhaps one thing and one thing only for the time being, which was the long-hyped official trailer for The Batman following last year’s in-production promo as principal photography remained and wrangled on through the pandemic last year. Follow the hype long enough via Twitter and you’ll hear plenty about the film’s overall narrative delivery and expected duration which is said to be close to three hours, which sounds like plenty of Batman for your…uh…Batbuck? Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz were on hand with director Matt Reeves to discuss the film during Saturday’s late hour DC Fandome presentation, showcasing behind the scenes footage along with some extra goods here and there from the film as well, but the new trailer is where we’re at […]

THE BATMAN: The Batmobile Revealed!

Lee B. Golden III

Production on The Batman has so far seen director Matt Reeves flick little crumbs of goodies from the set of his new DC Comics-inspired flick. We have a camera test teasing the costume, as well as shots of actor Robert Pattinson on the snowy set with what looks to be the Batcycle, and now Reeves is touting his own presentation of the Batmobile, which looks like a steady and slick hybrid between the Lincoln-Futura and the other darker, grittier all-black models. ?? #TheBatman pic.twitter.com/qJFNprk1ut — Matt Reeves (@mattreevesLA) March 4, 2020 Production officially began in late January and is expected to open on June 25, 2021 from Warner Bros.

TENET First Official Trailer: Christopher Nolan Toys With Time To The Backdrop Of Espionage

Lee B. Golden III

I’m still trying to process what is currently being sampled in the official trailer for writer/director Christopher Nolan’s new film, Tenet. No plot details have yet been revealed but as always, Nolan sticks to some really great caveats and tropes when it comes to his craft, and it always results in some intriguing, deep-in-scope narrative epic. His latest seems to be no different as it deals with the element of time as part of its story and seeming action sequences. John David Washington and Robert Pattinson star in the new action espionage epic filmed between IMAX and 70mm film. A July 17 release is now in order and with Elizabeth Debicki, Dimple Kapadia, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Clémence Poésy, Michael Caine and Kenneth Branagh rounding out the cast.

Warner Bros. Pictures officially confirmed on Friday that Robert Pattinson will don the cape and cowl for The Batman. Pre-production begins this summer for a start date to be announced. The news comes just a few weeks after THR reported Pattinson as the frontrunner in a shortlist that also cited Nicholas Hoult as a candidate. Unfortunately that didn’t stop the breathless reporting from other bloggers writing up Pattinson’s casting as official news despite nothing being signed. Friday’s news makes it official with Pattinson set to be the seventh actor to take on the iconic DC role after Ben Affleck’s stint in Zack Snyder’s Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice and Justice League. Reeves, best known for directing the last two Apes franchise titles for Warner Bros. will helm, and also serve as producer with Dylan Clark. (VARIETY)

Lee B. Golden III

UPDATE (May 31, 2019): Variety officially confirms Robert Pattinson will star in The Batman in 2021. EARLIER: As much as I see this as a developing story, fans are already head deep in the breathless reporting over Robert Pattinson being cast for The Batman ahead of what looks to be a summer start of pre-production. Reports came Thursday night with talk of the Twilight star standing as the front-runner for the role in a shortlist that also listed Tolkien star Nicholas Hoult. As Justin Kroll reported at Variety however, the actor “was cast even as Reeves continues to polish a final version of the script.” The update also serves as a major milestone as DC takes 2019 by storm to cheer the character’s 80th birthday through the release of new comics and new events throughout the country in a celebration dubbed “Long Live The Bat”.

Lee B. Golden III

With a cast annouced as of late, Antonio Campos (The Sinner, Christine) is set to direct The Devil All The Time. Campos will direct from a script penned by himself and co-scribe Paulo Campos, based on Donald Ray Pollock’s 2011 novel of the same name and with principal photography slated for Alabama next month.

Lee B. Golden III

At first glance, you couldn’t have paid me enough to recognize actor Robert Pattinson in the latest trailer for the new crime drama, Good Time from film duo Josh and co-star Ben Safdie. I guess that’s what happens when you look away for a while because his role shown in the newest trailer for the film from A24, now heading for an in-competition premiere at Cannes on May 25th, ahead of an August 11 release in the U.S. After a botched bank robbery lands his younger brother in prison, Constantine Nikas (Robert Pattinson) embarks on a twisted odyssey through the city’s underworld in an increasingly desperate—and dangerous—attempt to get his brother out of jail. Over the course of one adrenalized night, Constantine finds himself on a mad descent into violence and mayhem as he races against the clock to save his brother and himself, knowing their lives hang in the […]
