People need to accept that there won't be real movies in actual theaters for at least another year.
Tenet was finished before COVID basically. Movies currently in production in full capacity theaters won't be back for a while. The movie business is dead until Avatar 2 opens and officially brings the theater experience back. A new era awaits.
New Mutants doesn't count.
They're desperate for content to release, and figured it was a worthwhile risk.
Yes. The industry has started investing in more animation productions.
Then enlighten me. I know many Amercian crew members who travel abroad for productions shot on location. I'm well aware that local crew are probably a large number of boots on the ground but both DC films and Matt Reeves production companies are American.
You are forgetting about the all of the movies that were suppose to release in 2020 but are now delayed to 2021. The delayed 2020 films will provide a buffer for many studios.
The following films were either completed or in post-production before the delays:
Godzilla vs. Kong
Ghostbusters: Afterlife
Fast and Furious 9
Morbius
Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Top Gun: Maverick
A Quiet Place Part II
Spiral: From the Book of Saw

god damn, get well soon Rob
I'm expecting this not to make its release date

Yes like i said, new era doesn't commence until Avatar 2. Praise be.
He didn't and he admits he caught it from having close friends round
Yeah...I'm surprised more people aren't callng out how incredibly stupid it is to film a ffucking movie of all things during a global pandemic. These mega film corporations can more than afford to pay low salaried staff aid.
The thing is that even though the can do that they are not doing it or plan to do it at some point, it's like fuck the people and let them be sacrificed so we can keep getting richer.
Warner and Disney can take the hit of paying something basic to their workers without them actually working but nope.
That's why these productions and going ahead and I think it will be close to impossible to not have situations like this one, where someone catch the virus and probably infectec someone else, in blockbuster productions.
Batman got sick from something derived from Bats. 2020. You can't make this up!
I'm not going to guilt trip him for that. They were probably part of his Quaranteam.
On top of that they will release it in theaters which present super spreader like conditions. Hollywood is doing a double whammy of fuck you to public health. Robert Pattinson himself can use some of that Twilight money to help out some of the most needing crew. A vaccine should be out within the next 4 month's, and covid cases even on the US have declined month over month. Don't fuck it up at the finish line.
Some professional athletes are ending up with heart issues and apparently 35% of those in the big ten/pac 12 had myocarditis.
healthy could just mean you not dying. But you could have insane long terms effects no matter what.
hopefully he recovers fully with no issues, just like any other person who gets this virus.
Always worthy of being remembered. 34-year-old Rob may walk away fine but the onset atmosphere can only deteriorate further.

This film went though some legit shit so far. It officially became one of those Cursed Productions as of today in my eyes. DC´s bumpy ride continues and it´s Nr 1 IP is in the eye of the storm again.

Maybe you should watch his video? Aside from the family they caught it from, they haven't.
So I was right. Except somehow I wasn't because it was "only one other family"? FOH.
Hope his health isn't impacted by this too seriously and the rest of the crew can manage to avoid infection all-together. Terrible news. :/
Nah, not really. You assumed he never stopped, which he did. Unless you are also assuming this event was the only one friend/family event he had planned since March.
I hope he gets well soon. He's young and fit, but sometimes that's just not enough and we don't know if he has asthma or anything that hidden.
Also, to be a nerd.... Batman wears a cowl, not a mask.

They dropped a trailer with only 25-30% of the movie filmed? That sounds insane to me.
I don't watch trailers of teasers or anything before watching a movie, but as far as I know that Batman thing was a teaser. You could 100% do a teaser with a 25% shot, which was the amount they had shit when they edited that teaser.

I just don't understand how movies are not being paused. Like there was an HBO movie with Zendaya that was filmed during quarantine where all the actors and crew members had to quarantine in a hotel for like 12 days, then get tested and come to set. I think that's good, but if you have to do ALL OF THAT maybe make the movie later? It's bizarre.
Tyler Perry recently did it in Atlanta. He set up a village on his studio property; everyone entered the bubble and weren't allowed to leave until filming wrapped and they came out with no positive tests.
Or maybe this is the same movie; don't know for sure.
But yeah, if they're adamant about filming, they NEED to do this.
Wouldn't he have been tested just before Batman shooting began?
