AceShowbiz – Film crew members will have to take coronavirus safety training two days before a shoot, according to a leaked list of British Film Commission protocols aimed at kickstarting the industry after the coronavirus shutdown.
The BFC’s new Film And TV Production Codes of Practice document, drawn up to provide government officials with details about a safe return to work, has been obtained by Deadline.
It will be subject to scrutiny over the next 10 days, but early guidelines for the filming of big budget movies and TV series like “The Batman” and “The Witcher” include provisions for a COVID-19 supervisor, who has the authority to stop work if a set becomes unsafe, on every production, and at daily briefings.
Set coordinators will also be required to hang posters on walls reminding cast and crew to wash their hands and keep their distance, and extra security has been suggested to manage set perimeters.
Under the new protocols, cast and crew will be forced to undergo pre-shoot health screenings and there will be temperature checks twice a day, while producers have been asked to provide support for heightened stress and anxiety.
Meanwhile, communal food preparation, storage and serving will be banned and communal spaces, such as toilets and dressing rooms, should be cleaned daily. Sets should be locked down when not in use.
Filmmakers will also be asked to cut down on crowd scenes, using computer generated imagery where possible to reduce the number of supporting artists on set.
The official guidelines will be presented by BFC bosses later this month, when Prime Minister Boris Johnson will make his decision on when to end the film industry shutdown.

Matt Reeves is keen to finish the production of the Caped Crusader movie in Britain after it came to a screeching halt due to the global coronavirus pandemic.
Apr 12, 2020
AceShowbiz – “The Batman” director Matt Reeves wants to finish filming the movie in London after the coronavirus outbreak there has ended – but hasn’t ruled out moving production elsewhere.
Reeves and a cast including Robert Pattinson, who plays the titular superhero, Zoe Kravitz, Paul Dano, and Colin Farrell, had shot around a quarter of the film in the U.K. when production was halted last month, March 2020 as the country was hit by Covid-19.
Asked if he would consider moving the shoot to a location less affected by the global pandemic, the filmmaker said the plan is to return – but that nothing is off the table should Britain remain in lockdown for an extended period.
“It’s way too early to say,” he told Deadline.com. “I can’t imagine we wouldn’t finish in London. The situation is fluid.”
Updating fans on the progress he made before the shoot was put on hold, Reeves explained, “We’re not officially editing right now. We’ve actually shot a quarter of the movie and I have been pouring through dailies, looking at takes, and what’s to come.”
The film has also been hit by tragedy as Andrew Jack, a renowned dialect coach and actor who was working on the project, died after contracting Covid-19.
“He was a lovely and special person and it’s one of those things where it makes you re-prioritise and realise how fragile everything is,” Reeves said in a tribute to Jack.
Mulling the tough times brought on by the health crisis, he added, “I’m tremendously focused on the movie and, of course, it’s nice to be able to stop. But the real thing I’ve been thinking about is the state the world is in, and hoping that everyone is going to be OK and that everyone is going to social distance and do everything to be safe, because it’s a very scary time.”

The new vehicle to be featured in Matt Reeves’ movie looks to be a modified classic American muscle car, which is unlike any other cars shown in previous Batman films.
Mar 5, 2020
AceShowbiz – New official set photos from “The Batman” have been shared by Matt Reeves, this time revealing the Batmobile. The director took to Twitter on Wednesday, March 3 to post three images featuring the new vehicle, with Robert Pattinson’s titular character standing next to it in his complete Batsuit.
The pictures give a close-up look and details of the new Batmobile, which looks to be a modified classic American muscle car, possibly a Chevy Camaro or a Dodge Charger from the late ’60s. The car, which is unlike any other cars shown in previous Batman films, has an exposed rear engine with three horizontal red brake lights on each side.

People have since shown mixed reactions to the car design, with actor Elijah Wood expressing his excitement, “s**t yes! cannot wait for what you’re crafting, Matt.” Marvel director James Gunn showed his support with raised-hands emoji, while some others compared it to “The Fast and The Furious” cars. “THE DARK AND THE FURIOUS,” one person wrote. Another added, “The Bat and the Furious!!”

There were some others, however, who think that Ben Affleck’s Batmobile in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has the best design. “This is the best By Far,” one tweeted along with picture of Affleck posing next to his Batmobile.
Echoing the sentiment, another wrote, “Sigh…nothing will ever live up to this again huh.” An apparent Synder fan similarly commented, “Just when you think it can’t get any worse…,” while someone else dubbed the new Batmobile “Serious DOWNGRADE..!!”
Besides starring Pattinson as the titular character, “The Batman” will feature Colin Farrell as the Penguin, Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as Batman’s villain The Riddler, Jeffrey Wright who is said to play James Gordon, and Peter Sarsgaard who is cast in a mystery role. There has been a speculation that Sarsgaard might be portraying District Attorney Harvey Dent, who becomes the villain Two-Face.
The solo movie is slated for June 25, 2021 release in U.S. theaters.
