As
we previously stated, 2015 will be one of the biggest and most
profitable years in Hollywood history thanks to such movies like Star
Wars: Episode VII, Assassin's Creed, Fantastic Four, Ant-Man,
Avengers: Age of Ultron, Bond 24, Mission: Impossible 5, Jurassic
World, Batman vs. Superman and World of Warcraft, and it's about
these last two that producer Charles Roven talked about when
interviewed by Variety.
“On
‘Batman vs. Superman,’ we started soft prep in June, and we’ll
be shooting eight months later....We felt that we accomplished our
goals with ‘Man of Steel, our intention was to bring Superman into
the 21st century with a contemporary character and a different kind
of superhero than what’s out there right now...We knew we had
created a world and we had left Easter eggs in the movie that let
people know that in the universe that Zack was creating, there was
the possibility of other DC characters besides Clark Kent."
Roven
says the idea has been around for some time:
"We
had a sketch of an idea, the beats of a story that David Goyer worked
on with Zack. We have a first draft, and we’re continuing to work
with it. Those scripts are never fully finished until the movie is in
the theaters. We love the characters — we think that Ben (Affleck)
is going to be a really great and interesting Batman.”
He
then adds that Affleck is the right choice to play the more mature
Batman:
“We
wanted a guy who had a certain age and a certain gravitas to what he
had done in terms of his recent work. If you take a look at ‘The
Town’ and ‘Argo,’ he plays a couple of serious guys in those
movies. He’s a big man. He’s also a mature man. As you see him
and Henry together, one definitely has much more experience just by
looking at him. That’s what we wanted, particularly juxtaposed
against our Superman.”
During
the interview Roven also mentioned the upcoming Warcraft film, which
he says will begin production this January.
“I
have a great partner in Alex Gartner, who’s in Vancouver with our
director Duncan Jones,” Roven says. “I was there last week. I’m
in an editing room on ‘American Hustle’ and in the production
office in Pasadena on ‘Batman’ and flying up to Vancouver for
‘Warcraft,’ which will start in early January.”
