In a recent, interview to Flickering Myth, Academy
Award Nominee Michael Wilkinson discussed his work on Zack Snyder's upcoming
Man of Steel sequel.
Wilkinson, who had previously collaborated with the
director on 300 and Watchmen, talked about how the process compared between his
experience on Watchmen and Batman vs. Superman.
“I feel like the process is similar.
We dive into the source material and make sure that we have a firm knowledge of
that. We make sure that we’re respecting the source material but then at
the same time trust our intuition and imagination to take us into interesting
areas. Maybe what has changed is the shorthand. Like any
relationship over the years we get there quicker. There’s so much trust
and mutual respect that the ideas flow freely. There’s no sense of being judged
or being afraid that there’s anything such thing as a bad idea. That makes everything a tighter, wonderful and gratifying
experience.”
The costume designer then talked
about working in conjunction with production designer Patrick Tatopoulos, who
had worked on the Zack Snyder co-written and co-produced 300: Rise of an Empire.
“There is of course a design dialogue
about how the costumes work with the production design and making sure we’re
all on the same page. I have been heading up the costume design of the
film. This film is incredibly ambitious, epic and far
reaching. As a costume designer it’s such a thrill. There’s
never a boring day. You always have to work harder and harder to make it
even more awesome and imaginative. It’s a
thrilling ride.”
Opening on May 6th, 2016,
Batman vs. Superman will star Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman,
Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as
Alfred, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane
