'The Batman' Filming Temporarily Halts After Robert Pattinson Tests Positive For Covid-19

Vanity Fair  is reporting that filming on 'The Batman' has been temporarily halted due to Rob testing positive for Covid-19. I know we are all thinking of Rob and wishing him a speedy recovery!

From Vanity Fair:

"Robert Pattinson has tested positive for coronavirus, according to Vanity Fair, prompting “The Batman” to suspend filming in the United Kingdom.

Warner Bros. confirmed earlier on Thursday that production was being put on hold after a crew member tested positive but did not confirm the person’s identity.

“A member of ‘The Batman’ production has tested positive for COVID-19 and is isolating in accordance with established protocols,” a Warner Bros. spokesperson said in a statement. “Filming is temporarily paused.”

The studio did not immediately respond to a request for comment about whether or not Pattinson had contracted the virus, nor did a representative for the actor.

News of the shutdown comes days after the gritty comic book adventure went back into production following months-long filming delays. “The Batman,” starring Pattinson as the Caped Crusader, was about seven weeks into filming when they had to turn off cameras due to the pandemic. The movie has approximately three months of material left to shoot and hopes to be done filming by the end of the year."
