After more than a decade in development, Devil in the White City will finally be available on Hulu. Leonardo DiCaprio obtained the rights to Erik Larson's book on the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition and its connection to the first modern serial killer in 2010. At the time, the aim was to make a film based on the story, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring DiCaprio.

Along with the announcement that Reeves would be joining the cast, there are now some additional facts about the project's release schedule and plot. Here's all we know so far about the impending Devil in the White City adaptation. Release date,Hulu hasn't specified a precise release date yet, although it has stated that it will be in 2024. Also read: Mark Zuckerberg turning his own Baseball card into NFT,Meanwhile, production on the miniseries is expected to begin in 2023. With Reeves' John Wick 4 filming completed and the fifth instalment in pre-production (according to IMDB), it appears that Devil in the White City will begin production once that sequel is completed. Cast,So far, Reeves is the only member of the cast who has been announced. It would be his first role on American television since the short-lived Bill and Ted cartoon series in 1990 (though he did star in Swedish series Swedish Dicks in 2014). He'll be playing fair architect Daniel H. Burnham rather than serial killer H.H. Holmes. When Deadline reported in January that Reeves was in talks to star in the project, speculation about his casting arose.

This is the incredible story of these two men and their realization of the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, and its amazing 'White City'; one of the wonders of the world. The architect was Daniel H. Burnham, the driving force behind the White City, the massive, visionary landscape of white buildings set in a wonderland of canals and gardens. The killer was H. H. Holmes, a handsome doctor with striking blue eyes. He used the attraction of the great fair - and his own devilish charms - to lure scores of young women to their deaths.

These two disparate but driven men are brought to life in this mesmerizing, murderous tale of the legendary Fair that transformed America and set it on course for the twentieth century.

'The Batman' had an $11.6 million opening weekend and took first place at the Chinese box office. It was the biggest opening for a Hollywood title in China this year, but with coronavirus problems affecting cinema operations, the result has a tinge of missed opportunity.

'The Batman' gets off to a slow start at the China box office

Batman has his fair share of pressures, from saving Gotham to saving movie theaters. And while they’re both still decidedly works in progress, “The Batman,” starring Robert Pattinson, managed to give a little glimmer of hope to both by grossing $128.5 million in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday. The latest relaunch of the 80-year-old comic book character is well above Warner Bros.’ conservative estimates going into the weekend, which had the film pegged for a debut in the $90 million range.

There were some fan events on Tuesday and Wednesday leading into Thursday pre-shows in about 3,300 locations. All told, by the close of Friday, “The Batman” had already grossed $57 million.

Racking up around $57 million from 4,417 locations on the first day of hitting theatres, ‘The Batman’ seems to be satiating viewers after its anticipated release. ,Although the box office figure includes $21.6 million from Thursday's preview screenings, the Warner Bros. release is presumed to touch a mark somewhere between $120 million and $130 million during the weekend. ,The Robert Pattinson starrer has transcended Sony’s ‘Uncharted’, making it the biggest opening weekend release this year. Other studios have steered clear of Warner Bros. resulting in no other major box office releases this weekend. ,Also Read: Robert Pattinson was high on valium during 'Twilight' audition, actor reveals,While the film surpasses certain records, ‘The Batman’ falls short compared to the franchise’s big releases such as Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight’ and Zack Snyder’s ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’. The films amassed an opening weekend figure of $158 million and $166 million respectively. Regardless, the DC adaptation has managed to garner critical acclaim, with Peter Debruge, a critic at Variety stating that the “grounded, frequently brutal and nearly three-hour film noir registers among the best of the genre, even if — or more aptly, because — what makes the film so great is its willingness to dismantle and interrogate the very concept of superheroes.” ,Also Read: Oscars 2022: Lady Gaga, Chris Rock, and Zoë Kravitz among presenters,Directed by Matt Reeves, ‘The Batman’ features actor Robert Pattinson as the seventh actor to sport the dark cape in the live-action flick.

Set for an earlier release, the film was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, making its production budget exceed $200 million. ,Although the film seems like an ideal weekend binge for moviegoers, it still has a long way ahead before it trailblazes a separate franchise in Warner Bros’ cinematic universe.

‘The Batman’ racks up $57 million on opening day at box office

Robert Pattinson explained the meticulous diet he had to follow for filming shirtless scenes in 'The Batman'. The 35-year-old 'Twilight' star explained that as the day for shooting the shirtless scenes appeared, Pattinson would carefully count sips of water, as per People. ,At the red carpet premiere of the 2022 reboot directed by Matt Reeves, Pattinson noted, I had about three months before the movie started, and then you’re working out before and after work all the time. You just cut down and cut down and cut down before the couple of scenes with your shirt off, and you’re counting sips of water. ,Also Read | Sneak peek of 'Aquaman 2', 'Black Adam', and 'Flash' revealed by Warner Bros,The 'Good Time' actor added that going shirtless was his biggest drive to look his absolute best. Shame is my biggest motivator, 100%, the actor jokingly told People. ,He also explained the powerful feeling of putting on the Batsuit, to play the Caped Crusader. It’s funny because you read the script and you spend loads of time trying to figure out, ‘How can I play this character who does these sort of audacious acts?’ And the closer I got to the shoot I got more and more paranoid — you know, it feels ridiculous when you’re just sitting at home in a T-shirt — and then you put it on. It’s got an elemental power to it, he said, describing the outfit. ,Also Read | Ben Affleck quit Batman with help from Matt Damon,Pattinson explained that the role was bigger than any actor and people react to you differently, and the entire world suddenly changes, as per People. ,In the new Batman movie, Pattinson's character is seen introducing himself as vengeance. It is based on the superhero's earlier years and focuses more on a gritty detective iteration of the protector of Gotham. The movie sees Batman take on a rogue's gallery including Penguin and Riddler. 'The Batman' releases on March 4.

Cleveland, OH, USA

The NBA All-Star pre-game got a surprise visit from the masked defender of Gotham as the upcoming 'Batman' movie dropped a new trailer. ,Brian Anderson, the broadcaster, was providing a routine transition to the commercial break. However, the video board located outside the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland started to behave strangely. ,The board, which is meant to advertise the All-Star game, displayed green text saying unmask the truth. Soon the bat signal could be seen on the roof, and then Batman himself. Also Read | Robert Pattinson reveals new Batman clip on Jimmy Kimmel Live,Anderson can be heard saying You guys getting this in the truck? Something’s happening outside. Hold up, is that the Bat-Signal? I think the Batman’s on the roof. And I can’t believe what I’m seeing. Then, it transitions to the actual trailer as we are transported to Gotham and its criminal underbelly. ,We see Bruce Wayne take on the mantle of Batman and fight crime in Gotham. Among the many villains he encounters, is Penguin, the dangerous mobster who believes himself to be the 'Gentleman of Crime'. ,As Bruce Wayne's vigilantism begins to make waves, his loyal butler, Alfred comments on his newfound notoriety. The trailer shows a lot of action, which ties in with the type of gritty film Matt Reeves set out to make. ,Also Read | Ben Affleck quit Batman with help from Matt Damon,We see Batman coordinating with the Gotham PD, specifically Jim Gordon, and obviously, we see a lot of Selina Kyle or Catwoman, who's Batman's ally and occasional romantic interest. In the trailer, she - like many others - seems to be curious about who's underneath the mask. ,However, Batman's identity has remained a closely guarded secret to those in Gotham, and the trailer merely shows how Batman reinforces his identity as 'vengeance'. ,'The Batman' is slated to release on March 4, with Robert Pattinson playing the titular part, while Zoe Kravitz and Paul Dano appear as Selina Kyle or Catwoman, and Edward Nygma or Riddler, respectively.

Robert Pattinson recently spoke to GQ magazine about looking back at his most iconic roles, including playing teenage heartthrob Edward Cullen in 'Twilight'. Pattinson was 21 at the time. He explained that he was high on valium when auditioning for the movie. ,The 'Good Time' actor noted I had started to develop this absolute terror of auditions, which I’m sure a lot of actors have. I could be so enthusiastic about something and then the day of the audition, my confidence would just entirely collapse. The same thing happened on the morning of the ‘Twilight’ audition, and continued I had never taken a Valium before. ,Also Read | He is perfect for this role: Zoë Kravitz on Robert Pattinson as 'The Batman',Further, he explained, I just remember feeling so glorious in the back of the taxi with the window open and just being like, ‘Wow, this is what I’ve been missing.’ I think I had this quite spacey, detached kind of thing in the audition, which must have worked for the character. ,Also Read | Who inspired Rob Pattinson's Batman? Director Matt Reeves says Kurt Cobain,The 'Lighthouse' actor also recounted the artistic inputs he had about the movie. Pattinson said that he wanted 'Twilight' to be as emo and edgy as possible, which didn't sit well with the studio. He said, I wanted to make it as arty as possible. We had this strange tension where the studio was scared to make things a little bit too emo and stuff. I thought that was the only way to play it.

Also Read | After Scarlett Johansson vs Disney, it's Robert Pattinson vs DC now,The actor also reiterated a story he'd shared in 2017 about how his managers visited the set one day and encouraged him to smile more, rather than have a serious demeanour in the role.

As per the plot of the book, Mickey7 is an Expendable sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. ,Also Read: Ben Affleck quit Batman with help from Matt Damon,In an early review, author Jason Pargin called the book “a unique blend of thought-provoking sci-fi concepts, farcical relationship drama and exotic body humor.”,“Edward Ashton keeps it all grounded via a protagonist who experiences the wonders of interstellar travel and alien contact while literally having the worst job in the universe. The result is alternately amusing, intriguing and horrifying, with each chapter seeming to engage a different part of your brain, he wrote. \,Also Read: 'The Batman': Watch the new trailer of Robert Pattinson's film,Meanwhile, the movie is Bong’s first film since the 2019 thriller Parasite, which became the highest-grossing South Korean film in history. It was also the first non-English language movie to win the best picture at the Oscars. The movie also took home the awards for original screenplay, director and international feature. Bong has also directed acclaimed films like “Snowpiercer,” “The Host,” “Okja” and “Barking Dogs Never Bite.”,Pattinson, on the other hand, will next be seen in the much anticipated 'The Batman,' which will hit the theatres in March.

Ben Affleck recently opened up about his decision to part ways with the role of Batman, after struggling with playing the caped crusader over many years. He reiterated how difficult it was for him to appear as Gotham's defender in the 'Justice League' movie while speaking with Matt Damon in an Entertainment Weekly interview. ,Affleck said, I had a really nadir experience around Justice League for a lot of different reasons. Not blaming anybody, there's a lot of things that happened. But really what it was is that I wasn't happy. I didn't like being there. I didn't think it was interesting. And then some really s---ty things, awful things happened. But, that's when I was like, I'm not going to do that anymore. ,Also Read | Royal Mail honours The Rolling Stones with special stamps on the band's 60th anniversary,He continued, explaining how Damon, his 'Good Will Acting' co-star, helped him move on to different projects. When Affleck spoke to Damon, the latter made him realize how the actor should be doing things that bring him joy. ,It sparked the decision to be part of Ridley Scott's recent venture, 'The Last Duel'. Affleck spoke about this role, saying, I wasn't the star, I wasn't likeable. I was a villain. I wasn't all the things I thought I was supposed to be when I started out and yet it was a wonderful experience. And it was all just stuff that came along that I wasn't chasing. ,Also Read | 'White Lotus' Season 2 casts Aubrey Plaza,In an earlier instance, Affleck had already shared how he found 'Justice League' filming to be extremely hard, and blamed it for his drinking relapse. This in turn prompted his decision to pull out of the solo Batman movie, which paved the way for Robert Pattinson to don the cowl. However, Affleck will be seen in the Batman role in the upcoming Flash film. The actor has noted that it marks a nice finish to his experience with the character.

'The Batman': Watch the new trailer of Robert Pattinson's film

No actor nails angst like Robert Pattinson. Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” won’t be like the other “playboy” Batman portrayals we have so far seen, the director has said in a new interview with Empire magazine. His inspiration like that of Gen Xers, in every direction, was Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain. Reeves, 55, told Empire that “When I write, I listen to music, and as I was writing the first act, I put on Nirvana’s ‘Something In The Way'. That’s when it came to me that, rather than make Bruce Wayne the playboy version we’ve seen before, there’s another version who had gone through a great tragedy and become a recluse.”,Also Read: Who is The Riddler?,The 90s grunge god awakened something in Bruce Wayne, not witnessed in Christian Bale’s refined rendition, Ben Affleck’s brooding appearance or the quippier Caped Crusader portrayals of yore. So I started making this connection to Gus Van Sant’s ‘Last Days,’ and the idea of this fictionalized version of Kurt Cobain being in this kind of decaying manor,” said the filmmaker. The “Cloverfield” director also said that Pattinson, 35, had already shown himself fit for the role in the Safdie brothers' panic-inducing directorial offering, “Good Time”, in 2017. Matt Reeves is also known for his work in the “Cloverfield” and “Planet of the Apes” franchises. Also Read: Ben Affleck's net worth in 2021,Reeves continued praising Pattinson's role in the Safdie brothers' movie, saying, “In that movie, you could really feel his vulnerability and desperation, but you could also feel his power. I thought that was a great mix. He’s also got that Kurt Cobain thing, where he looks like a rock star, but you also feel like he could be a recluse.” Batman has come to be known as a suave socialite and high-tech gear heard in previous iterations, while Pattinson captures a misanthropic, alienated genius who lives as grittily as his appearance suggests. He described his Bruce Wayne as a shut-in who tinkers by day and brawls in a threadbare Batsuit by night.

Jeffery Wright hails Robert Pattinson’s Batman as 'Badass'

Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Directed by Matt Reeves, the <a href="https://opoyi.com/inspired-by-star-wars-social-media-in-splits-seeing-team-usas-olympics-mask">filming
of the movie</a> was delayed due to COVID-19, because of which the movie will be

all,” he added.,Jeffrey Wright also shared his enthusiasm for The Batman and
said, “I loved the script and I loved what we were doing. We were doing it in
circumstances that I didn’t love that were really very challenging. Once we

the isolation away from family over in London isolated in an empty hotel. But
we made, I think, a brilliant film.”,Stepping into the shoes which have been worn many times

‘The Batman’: Actor Jeffery Wright reveals details about the ‘brilliant’ film

Robert Pattinson, who has played Edward Cullen in Twilight
movie, continues to <a href="https://opoyi.com/leslie-grace-haley-lu-richardson-emerge-as-frontrunners-for-hbos-batgirl">define his career</a> in many ways. He has been cast to play
Batman/Bruce Wayne in the upcoming movie ‘The Batman’ which is set to be
released in 2022. However, it appears that the actor sn’t 100 percent happy
with the way DC is handing the project.,<b>Also Read:&nbsp;</b><a href="https://opoyi.com/black-widow-row-womens-groups-call-out-disneys-attack-on-scarlett-johansson">‘Black Widow’ row: Women's groups call out Disney's attack on Scarlett Johansson</a>,According to We Got This Covered, Pattinson isn’t happy with
the fact that more than one Batman movie will be released around the same time.
The Flash, starring Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton, will be released just eight
months before ‘The Batman’.,Though Pattinson has already signed a lucrative deal with DC
for the movie, so his pockets are going to be find even if it’s a flop. &nbsp;But it won’t be wrong to say that no actor
wants to have a bad movie attached to their name. Since this is arguably
Pattinson’s biggest role since Twilight, it could serious damage his career so
it’s clear that he has a lot riding on this project.,<b>Also Read:&nbsp;</b><a href="https://opoyi.com/actor-michael-b-jordan-working-on-a-superman-project-with-hbo-max-reports">Actor Michael B.

has gone through a lot of ups and downs. Initially, Ben Affleck was slated to
be the film’s star, director, and co-writer. In 2017, he stepped down as the
director and co-writer, and Matt Reeves took on both roles. Once he took
charge, Reeves began to refocus the movie’s story on a <a href="https://opoyi.com/amazon-quiz-which-of-these-actors-played-this-character-in-a-movie-that-also-starred-nicole-kidman-1">younger version of
Batman. </a>,In 2019, Affleck decided to remove himself from the project
completely, and Robert Pattinson was cast to play the leading role. The Batman
was initially scheduled to be released in June 2021, but its date was pushed back
twice due to COVID-19. It will now be released on March 4, 2022 provided there
are no other hiccups along the way.

New set photos suggest 'Superman', 'Wonder Woman' exist in 'The Batman' universe

Comic book fans around the world will be celebrating ‘Batman Day’ on Monday. Gotham's crime fighter has been one of the most iconic superheroes not just in comic books, but also on screen. Over the years, many actors have tried their hands at playing the ‘Dark Knight’. While some lived up to the expectations of the fans, others have left them disappointed. . Let's take a look at some of the actors who have played Batman on screen:. Lewis Wilson. Lewis Wilson was the first actor to play Batman in the 1943 serial of the same name. Broken into 15 chapters, the series was based on Batman’s quest to defeat a Japanese saboteur wreaking havoc on Gotham City. Wilson was considered fine in the character with the plot not providing anything to churn out any exceptional performance from him. Robert Lowery. Six years after the first Batman series, it was Robert Lowery’s turn to don the cowl in the sequel, ‘Batman and Robin’. The movie had everything, from the Bat-signal working in broad daylight to Lowery producing a full-size blow-torch from his utility belt. Critics considered Lowery forgettable in this role. Adam West. Adam West played Batman from 1966 to 1968 in both the television series and the film spin-off. The Adam West era is rather famous among the fans. He continued to be associated with the character years down the line. Majority of fans loved him, while some did not prefer him at all. West took part in various animated projects and completely embraced the pop-culture icon identity. Michael Keaton. Michael Keaton starred as Batman in Tim Burton’s 1989 movie of the same name. The film received major backlash for portrayal of violence and unnecessary sexual references. However, it was recently revealed that Keaton is returning as Batman in Mat Reeves’ next Batman movie. Val Kilmer. Val Kilmer played Batman in Joel Schumacher’s 1995 film, ‘Batman Forever’. Although the film was surprisingly a box-office success, Kilmer was heavily criticised for his portrayal of the Dark Knight. His Batsuit is probably the most hated till date. . George Clooney. Everyone expected Clooney to be a good choice for the role of Batman until ‘ Batman & Robin’ was released in 1997. It was the worst box-office performing Batman film of the modern era with Clooney joking about his role till date. . Christian Bale. Yes, Christian Bale got overshadowed by Heath Ledger and Tom Hardy, but he is still one of the most fan-favourites in this role. However, he was heavily criticised for his tight-lippedness as Bruce Wayne and an over-husky voice as Batman. . Ben Affleck. The most recent to play the role, Affleck portrayed a middle-aged Batman in  Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. Affleck gave rise to several debates with many considering him exceptional while many saying they expected more. He recently announced his departure from the franchise, however fans will still get to see him in The Snyder Cut to be released next year. Special mention:. Robert Pattinson. Although it is tough to comment on how his portrayal will turn out, the look test shared by director Matt Reeves had left fans crying for more and so did the teaser. Considering the tremendous talent of Pattinson as an actor, fans have immense hopes from him. . #Batman #RobertPattinson #cinema #Hollywood #Comics .

The director Christopher Nolan has a penchant for real locations and effects, and the clip underlines how he avoid computer-generated imagery.,For Tenet, he blew up a Boeing 747 for a plane crash sequence. Robert Pattinson, who stars in the movie had the perfect description for Nolan's style involving tangible sets. "A lot of these sequences, you kind of read in the script and you just think, ‘Yeah, would be cool in a movie.' And then you get to set, and it's like, Yeah, we got a 747 crashing into the building. That's how we're achieving the 747 crashing into the building. It feels very, very real, essentially cause it is real," the actor said. ,The cast includes also features John David Washington and Elizabeth Debicki, who plays a scorned woman who regains her freedom, as she did in Steve McQueen's "Widows". ,After several postponements, the film, which ran to a $200 million (169 million euros) budget, is the first of its kind to dare a release during the pandemic. ,It was shot in seven different countries and features a black hero, something that the decision-makers of the 007 franchise have yet to embrace.
