VENOM Cinematographer Signs On To BIRDS OF PREY; Says The Movie May Be Getting A New Title
As Warner Bros. prepares to start shooting Birds of Prey, a cinematographer with comic book movie experience has signed up to work on the DC Comics adaptation and claims it could end up with a new title...
Birds of Prey is a priority for Warner Bros. and it appears as if those working on the movie are wasting no time in putting together a talented group of individuals to bring the DC Comics adventure to life. During a recent interview with GMA News, A Star Is Born and Venom cinematographer Matthew Libatique confirmed that he'll serve the same role on the Margot Robbie led ensemble.
However, he also confirmed that the movie will more than likely end up being called something other than Birds of Prey. "I'm in preparation on a film currently called Birds of Prey," he said. "It's probably going to have a different title."
It’s with Warner Brothers, and the director is Cathy Yan. Who directed a film called Dead Pigs which is a Chinese film. I'm excited. It's, in the superheroes genre but this time it's in the DC universe, not the Marvel universe. Margot Robbie is set to star and I'm excited for that. And then it has a little bit of origin story in it, so it makes it intriguing and it's very early though, so early discussions."
Honestly, it wouldn't be at all surprising if "Harley Quinn" is inserted into the title in some way, especially as she's such a popular character and the apparent lead of this movie. Throw in the fact that there's no Batgirl in this Birds of Prey and a new title would be no bad thing. What do you guys think it'll be called? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
