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?

Makes sense that it's getting a new title, since it's not Birds of Prey...

@Pantherpool - My problems with the film might actually be reduced somewhat by a title change. As a comic fan its irksome to have it called Birds of Prey. A rename would be good.

@Pantherpool - Yeah, they'll change it to something like "Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey"

@Pantherpool -
He could be talking about the shooting/production name.
Anyhow, let's get this show on the road!

Make perfect sense since it’s definitely not actually the Birds of Prey. Hopefully they don’t ruin Black Canary too much.

@TheUnworthyThor -
It actually is Birds of Prey.

@Battabing - From it’s very inception the Birds of Prey were the team-up of Barbara Gordon and Black Canary. Making a movie without one of them would be like making a Heroes for Hire movie without Luke Cage or Iron Fist. And don’t get me started on those character descriptions.

I was watching the second episode of Titans and there's a part in which it hit me that there are four birds--Robin, Raven, Hawk and Dove--in a room.

What's with DC and bird heroes lol

I'm still waiting for them to change Jurnee Smollett-Bell's character to Poison Ivy and turn this into Gothem City Sirens

Black Canary is the only interesting character off that team, and she belongs with the JLA...ah forgot there’s no JLA. 😂
this is why a “reboot” is necessary.

It's probably going to be "Harley Quinn and The Birds of Prey", like the current book is "Batgirl and The Birds of Prey" highlighting the bigger name on the team, probably use 2 different fonts for each part.
