The all new Batmobile at Warner Bros. Movie World

You hope at the premiere that it looks like what you want. And I think for me, as a designer, we're on the edge, the verge of this tipping point where in the past, we've designed, and we can illustrate, and they'll put up a green screen and the film wraps, then the designer goes away and then the post-production comes in, and they fill in the blanks. You mentioned CGI, how has production design changed with the modern CGI that is now available to you? For example, are you building a lot less and then using way more CGI extensions and people don't realize it?ĬHINLUND: I think for me, we built huge sets on The Batman. You've been doing production design for, I believe 20 years now, and you've been in the industry even longer.

I think this car actually did it and I hope the fans feel that.Ībsolutely. So I think we're all so used to seeing CG wizardry. To me, one of the things I'm most proud of is not only did we design a car, but we built a car that actually did all those jumps and burnouts and spin outs and everything you see, there was very little CG enhancement or any of that sort of thing, mostly there just for safety and things like that. I think on the design side, I think just that the car actually did its thing. So on that level, I think he deserves the cape. Damn, what a gentleman and what a hard worker. How would we deliver something that felt new and a place to the world that we hadn't explored before, but also felt like true to the comic? I think it was quite intimidating, but that's where Matt's genius comes in.įrom your perspective on the making of the movie, what do you think Batman fans would be surprised to learn in terms of the behind the scenes in your area of expertise?ĬHINLUND: I think that Rob Pattinson is an incredibly nice guy. Can you talk about the genesis back when you were first talking to Matt about what he's looking for and what you wanted to put on screen?ĬHINLUND: I think we knew that while we were thrilled to be involved in The Batman, we were also both sort of looking at each other, like where's the space? I mean, there are so many iterations of Gotham that have come before us and they're all so amazing. Gil Colson, Jayme Lawson as mayoral candidate Bella Reál, and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth.ĬOLLIDER: So I want to start with congratulations.
