According to reports from several US film portals, the “Batgirl” film, which has already been shot, will not be released in cinemas or by a streaming service. The Warner Bros. studio rejected the comic book adaptation, reported “Variety”, “Hollywood Reporter” and other US media on Tuesday (local time) in unison. The film industry was surprised by this step, wrote “Variety”. It almost never happens that a studio simply stops a film that has already been shot.
The $70 million production, which was last in the post-production phase, was expected on the HBO Max streaming service at the end of this year. Leading actress Leslie Grace (27, “In the Heights”) posted a film photo of herself in a Batgirl costume on Instagram in January. The cast also includes “Batman” star Michael Keaton, JK Simmons and Brendan Fraser. The superheroine film was directed by the Belgian director duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (“Bad Boys for Life”).
