Gary Oldman Claims Next ‘Batman’ Starts Shooting Next Year

Word coming out of Comic Con is that Gary Oldman made the blockbuster announcement at the ‘Book of Eli’ panel that the next film in the ‘Batman’ franchise will begin lensing as early as next year.

I think the next Batman is next year. We start shooting next year. You didn’t hear that from me.

Oldman’s announcement came after a fan asked when the follow-up to ‘The Dark Knight’ might be expected.   This calls to mind the news that came months ago when Michael Caine claimed the film was going forward.   Of course, there is nothing to say Christopher Nolan might come out tomorrow and say Oldman was just appeasing the mass audience on hand in San Diego.

While this bit of news could become nothing more than whispers of a rumor, you can’t ignore when someone like Oldman who is tied to the franchise begins talking about it.   Those on hand claim Oldman was not joking in any way.

We knew it was going to happen eventually, but today comes official word that ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 4’ (the name is sure to change very soon) will begin shooting this coming Spring with a tentative release date in 2011.  The news comes the San Diego Comic Con floor as Coming Soon.net caught up with Oren Aviv, Disney’s Head of Production.

We’re going to shoot ‘Pirates 4’ in April and May of next year.  We are going to release it hopefully in 2011 is the plan.

Aviv also went on to say that hopes are this new film will be the beginning of a new trilogy, the story is likely to scale back since it can’t get any bigger, and there is a lot to the Captain Jack Sparrow back story that we haven’t seen yet.  Aviv did not indicate whether or not director Gore Verbinski would be returning.
