EXCLUSIVE NEWS.
When asked about the reason for his visit to México City, he said he came to finish his new script, explaining that when he's writing he wants to be as far as he can from any distraction. Jokingly, he said México City seemed far enough. Anyway, since then, rumours have been circulating that he was scouting for some locations for his next film.
About that "untitled new project", he said "We call it science fiction but it's really not science fiction. It's probably more towards fantasy. Which fantasy I think it's sort of a mix of science fiction and a period piece... (He laughs)"
About Batman, working with Warner Bros. and the possibility of becoming "too mainstream", he answered "I think my Batman will be a little intense. It's not going to be pure entertainment. We will totally work on that level where is very entertaining but it's also going to be very very intense."
