The UK has announced blockbusters like The Batman can re-start shooting as soon as July providing safety measures are met.
Since the pandemic hit, films all across the world have had to halt production. Some films, like The Batman were in the middle of shooting in the UK but now, thanks to new governmental guidelines, things can resume.
The Guardian is reporting that if guidelines are met, shooting for films like The Batman and Fantastic Beasts could get back underway as soon as July: “The guidelines, drawn up by the British Film Commission and the British Film Institute, include rules on physical distancing, safety training and temperature tests.
“The document has been signed off by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), Public Health England and the Health and Safety Executive. However, it will still be up to each individual production to decide how, and when, to restart filming.”
