Black AdamĀ is finally happening. Starring Dwayne Johnson, Jungle Cruise director Jaume Collet-Serra will helm the upcoming DC film. Filming is set to begin filming this summer and pre-production is in its early stages. We, as the viewers; want to know more of course and luckily cinematographer Lawrence Sher has some details for us:
āThe good news is we donāt shoot until July. So Iām just getting into the research and development phase of discovering how it will look. Itās super important to me because every time I set off to make a movie or a new project, I always feel as if I want it to be better than the last thing I worked on. Iām really excited about Black Adam because itās different than Joker in that itās slightly more traditional insomuch as itās really drawing from the comics.ā
Sher was the cinematographer for Joker, which is nominated for several Oscars, so this is good news when it comes to who you want involved in an anticipated film like Black Adam. Sher is also doing his homework ā saying he has a stack of Black Adam comic books. He knows how much fans want this movie and says that Johnson and Collet-Serra are āaiming highā:
āI know with Jaume and myself and with Dwayne, we do want to reinvent something. But when you try to reinvent something and try to push it to the next level, it takes a bit of brainwork to get there. You have to think, āHow do you crack the code of whatās going to be next?ā Iām still in the code-cracking mode on this one. But I have a little time. I want it to be something singular and feel wholly original within the genre. Weāve talked about that.ā
Black Adam was written by Adam Sztykiel and will hit theaters on December 22, 2021.
