I have got exclusive info for you on Batman: Intimidation Game. I had the chance to do a Q&A with the wonderful cinematographer Wally Pfister about the project.
I asked him about his involvement in the project. He started of by saying: āThe project is very confidential, and Iām not able to say muchā¦.ā He still has some interesting things to say though.
Q: Has director Chris Nolan approached you to work on Batman: Intimidation Game?

WP: āProduction Designer, NATHAN CROWLEY (āINSOMNIAā) is also on board as well as Producer, EMMA THOMAS (āINSOMNIAā, āMEMENTOā, āFOLLOWINGā).ā
Q: Are you a Batman fan? If so, can you tell me what makes him so special? Which of the 4 Bat-films did you like and why?
