Therefore, if say Robert Pattinson reunites with Robert Eggers for an indie following The Batman, then that project will get some extra shine by being able to say ‘starring The Batman’s Robert Pattinson.’
As Batman, Robert Pattinson will have increased visibility and will be more popular than he’s ever been, even in the Twilight films.
It’s solid reasoning from Robert Eggers.
Stars may not draw at the box office the way they once did, it’s all about brands now, but it definitely doesn’t hurt an indie when a talented big name actor is involved.
