<p>Filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, the directors of the recently shelved `Batgirl` film, have revealed that they don`t have any footage saved but remain hopeful that the film will be completed and released one day.<br />
<br />
El Arbi and Fallah provided further information about Warner Bros` shocking decision to cancel the Batgirl movie, which was in the post-production stage, in a new interview for the SKRIPT YouTube channel, as per the Hollywood Reporter.<br />
<br />
El Arbi, speaking in French, said they were in the middle of the editing process when executives from Warner told them the film was being shelved. "The guys from Warner told us, `it was not a talent problem from our part or the actress, or even the quality of the movie,`" said El Arbi.El Arbi continued, "They told us it was a strategic change. There was new management, and they wanted to save some money."<br />
<br />
According to the Hollywood Reporter, David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros Discovery, decided to suspend the project in order to take a tax write-off on the $90 million movie, making Batgirl a victim of his new financial strategy.<br />
<br />
In earlier reports, the pair were said to be in Morocco for El Arbi`s wedding when they heard the news of Batgirl's shelving.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Fallah revealed how he felt, "First, when I heard the news, I was shocked, I didn`t know how to react. I wanted to break stuff, cry, even laugh. I was like, `this is not happening.`"<br />
<br />
Fallah added that they were surprised by the response from the public following the film`s shelved release, in particular the trending hashtag #ReleaseBatgirl on social media.<br />
<br />
"Seeing all the support on Twitter, and even from big directors Edgar Wright and James Gunn, who sent us supportive messages, it was comforting."<br />
<br />
"After all we make movies for the audience, not for us," El Arbi said. "We just hope that one day the movie will be released, for the cast and crew. We are a small family." Said Fallah, "We hope, Inshallah, it will happen."<br />
<br />
El Arbi and Fallah said that a lot would have to occur before that would even be a possibility when the interviewer asked if they thought that Batgirl will experience a resurrection similar to Zack Snyder`s version of Justice League.<br />
<br />
"Before it`s released one day, there would be a lot of work still to do. Just like the Snyder Cut," El Arbi said, alluding to how Warner Bros spent a further $70 million on Zack Snyder`s Justice League to finish the VFX, the score and shoot new scenes before it was released on HBO Max.</p>

'Batgirl' directors reveal they have no footage of film, still hope for release

<p>The upcoming DC movie 'Batgirl' has reportedly been delayed until 2023. The news comes from a release schedule from Warner Bros to UK media. It had 'Batgirl' on the list of 2023 theatrical releases. Earlier, the movie was going to release on HBO Max sometime in 2022. The change might be due to the merger of Warner Bros, the parent company of DC Films, and Discovery in a company called Warner Bros Discovery. Several upcoming projects have been affected due to new higher-ups.</p>

<p>The movie, starring Leslie Grace as the titular superhero, is directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah and marks the first live-action appearance of the character in the 21st century. Real-name Barbara Gordon, she is the daughter of Bruce Wayne or Batman's greatest ally, Commissioner James Gordon, and becomes a superhero.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It should be mentioned that other characters have also assumed the mantle of Batgirl, but Barbara remains the most popular by far.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film also brings back JK Simmons in the role of Barbara's father Gordon. Simmons, who is otherwise best known for playing the irascible editor of Daily Bugle J Jonah Jameson in 'Spider-Man' movies, played Gordon first (and so far, only) time in 2017's 'Justice League' and its director's cut, 'Zack Snyder's Justice League'.&nbsp;Jacob Scipio and Brendan Fraser also star.</p>

<p>Also back is Michael Keaton's classic Batman from 1989's 'Batman' and 1992's 'Batman Returns'. He is expected to play a mentorship role for Barbara. Keaton will reprise the role in 'The Flash' too, which is set to release on June 23, 2023.</p>

<p>Director duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (of 'Bad Boys for Life' fame) will be helming the project and 'Bumblebee' writer Christina Hodson (who's also written 'Birds of Prey' and 'The Flash' in the past) has penned the script for this project.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />

Leslie Grace launched her acting career as Nina, a local girl turned Stanford student, in 'In the Heights'. But Grace is more popular in the music world and has received three Latin Grammy Award nominations.</p>
