With 'Black Adam' we're trying to do something bit inventive: Lawrence Sher

Cinematographer Lawrence Sher has revealed that with the upcoming DC film "Black Adam", featuring Dwayne Johnson as the titular anti-hero, the team is trying to reshape comic book movies. Sher, who previously worked on the Todd Phillips-directed "Joker", said the makers want to do something innovative with the film. 

Release scheduled for December 2021

"'One of my interests about it is to continue to sort of - and we've talked about it with Dwayne and ... DC - can we continue to sort of reshaping what a comic book movie is?

''Like yes, of course, you want it to be entertaining and it has to make a decent amount of money so it can't live in such a fringe place that it doesn't bring people in, but can we do something inventive? So that's the goal is to continue to try to do something a bit inventive with it," the cinematographer told Collider.com.
