James Price

Gotham.

So Watkins and the production designer, James Price, they actually looked at German expressionist cinema from the 1930s because they wanted Gotham to feel very overwhelming, these huge buildings, and they basically wanted the city to almost like swallow up the people that were living there.

Which version of Gotham do you think is the best? Tim Burton's, Christopher Nolan's, Matt Reeves, or this one?

tough i mean i never really loved the burton aspect of like the gothic kind of feel.

It's under two hours.

It's a fun introduction to James Gunn's Gotham.

It's neo-noir.

It's really colorful somehow.

Somebody asked whether the plans had changed for Batman since Batman Brave and the Bold.

And obviously that was meant to be Andy Muschietti, who was the Flash director.

James just said, yep.

So that's what we're hoping for.

What did you look to? How did you kind of want to give Gotham its own stamp?

Well, I've got a really brilliant production designer, James Price, who I've worked with a few times.

He did poor things.

He won an Oscar for that after we'd worked together.

I mean, I really should give credit in a large part.

I've got a brilliant production designer, a guy called James Price.

And I've worked with James a few times.

And actually, I've worked with him before he won an Oscar for doing poor things.

Masterpieces is presented in collaboration with Cartier, a natural extension of the Maison's long-standing devotion to the magic and craft of cinema.

Every World and director Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things began on the drawing board of production designer James Price.

Adapted from Alastair Gray's 1992 novel, the film follows Bella Baxter, played by Emma Stone, a young woman brought back to life with the brain of a child by an unconventional scientist, as she runs away to explore the world.

Working alongside co-designer Shona Heath, the pair built a series of vivid stylized worlds for Bella to move through.

And so there's a lot of James in this process.

James Price, who's the brilliant production designer.

And I worked hard to create a Gotham.

And they said that they they really cited a lot of stuff like the UK city of Liverpool and German realism as the architectural basis of the of Gotham.
