It’s been twenty years since British director Adrian Lyne directed a film, which was Unfaithful in 2002.

Musings on Robert Pattinson casting + Matt Reeves’ noir vision for The Batman
It seems it hasn't been that long ago that I was blogging about casting for a Batman movie when Ben Affleck was cast. If some of you read it, I was actually lamenting about Affleck's casting then, but later on I came around and actually enjoyed his performance. Now, Christian Bale remains my favorite Batman …
