In the afternoon, Denis Villeneuve visited Davis Studio.
The Canadian director had signed with "Prince of Thieves" two months earlier and had been preparing for the shoot with Graham King since then.
"Preparations are going smoothly; Graham has already led a team to Boston," said Villeneuve. His main purpose for visiting Martin today was not to report back on the progress of the crew: "Have you scheduled everything on your side? Martin, I need a definite timetable so I can plan the shoot according to your availability."
Martin asked directly, "Based on the preparations, when will the shooting start?"
Villeneuve replied, "Under normal circumstances, we would start in June. The shooting could last from 45 to 60 days because we need to shoot a lot of street scenes, which introduces some uncertainty."
For June, July, and August, Martin had planned to reserve these three months for Nolan's project, as per the original plan.
