Into the Knight[]
As Christopher Nolan had finished his critically acclaimed Dark Knight Series, Coppola took the initiative to start something he'd wanted to do for years: A new Batman reboot. Growing up a fan of Batman, Coppola decided to take his film editing skills to make a new Batman series. He began writing the story for Into the Knight, along the way recruiting various film workers that have participated in Batman films. He also brought his protegee and relative, Alexandre Morel into the mix on stroyboard writing. The movie was released on October 28, 2013 after being postponed after a set fire back in 2010, which pushed filming back into late 2011-ealry 2012. Casting for the movie underwent many changes, especially with the role of Bruce Wayne, who was originally set to be portrayed by Eric Bana. But, due to prior disagreements and other opportunities, Bana left, resulting in Coppola finding Andrew Lincoln to star in the film.
