Cathy Yan to Direct Margot Robbie Harley Quinn Film

4034

Cathy Yan has been tapped to direct a Harley Quinn movie starring Margot Robbie as, well, Harley Quinn. The project is supposed begin filming sometime later this year.

Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn in SUICIDE SQUAD

We’ve been down this road before with this project as SUICIDE SQUAD director David Ayer was originally tapped to direct a GOTHAM CITY SIRENS movie for WB.  There’s a report that this is going to be based on BIRDS OF PREY, but with Harley, it sounds more like GCS than BOP, yes?  I suspect that this film is a different thing altogether.  Also, where does this film when it comes to DC on film and Batman?  Clearly, if a film with Harley Quinn, the Birds of Prey and/or the Gotham City Sirens, it’s pretty-much a “Batman Film,” right?

It’s going to be interesting to see how this project plays out and if it ends up coming to fruition in the end. – Bill “Jett” Ramey

Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
