00:00Here are today's top stories. First, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that The Batman
00:03has pressed pause on production in London after star Robert Pattinson tested positive for COVID-19.
00:10Warner Bros. would not comment specifically on the individual who tested positive on set.
00:15A Warner Bros. spokesperson said in a statement,
00:17A member of the Batman production has tested positive for COVID-19
00:20and is isolating in accordance with established protocols. Filming is temporarily paused.
00:25Filming had recently resumed after its shutdown in March amid the coronavirus pandemic which
00:30closed productions worldwide. The first trailer for The Batman debuted last month at DC Fandome
00:35to strong reactions. Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson shared a video on Instagram Wednesday to reveal
00:49that he, his wife, and two youngest daughters also tested positive for COVID-19. However,
00:54he assured fans they are no longer contagious after a three-week battle. THR's Neha Joy has more.
01:00The actor revealed they contracted the virus after being around family friends.
01:04And I can tell you that this has been one of the most challenging and difficult things we have
01:10ever had to endure as a family. He went on to explain that testing positive for the virus is
01:15much different than overcoming nasty injuries, being evicted, or being broke, which he says he
01:20has faced more than a few times. He explained that battling the virus has been more personal.
01:25My number one priority is to always protect my family and protect my children, my loved ones.
01:31And Bond is back. After No Time to Die was unexpectedly pushed from its April launch date
01:36due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Universal has released a new trailer ahead of the film's now-delayed November
01:41release. Neha has more on that story too. In a second explosive trailer landing some 10 months
01:46after the first was unveiled in December of 2019, Daniel Craig's final stint as the famed 007 sees
01:52him up to his usual antics. Crashing motorbikes over ancient Italian towns, firing machine guns
01:57that spring out of his Aston Martin headlamps, and discussing the imperative need to, once again,
02:02save the world. The trailer shows more of Rami Malek's new facially scarred baddie,
02:07reportedly out for revenge, and introduces fellow newcomers Ana de Armas,
02:10a high-kicking operative, and Lashawna Lynch as the new 00. For more on all these stories,
