Nolan's Next Not One of Those Batmen
Variety reports Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan will begin production on a new film this summer, but, strangely, the announcement comes without any mention of a Batman character:
In a whopping seven-figure buy, Warner Bros. has nabbed "Inception," a script written by Christopher Nolan as his next directing vehicle.Deal allows WB to keep the director of its 2008 top-grosser "The Dark Knight" in the studio fold and gives WB a big film for summer 2010.
Nolan will begin production this summer on the project that Warner describes as a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.
What? I don't understand. Like Nolan would rather work on a personal project than a franchise that's been built up so beyond his reach that he'll probably never be able to make an entirely satisfactory sequel? Fair enough, Chris, we've all wanted to explore the architecture of the mind, but don't be surprised when you read that you've replaced Christian Bale with a trained dog. Given enough time to invent rumors, the internet will say everything.
