Christopher Nolan Directing Inception Next

February 11, 2009

Christopher Nolan has set up his next project with Warner Bros., an original screenplay he wrote called Inception. The "Dark Knight" director hopes to shoot the sci-fi action film in the summer for a release during summer 2010.

Nolan will produce with partner Emma Thomas, who served as a producer on The Dark Knight.

"Chris Nolan is a visionary filmmaker who continually raises the bar with each movie he makes," Warner Bros. Pictures Group president Jeff Robinov said. "We are thrilled to be collaborating again with him and Emma on this exciting new motion picture."

Inception is described as "a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind."

This pushes back any potential filming on a third Batman film, but three years -- and The Prestige -- passed between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Nolan has also long been attached to direct a big-screen adaptation of the British TV series "The Prisoner" for producer Scott Stuber at Universal.

You can almost guarantee that part of the deal for Inception was that Chris would come back afterwards to direct a third Batman flick.

Bring it on I say... The Prestige was brilliant so I'd love to see what Chris does with a 'sci-fi actioner'.

I think that it is ok....because if he is pushed to do another batman so fast it will be a deception...so fast in a short time = disaster (that's my opinion)

If Nolan does "The Prisoner", it will rock.

Great news in the sense that he isn't rushing to start work on the third batman movie. God knows that we don't need another Spiderman 3. Inception sounds very interesting.

I trust Nolan to do the right thing. I think taking a break from the batman franchise is definitly a good idea... dont rush Batman, cause thats how things get messed up... note the Saw franchise. Plus i love all of Nolans movies so far so this is a plus for me, im psyched to see a new one thats not Batman. Even though i cant wait for the new Batman, i do really wanna see some of Nolans other kinda stuff.
