MTV is reporting that Jonah Nolan (Christopher’s brother) has been working on a draft of the screenplay for Batman 3, based on a story by himself, his brother and David Goyer.
At a press junket promoting Nolan’s latest project, “Inception,” the upcoming psychological thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio, the filmmaker told MTV News that he’s already thinking about “Batman 3” — well, sort of. “Yes and no I suppose would be the answer,” he said. “We know we’re aiming for 2012 [as a release date]. That’s been talked about. We’re just working on the script, really. My brother [Jonah Nolan] has been hard at work on it for quite some time. It’s based on a story that myself and David Goyer have written.”
So, for all you Bat-Junkies like myself out there, this is good news that it’s moving forward. And we still have almost two years before it’s supposed to hit the screen, so it doesn’t feel like they’re rushing it too hard.
This also means that credible casting rumours will probably start late this year or early next.
