Christopher Nolan has revealed some details about his latest project Superman.
The director is acting as a mentor on the movie as his Dark Knight scribe David Goyer pens the script.
He told the Los Angeles Times: "It’s very exciting, we have a fantastic story. And we feel we can do it right. We know the milieu, if you will, we know the genre and how to get it done right [it] is a way of approaching the story I’ve never seen before that makes it incredibly exciting.
"I wanted to get [producer and wife] Emma and I involved in shepherding the project right away and getting it to the studio and getting it going in an exciting way.
"We’re approaching it in a not dissimilar way [to the Batman films] in terms of trying to find an incredible story in a way that audiences can engage with it the way they engage with contemporary action films."
And it looks like a third Batman movie could well be in the pipeline for the filmmaker, despite rumours that he wouldn't return to the franchise, as he revealed that his brother is currently working on the script.
"The key thing that makes the third film a great possibility for us is that we want to finish our story. And in viewing it as the finishing of a story rather than infinitely blowing up the balloon and expanding the story.
"I’m very excited about the end of the film, the conclusion, and what we’ve done with the characters. My brother has come up with some pretty exciting stuff. Unlike the comics, these thing don’t go on forever in film and viewing it as a story with an end is useful.
"Viewing it as an ending, that sets you very much on the right track about the appropriate conclusion and the essence of what tale we’re telling.
