Nolan hanging up 'Batman' cape?
By WENN.COM
Christopher Nolan has fuelled speculation the next Batman movie will be
his last by confirming the new film will be a conclusion to the Caped
Crusader's story.
The moviemaker revived the Batman franchise with Christian Bale taking the
lead role in Batman Begins in 2005 and returned for 2008's The Dark
Knight. He is now preparing to take charge of his third movie in the
series which will complete his trilogy.
And although Nolan admits his screenwriter brother, Jonathan Nolan, is
struggling to write the script, he's looking forward to concluding the
movie series.
He tells the Los Angeles Times, (Jonathan is) now doing the hard work. My
brother is writing a script for me and we'll wait to see how it turns
out... He's struggling to put it together into the epic story that you
want it to be.
Without getting into specifics, 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. We have a great ensemble, that's one
of the attractions of doing another film, since we've been having a great
time for years.
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 things 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. And it harkens back
to that priority of trying to find the reality in these fantastic stories.
That's what we do.
