Dark Knight Script Being Written...Now?


According to IESB.net, "The IESB was tipped off this week that the script for the third Batman film is already underway.

IESB was told by an extremely reliable source that the project has already gone into the writing stage with Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan and David Goyer all hard at work.

When Jeff Otto, representing IESB, got the chance to talk to producer Chuck Roven today, he jumped at the chance to confirm...of course Roven wasn't going to say much and was very evasive but he did do a good song and dance performance,

IESB: We've been told that Jonathan, Chris and David are working on the new Batman script. Do you know the direction they’re going or do you wait for them to formulate something more complete before you get involved?

Chuck Roven: The creative driver of the project at this point is Chris. There’s really nothing more for me to say about that. When he feels that he’s got something to talk about, then we’ll be able to talk about it.

IESB: I know you can’t tell us who the villain or villains are, but do you personally know?

[Big smile and a laugh] CR: I really don’t want to talk about that project right now."

So what other news is there? It is really hard to find or even guess. Can this really even be counted as truth? No matter how much IESB says the source is reliable, an unnamed source is still one unwilling to give his or her identity, and thus, might not be give information that is worth an identity.
While Chris Nolan has not said anything about coming back as director, news should be coming out in the forthcoming months (especially if he has been working on a new script in secret).
More 'factual' news to come! Catch ya' later!
