Nolan, Goyer Talk Sequel
Author: Jett (http://batman-on-film.com/bio_jett.html)
Thursday, May 4, 2006 - 5:50 AM CENTRAL TIME: Chris Nolan and David Goyer were both on hand for the recent Saturn Awards (see yesterday's update) and talked a little BEGINS sequel to IESB.NET (http://www.iesb.net/warnerbros2006/050306.php). Nolan and Goyer confirmed that they've come up with a good story for the next Bat-film. Besides that, they were very vague -- In fact, Nolan "jokingly" warned Goyer not to say a thing.
There has been a bit of speculation that Goyer wouldn't have anything to do with The Sequel since Nolan's brother Jonah is writing the screenplay. However, BOF has said not to read too much into that and Goyer would be involved (The story is based on an outline by both Goyer and Nolan).
Click on the link to check out the video interview. Thanks to "Kenneth" for the lead...
According to ASKMEN.COM (http://www.askmen.com/toys/top_10_100/123_top_10_list.html), the BATMAN BEGINS sequel is the 9th most anticipated upcoming movie sequel. Thanks to "Farrah" for sending the story... This just in: the BATMAN BEGINS sequel is ranked as the #1 most anticipated sequel by BATMAN ON FILM.
Check out the video, there's not much said, but it gives us an idea of where we're at with the sequel. Hopefully as soon as post-production is done on Prestige (which looks like an awesome movie) we'll start to see more news on Batman.

Yeah, me too. Of the two he's probably the one with the most knowledge of the comics, so he'll kame sure that things aren't changed too much.
Somebody on the board mentioned that he held back Nolan a few times with Begins because he was straying a bit from the comics, but I don't know if that's true or not.

Something that interested me from that video was what Nolan said at the end. He said he hadn't even thought much about casting (in reply to being asked about Josh Lucas). I wonder if that's true, or if he was just trying to avoid talking about the sequel.

Well he is making non-Batman film so I knew that he would say that when the reporter asked about Batman sequel.

It's great to hear that they're working on it and they have it on their mind. And it made me laugh. Goyer looked like a six-year old child on a game show.
An exicting story, eh? Sounds interesting.
Here's hoping for an awesome Flash movie.

I'll throw a penny in the well, too. Goyer has the talent, let's just hope that he doesn't take the feel of Blade III and put it into Flash.

Yeah, Goyer is still very much involved. They have a story, now they´re waiting for Nolan to finish The Prestige. He should get fully involved with the sequel come late summer or early fall.

I bet he was just saying that. There have been reports that during the lunch breaks on the Prestige that he has sat down with Bale and Caine a number of times discussing BB2. So, I am sure he has thought about it, but he probably won't really focus on it until after the Prestige.
So Goyer is still on board? IMO that's good news. I think he helps keep it grounded in the comics while Nolan provides the fresh ideas. But does this mean Nolan's brother is out?

Goyer said "we all involved" that means Nolan's brother will be in it as well

Great news. Good to hear Goyer still involve with this. I know many call him a hack, but they're forgetting he is one of the big factor in making Batman movie good again with BB & making it the best Batman movie (so far for now). And the fact he try to make sure Nolan don't stray too far from the comic. Can't wait to hear what the plot going to be for BB 2. :)

Never thought Goyer would miss a chance to be involved with a Batman movie (which is said was always a childhood dream).

Great news. I'm honestly glad to see that Goyer is still around the film's progression even though Nolan's brother is currently writing the screen play. After Prestige is near completion, we should be getting alot more on what the film will have. This update and the "good story" hint is enough, for now. So far, the sequel is heading in the right direction.
2 Nolan's and a Goyer. A winning combination for the sequel!
Agreed.
Yes!

After seeing that, my blood pressure has gone down. lol. Nice to see Goyer knows a LOT about whats going on, which is why I assume Nolan was yelling from the background "Don't tell them anything!".
Flash movie = oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. If anyone can write those one liners.......it's Goyer. And reynolds as Flash = Always my pick.
But is it just me, or did Goyer look, oh idk, pissed about something?

yeah, Goyer did seem pissed about something! I thought it was becuase Nolan interupted him, but then it seemed he didn't even want to do the interview, very wierd.

Same here. I expect a lot of info near the realease of the Prestige. One of the best ways to get publicity for the movie would be bombard headlines with "Joker has been cast by Cristopher Nolan who has a new movie coming out in 2 weeks" and you know every interview him and Bale do for the Prestige in the coming months there will constantly be questions about BB2.

It seems to me that that is already happening now, just look at this new interview posted. They were there for the award ceremony, and one of the question already was what Nolan and company had planned for the sequel. Sure they didn't reveal anything to suprising, except for the "good story" metioning. But that's only because there are obivously plenty of surprises that will be announced within the next few months, which is a very good thing.

Ah, LOL. This reminds me of the way people went mental when George Lucas announced the Star Wars prequels would be coming out three years apart. Before Episode I was even out, people were going, "OMG! Who should continue it if Lucas dies?!?!" "OMG! What if John Williams dies? Who should write the music? JAMES HORNER!!!" "OMG! I am such a lame ass. I will never get laid."
The names change but the script sounds the same to me.
