The Dark Knight Rises IESB Exclusive: Third BATMAN Film in Script Stage

[rashad]

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.

We've double checked and we are definitely hearing the script is being written as we speak.

It's common knowledge THE DARK KNIGHT was one of the biggest films of the decade with nominations coming in left and right, a third film in the franchise is a slam-dunk.

We'll keep our ears to the ground on this one!

Wait, is this source like the one that claimed that Eddie Murphy would be playing The Riddler? It's hard to tell what's true and what's not.

 

[Crook]

IESB is usually on-the-know about these things. Great if it's true. Basically guarantees us a third film, because it's all in Nolan's hands. Lord knows WB has at least 200 million in their pockets willing to be signed and given.

God no, that was the Sun article your talking about. Never trust anything they post. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article2048300.ece

IESB is a pretty reliable source for the most part.

 

[Hobodeluxe]

MTV ran that IESB blurb too. Along with this little bit about Liam Neeson

roflmao! That's where that rumor came from?!!!

 

[Doctor Jones]

YES!!!!

Finally. But I heard out of the three writers, only two are signed on. Probably Jonah and David.

It's on b**ches!!!

 

[DarkKnight245]

Nice to hear that the script writing is underway. I'm sure we will get an annoucement for Batman 3 later this year.

 

[TheBatman072]

**** yes!!


I am SO goddamn bored! I need sweet Batman movie pre, post and production to keep me going!


It's in my blood!

It's bull.

 

[TheBatman072]

It's bull.

How so?

 

[Doctor Jones]

It's not dude. IESB has been a very reliable source over the past years.

Weren't they one of the first to address Ledger as the Joker even before it was official?

 

[TheBatman072]

It's not dude. IESB has been a very reliable source over the past years.

Weren't they one of the first to address Ledger as the Joker even before it was official?

No, I don't believe him. I'm just curious as to why he thinks so.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

Yes!

 

[Scarlet Spider]

It's not dude. IESB has been a very reliable source over the past years.

No, that was Latino Review.

Regardless, this info seems legit. I always thought they were alot further in the writing process than they were letting on.

Jonah already had a completed first draft of TDK, around this time three years ago. Even before he was announced as the writer in the trades.

 

[Anita18]

Nice to hear that the script writing is underway. I'm sure we will get an annoucement for Batman 3 later this year.

Yup. And general updates like this will always be more reliable than rumors like Eddie Murphy being the Riddler.

 

[TheBatman072]

God I am so excited.


I can't wait for pre production.

 

[The Chris]

bring it man. BRING THIS MOVIE ON!

 

[mclay18]

Well, Nolan did say he was doing notes for a possible third flick, so maybe he finally cracked a full story in the meantime.

If all three of them are working on BB3, they'll probably crank out a draft for WB to look at in a few months. If they already have an outline, then all of them can work on different sequences and perhaps we'll get news of the film's title (and production) around summertime? That's when Warners announced the film production on TDK.

 

[souvlaki]

Did Nolan start working on the script for Dark Knight before starting production for the Prestige? If they are already working on the script I wonder if Nolan will do something in-between or go right back to work on the next Batman film.

 

[Dark Sentinel]

mmm, NOW we're talkin'

Nolan is a god among directors, the man simply doesn't know how to make a bad movie..i'm already anticipating a new slew of viral sites.. januscosmetics.com anyone?

 

[chintai80]

this isn't much of a surprise. let's just wait n see what they have to annouce later this year.

 

[namtaB]

Precisely. I'm not interested in info that they are writing since I considered it a given. I'm more interested in who the villains are going to be. That is real news. This info is equivalent to saying the sky is blue.

 

[Rincewind]

Yeah, given the enormous success of TDK, it's not a surprise that there would be another movie.

Still, it's nice that the project is moving along. But I won't expect any big news at least until summer.

Well, it's surprising since C. Nolan isn't directing anything in between TDK and the untitled third flick as opposed to doing "The Prestige" between BB and TDK.
