\"ChristopherNolan\"<\/a>Christopher Nolan is not a number, he’s a free man! Free, at least, from his obligation of directing a big screen version of the cult classic 60s television series The Prisoner<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Australian site CineFools<\/a> caught up with Prisoner<\/strong> producer Barry Mendel, who confirmed that Nolan had left the project, but that they were still working on developing a screenplay with 12 Monkeys<\/strong> scripters David and Janet Peoples.<\/p>\n

This could be good news for those of us waiting for Nolan to return to the Batman<\/strong> franchise to deliver a follow up to last summer’s The Dark Knight<\/strong>. While the director is currently in the midst of shooting Inception, a science-fiction thriller, he has no other commitments once the film is finished, leaving him free to begin work on a new Batman<\/strong> film. Warners is anxious for him to start work on it. Fans are anxious for him to start work on it. So here’s hoping Nolan is equally anxious to dive it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
