Nolan "Excited" About New Superman Film

With a rumoured Justice League film and Batman and Superman films already confirmed, could Christopher Nolan be turning into the definitive superheroes director/producer?

Speaking to the LA Times, the British Hollywood favourite said of the new Superman film, “It’s very exciting, we have a fantastic story. And we feel we can do it right. We know the milieu, if you will; we know the genre and how to get it done right”.

And so he should. Nolan produced and directed the critically acclaimed “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight”, which when combined pulled in more than $1.3 billion globally. Since Nolan was approached to produce the new Superman film, internet speculation and gossip have been rife, but a tight lipped Nolan, wisely keeps his opinions to himself.

However Nolan did say this of his reported Superman script-writer, David Goyer (writer extraordinaire if we do say so ourselves; Blade, Batman Begins) “He basically told me, ‘I have this thought about how you would approach Superman. I immediately got it, loved it and thought: That is a way of approaching the story I’ve never seen before and it makes it incredibly exciting.”

Excellent. Nolan's excited, we're excited, are you excited? Reckon Nolan's stylised cinematography will mesh well with the Superman brand? Well if he can do it with Batman (especially after the Batman & Robin debacle)...
