Christopher Nolan, Superman: Man Of Steel | featured news

The "300" helmer has been chosen to direct the new Superman movie, which Christopher Nolan is producing for Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.

Empire magazine talked to Christopher Nolan, whose new film Inception opens July 16, and got some great quotes from the helmer on the next Batman movie , coming July 20, 2012, and next Superman movie, targeted for a holiday 2012 release.

In possibly one of the biggest superhero movie shockers since the last one--when was the Spider-Man reboot, three weeks ago?-- Deadline Hollywood is now reporting that The Dark Knight and Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan has been assigned the potentially thankless task of being the latest filmmaker assigned by Warner Bros. to try to save the "Superman" franchise, in this case in a mentoring capacity to figure out the best way to proceed.
