Batman's Nolan to direct 'Inception'

Rex Features

The Dark Knight's Christopher Nolan will write and direct science-fiction action film Inception for Warner Bros.

The movie is described by The Hollywood Reporter as "a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind".

The British filmmaker will steer Inception before moving on to his third Batman feature. He is looking to begin production this summer for a summer 2010 release.

Warner Bros president Jeff Robinov expressed his delight at collaborating with Nolan again, calling him "a visionary filmmaker who continually raises the bar with each movie he makes".

Nolan is also attached to a big screen remake of The Prisoner.
