We’ve all seen the rumors about The Dark Knight sequel: Director Christopher Nolan has signed on. Pre-production will begin in February. The villain will be played by Johnny Depp. Or Angelina Jolie. Or maybe Cher.
Well, forget all you’ve read. It’s wrong.
“It’s all B.S.,” The Dark Knight screenwriter David S. Goyer tells MTV’s Splash Page. “All of it.
He goes on to say that he hasn’t even officially discussed the third film with Nolan, who’s “taking a long, long vacation.”
“We have mused here and there [but] I mean Chris is pretty much a one movie at a time kind of guy,” Goyer continues. “I wish I could tell you more. There really isn’t anything to tell.”

Which is rather odd. Considering how much “viral marketing” went on with those websites set in the ficton of the two movies during the months leading up to The Dark Knight, I find myself wondering how much lead time they’re going to need to set the stage for the next one. And make no mistake, the spin-off websites staged as if they were in the world of the characters of these movies will be Expected. Capitalization intended.

I am going to shout it till I’m blue in the face. If they’re going to go for a “younger, hipper” Penguin in the sequel, there’s no one better than Sean “Samwise” Astin.

They’re not going for anything in the sequel because there’s no script or director.
