Chris Nolan has spoken to The Los Angeles Times about his follow up to The Dark Knight and if he'll do another one or not. He remains predictably coy: "There are two things to be said. One is the emphasis on story. What's the story? Is there a story that's going to keep me emotionally invested for the couple of years that it will take to make another one? That's the overriding question. On a more superficial level, I have to ask the question: How many good third movies in a franchise can people name? (Laughs) At the same time, in taking on the second one, we had the challenge of trying to make a great second movie, and there haven't been too many of those either. It's all about the story really. If the story is there, everything is possible." Well you came up with the story for The Dark Knight, Chris, so come up with another one already. On what film he'll do next he said "After "Batman Begins," I certainly felt like taking on something smaller, but one of the things I got such a thrill from on The Dark Knight was shooting on Imax and creating that massive scale and achieving that larger-than-life quality. So that's a lot of fun. I'm drawn in both directions now. So maybe what I need to do next is a very intimate, small story that happens to be photographed on a ridiculously large scale. Or vice versa (laughs)." An Indie shot on Imax cameras? That's crazy talk... I like it.
