After a day of work, Christopher Nolan got off work and bought the comic "Return of the Dark Knight". When he returned home, he had supper first, greeted his wife Emma Thomas, then went into the study and studied the comic he had just obtained.

Due to Ronan's suggestions during the day and his intention to adapt the movie, Christopher Nolan read the comics very carefully.

It was early morning when I saw it.

Even though Emma Thomas reminded and urged him several times, Christopher Nolan still insisted on reading the entire comic.

"Aren't you going to rest?" Emma Thomas asked in the study again.

Christopher Nolan shook his head slowly: "Dear, go to bed first, I have some questions to consider clearly."

Emma Thomas knew her husband's habits and quickly left the study.

After drinking a glass of water, Christopher Nolan opened the comic and picked out the key parts and started reading it.

At this time, he fully understood why the producer Ronan, who specifically mentioned "The Return of the Dark Knight", was really a very suitable movie adapted into a dark style.

Robin is dead.

The fifty-year-old Batman has already hung his robe.

Police Chief Gordon is about to retire.

In Gotham City, the city of sin, violent crime on the streets has become increasingly serious.

The society in which Bruce Wayne is in is heading for collapse. The vigilante who has been suppressed for a long time finally broke the shackles he set and broke out of the cocoon.

The Dark Knight returns in the flames of anger.

He was no longer the peak of his time. Even his strong heart could not withstand the continuous battles, but he still faced various pursuers without fear - he refused to accept the result of "the veteran does not die, but just withering."

He had a new generation of Robin - a girl named Carrie Kelly, who proved that she was priceless like previous generations of Robins.

However, their private enforcement of the law has caused countless controversy, and the newly appointed Gotham City Police Chief also ordered his arrest.

Batman confronts both crazy criminals and law-abiding police.

Christopher Nolan slowly closed his eyes, and this superhero comic gave him a feeling: it was not a comic at all, but a gripping crime!

Isn’t this a very serious crime theme to compress those exaggerated superhero plots and settings back to the normal state?

Christopher Nolan unconsciously entered the director mode, looking at the comics with an adapted gaze, and even gradually remembering the background settings of the adapted movie.

It was an extremely dark and painful city.

Years later, the crime in Gotham City became even worse, and the old Batman had to put on his battle robe and fight in isolation and no help.

The loneliness in my twilight years, the panic of crime, the indifference between people, the confrontation with the system, and the persistence in beliefs.

Thinking of this, Christopher Nolan suddenly shook his head, something was wrong!

These are not very right!

Batman in his twilight years...

If you want to film Batman, even if you earn the authorization of Warner Bros. and DC Comics, it will be a rebooted version, a new Batman.

It should be based on the relevant background settings, especially the dark and painful themes and atmosphere, and the story can be re-written.

A brand new story about the origins of Batman, but it is by no means the same as the previous film copyright.

The movie will create a nightmare dark atmosphere, highlighting the protagonist's loneliness, sadness and heaviness.

And this new Batman, dark, cold, withdrawn, and insists on the last line of principles in his heart.

Christopher Nolan's thinking is becoming clearer. For a director, he is about to enter the peak of his creation. As long as his sensitive thinking is touched, it will inspire countless related settings and plots.

In just half a night, even the attitudes of Warner Bros. and DC Comics have not been tested, and Christopher Nolan has set the tone for the adaptation.

Because he found that he could no longer find characters and subjects that were more suitable for dark style than Bruce Wayne

This is the protagonist who endured humiliation in the dark but suppressed his movements.

More importantly, the audience of this character and subject is wide enough!

When it comes to Marvel, everyone will think of Spider-Man at the first time; when it comes to DC, people will instantly jump out of God and this big bat in their underwear!

It is no exaggeration to say that Spider-Man, Batman and Superman are the most popular superheroes in the entire North America and even the Western world.

Christopher Nolan has seen many of the most popular superhero lists released by the media every year. Perhaps Spider-Man, Batman and Superman have different rankings in each ranking, but they always firmly occupy the top three on the list!

His movies were not taken at home to enjoy themselves, nor were they for a small group of viewers.

Christopher Nolan likes big commercial productions, and even now, Michael Bay is his favorite film director.

Batman can guarantee an adequate audience base.

What should I do next? Christopher Nolan began preliminary planning. After completing all the work in "White Night Chase", he formulated a plan and setting for Batman, and then joined forces with Ronan Anderson's Relativity Entertainment to find Warner Bros. and DC Comics...

Ronan Anderson is a producer and should also make relevant preparations. Maybe it can really make Warner Bros. restart the Batman series of movies.

Once you can get the green light, you can even plan a trilogy series.

That night, Christopher Nolan suffered from insomnia.

The next morning, he rushed to Warner Studio and immediately called Ronan. After Ronan arrived, he temporarily put down the little work left in "White Night Chase" and discussed with Ronan for a whole day.

When Ronan saw Christopher Nolan's thoughts had turned to Batman, he was in a very good mood. He promised that as long as he could get the shooting license of Warner Bros. and DC Comics, even if Warner Bros. didn't want to invest a penny, he could be responsible for raising all the production budgets of the project.

"What if we can't get the authorization?" Christopher Nolan was a little worried.

Ronan has already made this mental preparation. After all, he only knows that Christopher Nolan and Legend Pictures in his previous life convinced Warner Bros. and DC Comics, but he knows nothing about what happened in the middle.

Warner Bros. and DC Comics are not without a complete rejection.

"The only famous hero with great hatred at night is Batman." Ronan seemed very calm: "Chris, as long as you finalize the framework and plot, we will never find any alternatives."

Christopher Nolan understood Ronan's meaning. Batman was the first choice when shooting dark-style videos, but he didn't have to hang himself from the Batman tree. After all, the copyright is in the hands of others.

He nodded and said, "Ronan, please pay more attention to the alternative."

"No problem." Ronan responded happily, then looked positive and said, "Chris, we have reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation. I have a suggestion that even if we are facing a behemoth like Warner Brothers, we need to be united to have the possibility of success."

Christopher Nolan nodded slightly and said, "It's really difficult to convince Warner Bros.."

Ronan said calmly: "We need to establish a more stable cooperative relationship to ensure consistency with the outside world."

Some things must be done in business. Now Christopher Nolan has a great conversation with him. Christopher Nolan in his previous life did not have a bad reputation of being untrustworthy, but no one can guarantee the specificity.

A written agreement can avoid many unnecessary risks.

What if Warner Bros. see this project and wants to work with Christopher Nolan, who, under the temptation of a large company, turns to Warner Bros.'s arms?

This may not be possible, but the chances are quite high in places like Hollywood.

Ronan would not be so stupid as to bet on Christopher Nolan's character.

Christopher Nolan is a smart man who can understand Ronan's meaning and said, "No problem, please let me talk to my agent in detail, and I will say hello to him in advance."

Ronan said: "Okay. I'll let Shahai Entertainment people talk."

The ideal situation is to sign directorial contracts for several movies with Christopher Nolan, who has not made his debut.

A typical commercial blockbuster director like Christopher Nolan is undoubtedly a good director in Ronan's eyes.

After discussing some things about the creation of dark style films, Ronan left the office building and went to the studio studio, and went to several crews to watch them.

The pilot series "Grey's Anatomy" will be completed soon and will be piloted on ABC TV in the first half of the year.

The crew of "Hurricane Rescue" is divided into two parts. Director Jeffrey Abrams leads a large group of people to Paris for outdoor scenes, and the assistant director leads a group to stay in the studio to shoot some simple indoor background scenes.

"Summer of Jeans" has also begun filming. Ronan also chatted with Anne Hathaway for a while. Anne Hathaway made an appointment with Ronan to complete the filming of the play, and the two of them will reminisce about the past.

The crew of "Spy Shadows" that had been filming in Europe before has also returned to Los Angeles, and Paul Greengrass's filming has entered the final stage.

In addition, many sequel movies have also begun preparations under the operation of Shahai Entertainment Production Department.

"Human Purge 3" and "Deadly Bend 2" will be filmed in the second half of the year. "Resident Evil 2: Apocalypse" will also enter the preparatory stage this year so that it can catch up with the release schedule in 2003.

At the same time, good news came from Uvy Ball. After Jason Statham signed the contract, other major actors were in place one after another, and "Dungeon Siege" will also start filming this year.

The preparations for "National Enemy" are in contact with Charlize Theron, and South African Diamonds are still hesitating.

Shahai Entertainment's production projects are steadily improving every year, fully reaching the level of a medium-sized production company.
