Christopher Nolan No Longer A "Prisoner"
Wed, August 19, 2009 
"Sign right there and your soul officially belongs to me, Christian."The good folks over at CineFOOLS got the word straight from producer Barry Mendel: "Chris Nolan has dropped out of it."
He's referring to The Prisoner, a film adaptation of the 1960s UK series. If you've seen an episode, you can clearly see the influence it's had on Nolan's work. The project was supposed to be Nolan's follow-up to The Dark Knight. It was announced while he was still up to his eyeballs filming his Batman Begins sequel.
Of course, the fact that Nolan opted to make Inception his next film instead (which is filming as we speak) and AMC recently completed their own Prisoner mini-series makes this announcment not surprisingly in the slightest.
Cut to Internet nerds giving the following reaction to this news-items. That is if they haven't already:
"Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Does that mean Nolan left so he can do Batman III?!?! *Nerdgasm!*
