Screenwriting Tidbits: Batman 3, Puss in Boots and The Flash
Posted on Thursday, January 29th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
IESB claims that Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan and David Goyer are already working on the screenplay for a third Batman film, but when they talked to producer Charles Roven, they were unable to get a confirmation. I have a feeling that the process is in the earliest of stages (ideas, possible treatment), and that the trio are not huddled around a table in a room with one of them hard at work typing behind a computer screen.
Puss in Boots and The Flash news after the jump.
THR reports that Tom Wheeler has been hired to pen the Shrek spin-off Puss in Boots for DreamWorks Animation. Wheeler previously co-wrote the television mini-series Empire. Shrek The Third /co-writer/co-director Chris Miller penned an earlier draft.
The screenwriter behind the in-development Jonny Quest, Dan Mazeau, has been hired to write a draft on DC’s Flash for Warner Bros, according to IESB sources. Again, producer Charles Roven was unable to confirm. It sounds like the project is still a long ways from a greenlight.
