Christopher Nolan

Christopher Nolan is reportedly planning to begin work on a new supernatural-themed thriller next year.

According to Deadline, the Inception director will produce the project for Warner Bros through his company Syncopy.

Nolan has tapped regular TV director and writer Keith Gordon to helm the project, following his work on dramas such as Dexter and The Killing.

The project is said to be based on a currently-unknown novel, and will be a basic thriller but with definite supernatural undertones.

Nolan is currently producing the Zack Snyder-directed superhero reboot Superman: The Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill, Kevin Coster, Diane Lane, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon and Russell Crowe.

The director also began filming The Dark Knight Returns, his final entry in the Batman franchise, earlier this month in London.
