"盜夢"導演諾蘭重拍《飛行家》
"盜夢"導演克里斯托弗·諾蘭即將在今年春季開拍《蝙蝠俠4：黑暗騎士的崛起》，而在之前諾蘭就聲稱該片將是他知道的這部漫畫改編電影系列中的最後一部，在告別了超級英雄之後，這位大導演將把自己的目光投向現實中的歷史傳奇人物——美國大名鼎鼎的名航空家，工程師、企業家、電影導演、花花公子、潔癖者——霍華德·休斯。
諾蘭在看到了大導演馬丁·斯科塞斯的《飛行家》之後萌發了再度拍攝霍華德傳記的想法，前者是根據一部名爲《霍華德·休斯：祕密的生活》改編而來，此番，克里斯托弗決定以作家Michael Drosnin的《公民休斯：權利、金錢與瘋狂》一書爲藍本，所以並不擔心題材的“撞車”。《公民休斯》主要關注了霍華德萬年的生活，並以他的手書回憶錄爲本。據悉，克里斯托弗·諾蘭有望在2012年底開拍此片，預計2014年上映，屆時剛好是斯科塞斯的《飛行家》上映10週年之日。
As director Christopher Nolan prepares to shoot The Dark Knight Rises this spring, new details have emerged that he wants to direct a biopic on Howard Hughes soon after he wraps the final chapter of his Batman trilogy.
Christopher Nolan originally scrapped his plans for this biopic after Martin Scorsese beat him to the punch with the 2004 movie The Aviator. While The Aviator was based off the biography Howard Hughes: The Secret Life, written by Charles Higham, Christopher Nolan's project will be based off a different book titled Citizen Hughes: The Power, The Money and the Madness by Michael Drosnin.
This book delves into Howard Hughes' later years, including his obsessive-compulsive disorder issues and his life as a recluse. The book is based on thousands Howard Hughes's own hand-written memos, which were leaked after his office was burglarized in 1975.
The current plan is for Christopher Nolan to shoot this untitled biopic in late 2012, with it to be released in 2014. This will be 10 years after The Aviator's release. It isn't clear if Christopher Nolan is adapting the screenplay himself. The project isn't set up at a studio yet, although, if everything comes together, it is likely that the movie will be set up at Warner Bros.
