Jonathan Nolan To Direct Superman Reboot?

The rumor mill continues to crank about who will direct the latest Superman reboot. Last week Home Alone helmer Chris Columbus was rumored to be in the running, but that was quickly shot down. Now, according to site Geek Tyrant, Christopher Nolan’s little bro Jonathan has been attached to direct the man of steel.

Seems like an odd choice considering Jonathan has never stepped behind the lens before. He co-wrote The Dark Knight, The Prestige and Memento, so his storytelling skills are not in question. However, handling the reigns of a tentpole franchise that can ill afford to suffer another flop is risky.

Although, if Christopher is on board as producer, maybe he can help steer the ship clear of rough waters. Hard to bet against the Nolans; everything they touch seems to turn to gold. At this point, nothing is confirmed. I wouldn’t be surprised if this too is debunked sometime over the next couple days.
