By Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” swept the Oscars on Sunday night, with many now wondering what is next for the celebrated filmmaker.
Unlike some other directors, Nolan is famous for directing one movie at a time with nothing else lying in the wings in wait that has his name attached and is begging for his attention.
So what could be next? According to Variety, one of the most frrequent guesses right now is a film reconception of the influential 1960s British mystery-thriller TV series “The Prisoner”.
The 17-episode series followed Patrick McGoohan as Number Six, an unnamed British intelligence agent abducted and imprisoned in a mysterious coastal village after resigning from his position.
The residents consist of hundreds of people from all walks of life and cultures. Most are captives, some are guards, and all are under constant surveillance. Any attempts to escape are fatal.
Nolan was attached to the project in 2009, but the project disappeared. AMC shortly after released a reconception of the work as a mini-series in 2009 starring Jim Caviezel, Ruth Wilson and Sir Ian McKellen.
Fifteen years later, is Nolan coming back around to it? Other sources say he has already begun writing a new screenplay now the awards season is behind him.
