Christopher Nolan hires Keith Gordon to write and direct supernatural thriller

Christopher Nolan has hired Keith Gordon to write and direct a new supernatural thriller for Warner Bros. Deadline reports that Nolan's Syncopy and Warner Bros. are set to produce, with Emma Thomas serving as excec producer on the film. Not much is known about the project other than it is based on a novel.

This project marks the second time that Nolan has given the reins to someone else to direct. The first being Warner Bros Superman reboot, Man of Steel, which Zack Snyder is directing.  Gordon got his start as an actor and then became a director. He starred in Christine and most recently has been directing episodes of series that include The Killing and Dexter. 

Any project that involves Nolan automatically gets my attention. I am excited to see Gordon getting the chance to make the jump from recent small screen work to the big leagues. I love a good thriller, especially one that Nolan is involved. What are your thoughts on this news?
