Christopher Nolan to Direct Howard Hughes Biopic

Fiona August 5, 2011 1 comment

Christopher Nolan

Director Christopher Nolan is very busy man indeed. We already know that The Dark Knight Rises will be his last Batman film, but today we learned something new! Apparently, Nolan wants to direct a Howard Hughes biopic after he wraps the final chapter of Batman trilogy. That's quite fast, indeed! We all know that Nolan wrote a screenplay for Hughes biopic that he intended to direct for a while, but then Martin Scorsese‘s competing project – 2004 The Aviator gained momentum first. The Aviator was based off the biography Howard Hughes: The Secret Life, written by Charles Higham, while Christopher Nolan's project will be based off a different book titled Citizen Hughes: The Power, The Money and the Madness written by Michael Drosnin. And just in case you're wondering what's so interesting about this man, according to Vulture we'll have a chance to “meet the Howard Hughes who spent much of 1948 sitting naked in a bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel with only a pink dinner napkin covering his genitals as he screened movies from his studio, RKO Pictures, and ran up an $11 million tab. The Hughes who – obsessed with food safety – once bought every franchise restaurant chain in his home state of Texas, and who was similarly so concerned about air quality that he installed an aircraft filtration system in his 1954 Chrysler New Yorker, taking up its entire trunk; the Howard Hughes who had his hair cut and nails trimmed only once a year, and who was seemingly as addicted to Baskin Robbins Banana Ripple ice cream as he was to regular codeine injections; the Hughes who at the end of his life considered only Mormons trustworthy enough to be let into his inner circle.” The current plan is for Christopher Nolan to shoot this untitled biopic in late 2012, for 2014 release. We'll keep an eye on this biopic, stay tuned!

    I’m looking forward to the new biopic of Howard Hughes. Hopefully there will be more truths told about him. Even though it has been written that he was not able to walk or that he had long hair and long finger nails or that he never returned to Las Vegas is that really true? I will agree that he had long hair down to his shoulders and his finger nails were from 1/4 to 3/8″, but I don’t agree with him not being able to walk or that he never returned to Las Vegas after leaving on November 20, 1970. The reason why is because I witnessed a photograph being taken of him in front of the Mint Hotel in Las vegas in March of 1971. Howard Hughes with Levar B. Myler, (a senior penthouse aide) to his left and John H. Meier, (his business manager who is better known for his involvement in Watergate) standing to his right. In the front passenger seat of the black Cadillac Limo that was park at the curb sat John M. Holmes Jr.,(another senior aide). Hopefully this photo will be found so the stories about Mr Hughes can be corrected. For more details on how I know can be found with a search search under Levar B. Myler.
