David S. Goyer Says He And Christopher Nolan Continue To Collaborate (Just Unofficially)
David S. Goyer— who co-wrote the scripts for The Dark Knight trilogy with Christopher Nolan — said he and his fellow filmmaker to this day float their work by each other even though they haven't officially collaborated on a film in over a decade. Goyer — who is executive producing the new Apple TV+ sci-fi action comedy Murderbot — first collaborated with Nolan when the two filmmakers co-wrote the script for Batman Begins in 2005. After that, Goyer, Christopher Nolan and his brother, Jonathan Nolan (Fallout), co-wrote the scripts for 2008's The Dark Knight and 2012's The Dark Knight Rises. In addition, Goyer wrote the screenplay — based on his and Christopher Nolan's story — for director Zack Snyder's 2011 Superman movie Man of Steel; and co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Terrio for Snyder's 2016 sequel Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which Nolan executive produced. So, while it's been 14 years since Goyer and Nolan wrote a film together, Goyer said in a recent Zoom conversation to discuss Murderbot that he and his fellow creative not only keep in touch as friends, they also keep each other informed on the current projects they're working on. 'Chris has sent early drafts of [screenplays of] some of his movies or brought me to early screenings and asked for my input,' Goyer said. 'We have another project that we've been working on together that hasn't been made yet that I'm still hoping for,' Goyer added with a smile. "He doesn't develop a lot of things but this is one of the few. I can't say what it is, but I'm hoping he'll decide he's ready to do it.' Now streaming on Apple TV+, Murderbot stars Alexander Skarsgård as a cyborg in the future who self-hacks its own governing module to become self-aware. Resisting its natural urge to kill the 'stupid f---ing humans' he is assigned to protect, Muderbot — as the cyborg calls itself — eventually takes a liking to the expedition group's members, including Gurathin (David Dastmalchian), an augmented human and tech expert with the crew. Dastmalchian's breakthrough role in showbiz came in 2008's The Dark Knight in a small but pivotal scene the Joker's (Heath Ledger) demented henchman, Thomas Schiff. Taken into custody following an assassination attempt on Gotham Mayor (Nestor Carbonell) during the funeral of Police Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb (Colin McFarlane), District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) threatens to shoot Schiff until Batman (Christian Bale) intervenes. David S. Goyer said during our Zoom conversation that he was on set for Dastmalchian's key scene in The Dark Knight and has tracked his career ever since. Following The Dark Knight, Dastmalchian appeared in nearly 100 screen roles in such films as Marvel's Ant-Man trilogy, director James Gunn's The Suicide Squad and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, as well as the 2024 indie horror hit Late Night with the Devil. David Dastmalchian in "Murderbot." Apple TV+ 'When I went to the set to visit the filming of Murderbot— it was a scene from the last episode that I won't reveal between David and Alexander — David was very excited because we hadn't talked [while he was working on The Dark Knight] Goyer said he's very excited for viewers to see Dastmalchian in Murderbot because it shows his tremendous range as an actor. 'David often plays the heavy or the psycho and Murderbot shows another side of him in the relationship between the two characters he and Alexander play in this show, which I think is really lovely,' Goyer enthused. Based on Martha Wells' best-selling book series The Murderbot Diaries, Murderbot continues with the release of Episode 4 this Friday on Apple TV+, with six more episodes scheduled to debut every Friday through July 11. Also on July 11, the third season of the sci-fi series Foundation — which Goyer co-created with Josh Friedman — premieres on Apple TV+. In addition, another Goyer co-creation — the fantasy series The Sandman – returns for its second and final season on Netflix with six episodes on July 3 and six more episodes on July 24.

Fallout season 2 will arrive this year, and season 3 is confirmed
Just over a year ago, Fallout season 1 premiered on Amazon Prime Video and it quickly established itself as a hit series. Typically, a big-budget genre show like Fallout takes two years or longer to produce another season in the streaming age. But Amazon has announced that Fallout season 2 will premiere later this year, and the series has already been renewed for season 3. Via Deadline, Amazon made the announcement during its Prime Video upfront presentation this week. The premiere window for Fallout season 2 is December 2025, roughly 20 months after the first season dropped on Prime Video. Recommended Videos 'The holidays came a little early this year – we are thrilled to be ending the world all over again for a third season of Fallout,' said Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy in a statement. The executive producers of the series went on to thank their 'brilliant cast and crew' and 'our showrunners Geneva [Robertson-Dworet] and Graham [Wagner], and our partners at Bethesda,' before adding that they are 'grateful to our incredible collaborators at Amazon MGM Studios and to the amazing fans as we continue our adventures in the wasteland together.' Yellowjackets standout Ella Purnell stars in the series as Lucy MacLean, a young woman who lived in a vault for her entire life. When her father, Hank (Kyle MacLachlan), was kidnapped by raiders, Lucy left the safety of Vault 33 behind and went into the wasteland to find him. Along the way, she befriended Maximus (Aaron Moten), a squire in the Brotherhood of Steel, and she went up against the Ghoul (Walton Goggins). However, the events of the season finale caused Lucy to turn on her father after she learned disturbing secrets that he kept from her. She also joined forces with the Ghoul to find her dad, who was last seen heading towards New Vegas. Presumably Fallout season 2 will have eight episodes, just as the first season did. However, there's no new trailer at this time.

Fallout Season 2 Coming in December and Season 3 Is a Go
Fallout is going beyond New Vegas. Monday, Prime Video announced that season two of the hit video game adaptation is debuting in December 2025, and that it will be followed by a third season too. 'The holidays came a little early this year—we are thrilled to be ending the world all over again for a third season of Fallout,' executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy said in a press release. 'On behalf of our brilliant cast and crew, our showrunners Geneva [Robertson-Dworet] and Graham [Wagner], and our partners at Bethesda, we're grateful to our incredible collaborators at Amazon MGM Studios and to the amazing fans as we continue our adventures in the wasteland together.' Season one of the show ended with Lucy (Ella Purnell) and the Ghoul (Walton Goggins) teaming up to attempt to find the leaders of Vault-Tec, the company responsible for everyone's favorite Fallout chambers, which also just so happened to cause the apocalyptic event that led to their use. And all signs point to that happening in New Vegas, one of the most notable locations from the hit video game series. 'We are absolutely thrilled that our global Prime Video customers will be able to delve deeper into the wonderfully surreal and captivating world of Fallout,' Vernon Sanders, global head of television for Amazon MGM, said. 'Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have done an exceptional job bringing this beloved video game franchise to vivid life on Prime Video. Together with our amazing partners at Bethesda Games and Bethesda Softworks, we are delighted to announce a third season of Fallout, well ahead of the much-anticipated debut of season two.' It will have been about a year and a half between seasons when season two debuts, so a 2027 premiere seems likely for season three. Will things go beyond that? I guess we'll find out once we see where season two goes. Are you excited to return to the world of Fallout? What game stories would you like to see adapted?
