Warner Bros. keeps writer-director Christopher Nolan in the fold by purchasing Nolan’s spec script “Inception”:

In a whopping seven-figure buy, Warner Bros. has nabbed “Inception,” a script written by Christopher Nolan as his next directing vehicle.

Nolan will begin production this summer on the project that Warner describes as a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.

While most people may think of Christopher Nolan as a director, he has writing credits that include Memento (2000), Batman Begins (2005), The Prestige (2006), and of course The Dark Knight (2008).
