Next Christopher Nolan Film to Open in July 2020

Quote:

Christopher Nolan's next movie is slowly coming into focus. Warner Bros. announced Friday that Nolan's next film will open in Imax on July 17, 2020. The project is described as an event film, but nothing else is known about Nolan’s latest venture. The writer-director has a propensity for secrecy, writing his scripts away from any prying eyes. Furthermore, he is of such a stature that he can attract the actors he wants, package his project with thespians and then present it to a studio with what amounts to a simple yes or no question: Are you in or are you out? The filmmaker is coming off of the World War II film Dunkirk, which won three Academy Awards and earned the filmmaker his first best director Oscar nomination. The Warner Bros. film grossed $526.9 million globally. The release date makes sense for Nolan, who has a predisposition for July releases. Of the filmmaker’s last five movies, four have opened in that mid-July sweet spot, including 2008's The Dark Knight, 2010's Inception, 2012's The Dark Knight Rises and 2017's Dunkirk. Interstellar was the exception, opening in November of 2014.

An "event film" sounds like an action film of sorts to me. Combined with the fact that it is being filmed in IMAX and during the summer, I think we can expect some sort of blockbuster. Of course, knowing Nolan, it won't just be a blockbuster of any sort. This guy is coming off Oscar material. We'll know more several months from now I'm sure, but of course we can always let the speculation begin.

Personally, given the timing of it all, I'm hoping he can restart Bond after this project.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Kenneth Branagh will appear in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film, “Tenet.” Clémence Poésy, Dimple Kapadia, Michael Caine are also joining the cast that includes John David Washington, Elizabeth Debicki, and Robert Pattinson. “Tenet,” which is being filmed on location across seven countries, is an action epic evolving from the world of international espionage. Nolan is directing from his own original screenplay and will use a mix of Imax and 70mm film to bring the story to the big screen. Nolan and his wife, Emma Thomas are producing the movie, while Thomas Hayslip is serving as executive producer. Nolan’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema, production designer Nathan Crowley, editor Jennifer Lame, costume designer Jeffrey Kurland, and visual effects supervisor Andrew Jackson. The score is being composed by Ludwig Göransson.

That description sounds great to me.

Sounds like it’ll be another Nolan epic. He knows how to make movies that are what you think of when you think of a movie — the whole package (visual, audio, emotional). I walked out of Dunkirk a full blown pacifist.

I like Aaron Taylor-Johnson a good bit too.

I want a Nolan-made Boba Fett movie. I want Nolan to do for Fett what he did for Batman

Trailer dropped. Looks insane.
