Preview:
- Chris Nolan is developing his next, mysterious movie.
- Matt Damon is in talks to star.
- Universal will distribute the film.
Ever since Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’ won seven Oscars and earned nearly a billion dollars at the box office, the question on everyone’s mind has been, “what will he do to follow that up?” Well, maybe not Nolan’s mind, which in the immediate aftermath was probably, “how long can I sleep for?”

But the ever-active mind of the filmmaker behind films such as ‘Inception,’ ‘Tenet’ and the successful Batman trilogy, has not been sleeping long, and he’s now starting to put the pieces together for his next movie.

Deadline is reporting that Matt Damon is now in talks for the director’s new project, though much about it beyond that is strictly under wraps, which is pretty much his style.

What’s the story of Christopher Nolan’s next film?

As with everything to do with Nolan, the title, plot and even genre are a mystery at this point.

There had been some chatter a few years ago about the writer/director looking at adapting cult British series ‘The Prisoner’ for the big screen, but this is apparently not that.

Who else will star in Christopher Nolan’s next film?

With Damon locking down a deal, expect the director to attract another sampling of big-name actors to take part.

Damon, of course, would now be a three-time Nolan performer (following ‘Interstellar’ and ‘Oppenheimer,’) joining the likes of Christian Bale and Cillian Murphy (with the latter scoring an Academy Award for ‘Oppenheimer’) in that club.

We wouldn’t be surprised if Murphy in particular comes back in some capacity; and given how many people cut their salaries and found time in busy schedules for roles in his last film, we doubt Nolan will have an issue filling the ensemble out.

Which studio will distribute Nolan’s next film?

While the filmmaker had been based for years at Warner Bros.’, the company’s decision to put much of its 2020 slate on streaming saw him take his business elsewhere.

The rights to ‘Oppenheimer’ were put up for auction, a bidding battle that Universal ultimately won and reaped the rewards when the movie became a huge sensation.

Nolan was clearly happy without things worked out in collaboration with the studio, as he’s gone right back to it for this new project, which will shoot in the IMAX format next year. He hasn’t ruled out a return to Warners in future, but it appears for now he’s happy where he is.

When will Chris Nolan’s next movie be in theaters?

Universal and IMAX have planted a flag in a July 17th, 2026 release slot for the new movie.

‘Yesterday’ Star Himesh Patel Joins Christopher Nolan’s ‘Tenet’

Universal

Himesh Patel, star of The Beatles-inspired movie “Yesterday,” is in negotiations to join Christopher Nolan‘s thriller “Tenet.”

Naturally, we have no idea what role he’ll play, since all we know about the project is it’s “an action epic evolving from the world of international espionage.”

A 60-second trailer recently showed in theaters only, focusing on John David Washington with the tagline: “Time has come for a new protagonist.”

“Tenet” stars Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Kenneth Branagh and Nolan regular Michael Caine. And It may or may not involve time travel. (Given Nolan’s love of playing with timelines, this wouldn’t be the least bit surprising.)

Patel also costars in the British period drama “The Aeronauts,” which is in theaters on December 6 and will debut on Amazon Prime on December 20.

Christopher Nolan’s ‘Tenet’ Drops Surprise Trailer With ‘Hobbs & Shaw’

Warner Bros.

Some moviegoers got a surprise sneak peek at Christopher Nolan’s next film, “Tenet,” on Thursday night.

The trailer — which is not yet available online — debuted before some screenings of “Hobbs & Shaw.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the roughly minute-long teaser opens on a bullet hole in glass. Behind the glass is John David Washington (“BlacKkKlansman”). That shot is followed by the tagline, “Time has come for a new protagonist.” Then, Washington examines the glass and the camera pans to reveal more cracks, presumably made from the bullet.

Notably, the title of the film (a palindrome) flips two of the letters upside down, reading as “TENƎꓕ”

Not much is known about the film, which also stars Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and (of course) Michael Caine. It’s been described as an “action epic evolving from the world of international espionage.”

But with rumors that the plot involves the time continuum, the use of the word “time” in the tagline, and the flipped letters in the title, Nolan may possibly deploy non-linear storytelling in “Tenet” just as he did in “Memento.”

Christopher Nolan Movie Titled ‘Tenet,’ Adds More Cast Members

Warner Bros.

Christopher Nolan’s next movie finally has a title. The film, set for release on July 17, 2020, is called “Tenet.”

Joining previously announced cast members John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki are Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Kenneth Branagh, Clémence Poésy, Dimple Kapadia, and Michael Caine (because it really wouldn’t be a Nolan movie without him).

“Tenet” is an action epic evolving from the world of international espionage. Filming will take place across seven countries. Yes please.

Nolan is directing from his own original screenplay and will use both IMAX and 70mm film.

It’s his first movie since 2017’s World War II drama “Dunkirk,” which was nominated for the Best Picture and Best Director Oscars and won Best Editing, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing.
