Including insult to harm to Warner Bros. Discovery’s horrible, horrible, no good, very dangerous weekend, former WB crown jewel Christopher Nolan might be staying with Common Studios for the foreseeable future. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the director’s subsequent film might be for Common, which launched final yr’s Finest Image winner, Oppenheimer. Clearly, Nolan is proud of the expertise. He made the film he needed to (a three-hour drama about physics). It by some means made almost a billion {dollars} regardless of being a three-hour drama about physics, and Nolan received his first Finest Director statue.
Like virtually all his motion pictures from the earlier decade (besides Interstellar), the brand new movie will open in mid-to-late July. Common has it slated for July 17, 2026. Matt Damon, who co-starred in Oppenheimer and had a bizarre little position in Interstellar, is in talks to star. Nonetheless, particulars concerning the film’s plot are being stored below wraps. We’re crossing our fingers for 2enet.
It sounds just like the joke continues to be on Warner Bros., which infamously torched its relationship with Nolan over the disastrous day-and-date launch plan from 2020. Nolan reportedly thought of reuniting with Yakko, Wakko, and Dot earlier this yr, however sadly for the brothers (and sister), this newest undertaking wasn’t up for public sale like Oppenheimer. The brand new undertaking went “straight to the studio,” The Hollywood Reporter writes. Nolan made a reputation for himself at Warners together with his wildly profitable Darkish Knight motion pictures, presaging regardless of the hell is occurring in Joker: Folie À Deux. After Tenet, Warner Bros. misplaced Nolan however continued making wild, chaotic decisions, like shelving Batgirl and releasing a Joker sequel. What can we are saying? Some studios simply wish to watch the world burn.
