Slightly deviating off-topic, but who do you think was a bigger draw for Inception; Nolan or Leo?

Lots of people casually loyal to the Nolan brand, as well as many more hardcore Nolan fans, disliked Dunkirk intensely and found it empty and boring, closer to something like Roma than The Dark Knight. I think there will be an A-lister or two in this, probably playing a villain, but if there isn't, his brand could take a hit if this isn't a homerun that people quote and talk about all the time.Allstar wrote: ↑March 19th, 2019, 7:56 pmChristopher Nolan sells himself now, he doesn't need a DiCaprio anymore. Fionn Whitehead lead his last film with a huge budget and was a massive success. And even the "known" actors in Dunkirk were not draws.BlairCo wrote: ↑March 19th, 2019, 7:50 pmI can't wait to see what he and Nolan cook up together. His performance in BlackKklansman really impressed me; his charisma oozed through the screen. But I feel like if he's going to be the main lead, then that tells me this movie is either going to have a big ensemble or it's a really big scaled movie, because nobody is saying "Hey, let's go see that new John David Washington movie".
