Instead of seeing Nolan take on a tired Universal IP like "Jurassic Park" or the classic Universal Monsters, it may be cool for him to remake an old school Universal SciFi flick like "Colossus:The Forbin Project" or "The Andromeda Strain". "Slaughterhouse-Five" would also be a cool choice, deals wi...

Yep, which makes me wonder. I'm assuming he's going to be an in-house director for Universal for quite a while. I honestly don't think Jaws or a Universal Monsters film (even with Blumhouse) is that crazy. Imagine a really epic, faithful Dracula or Frankenstein, three hours, $200 million. It seems b...

I'd say Nolan's franchise IP days are likely done....but if "Oppenheimer" eats it at the box office, who knows... This is my line of thinking. Especially if he wants to keep doing big event movies exclusively for theaters. Universal's going to want a Top Gun: Maverick from him eventually, it's basi...

A truly cursed thread.

Hey thanks!

This is obviously a big fat What If , but seeing as how Nolan has now adapted a major WB property, a novel, a book, and is now starting what seems to be a long relationship with Universal, it's not out of the question that they might try to rope him into reviving one of their major IPs. Looking at t...

I wouldn't be surprised if Nolan retired after Oppenheimer. He's got to be getting exhausted with all this streaming and IP focus post-covid and MCU/Star Wars/Disney+ nonsense. Now this. I'd be having an existential crisis as an artist. I can't imagine he hasn't thrown his arms up at least once and ...

Good lord, Nolan joined Universal at the perfect time. WB seems to be falling apart as we speak. After the Batgirl announcement, we'll be getting The Flash announcement next, and then there's talk that Dune: Part Two will be scrapped, as well as Joker 2 and Matt Reeves' The Batman 2. They have no id...

I'm convinced that anyone who "complains" about B&W or doesn't "like it" has not tried watching it for more than five minutes. Your eyes make the adjustment very quickly. It's never been an issue for me. It's quite beautiful. Sometimes I prefer it. There are movies I can't imagine not being B&W and ...

Never dropping online the Tenet teaser was a very stupid decision.

I agree with this. Market your movie. Generate hype. Get people watching it over and over and speculating together. That's not only part of the fun, that's basic business. Make as many people know about it as possible.

Looks like the approach here is making Oppenheimer look like this mythical, god-like figure, and I'm digging it. The man who moved the earth. People around him, taking pictures, in awe. This whole thing has a very eerie, almost apocalyptic tone for me, very larger-than-life. I can't quite describe i...
