I think people just want to work with him.

This means he has left his warner days behind and made peace with his past. The relationship with Universal is what will create his legacy and it was just a drill until now
Lol his WB work will absolutely be his legacy. Love that he's reached the point where his name is enough though.blackColumn wrote: ↑July 21st, 2022, 10:38 pmFrom the teaser, there was no 'From The Director Of..'

To be fair both the Interstellar teaser and Tenet teaser also didn't list his resume.blackColumn wrote: ↑July 21st, 2022, 10:38 pmFrom the teaser, there was no 'From The Director Of..'Bacon wrote: ↑July 21st, 2022, 10:32 pmThere may also be some internal stuff about Nolan's next movie.

I'm not sure if it was ever discussed here, but I saw someone on Twitter today suggest Rami Malek is playing James Chadwick.

IMDB is listing Alden Ehrenreich as playing "Richard Feynman"...Can't find confirmation of that anywhere else, though.
