After a well-deserved break after the success of ‘Oppenheimer’ and sweeping the Oscars with it, Christopher Nolan and has a new project in the making. There is an Imax release date for this film that is believed to be will begin filming early next year: July 17, 2026which fits perfectly with his traditional Nolan release dates on other occasions.
Little else is known about this new film, except that Matt Damon appears as the protagonist. It will be the third time that Damon appears in a Nolan film, after ‘Interstellar’ and ‘Oppenheimer’, and thus equaling the mark of Christian Bale and Cillian Murphy. At the moment it is unknown if the film will have an ensemble tone like Nolan’s last, but if he remains faithful to his custom, Damon will not be the only star we will see in his cast.
There is another relevant piece of information that Yes, we know about this new project: Universal will be in charge of producing it. It is a logical decision for both parties, who must have been more than satisfied with the performance of the biopic of the creator of the atomic bomb, after amassing almost a billion dollars in revenue and winning seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, and awards for Actor. main and supporting actor.
‘Oppenheimer’ marked an important break in Nolan’s career: it was the first time in almost twenty years that he did not collaborate with Warner after having given him hits such as the ‘Dark Knight’ trilogy, ‘Interstellar’ or ‘Inception’. The clearest reason for the disagreement between the director and the production company was Warner’s decision to release its films directly on HBO Max to enhance the platform and overcome the limitations of the pandemic period and theater closures.
Although this decision did not affect his ‘Tenet’, Nolan considered that the decision discredited the work of the filmmakers working under the Warner umbrella. Last year, paradoxically, Warner was able to stand up to ‘Oppenheimer’ with ‘Barbie’ and the notorious Barbenheimer phenomenon, but it is doubtful that Nolan will again find a rival at the box office of that magnitude, much less one that comes from his former production company. Although Nolan declared in 2023 that any conflict was a thing of the past, for now he remains loyal to Universal.
