Christopher Nolan will collaborate with Universal again after the success of “Oppenheimer” film that won seven awards at the last Oscars, including best film and best direction. The new film will have performances by Matt Damon and Tom Holland with premiere scheduled for July 17, 2026.
Unlike “Oppenheimer” which was acquired by Universal at auction, the new film is being developed directly with the studio. The director who rose to fame with the independent and odd “Memento”, with Guy Pierce climbed into the mainstream until consecrated with the trilogy of “The Dark Knight” produced by Warner Bros. Nolan He left that studio because it released the films simultaneously in theaters and streaming.
It turned out that the film Nolan will be an adaptation of the British fiction of the 60s created by Patrick McGoohanwhich he will produce with his wife, Emma Thomas. As to Damon, It would mark his third collaboration with Nolan after “Oppenheimer” where he gave life to Leslie Grovesthe US military high command in charge of the Manhattan Project. Previously, the actor had a brief but key appearance in “Interstellar” as the doctor and astronaut Hugh Mann.
Nolan swept critics, audiences and impact with “Oppenheimer in the director’s first step outside of Warner. With the new film the director will return to the sources, moving away from science fiction and instead delving into the spy thriller with a touch of horror.
One of the hallmarks of Nolan It is advanced technology. His collaboration with IMAX has extended beyond the usual, using these types of huge, heavy analog cameras, offering his opinions to improve them. In this case it will be an innovative technology that the company has been working on for a year.
This is equipment never used before and developed during the last year. It is not the first time that Nolan bursts with changes in these chambers, since both in ““Tenet” as in “Oppenheimer” He filmed with equipment updated and perfected by the director.
