So what studio is he gonna sign with cause it seems like he’s done with WB?

Paramount or WB. They easily have the best relationship with IMAX. For the latter, they just have to make sure Jason Kilar is kicked out of the company.

I am hoping for netflix with them working with another studio for overseas markets.

Netflix is definitely not giving any of their movies a 3+ month theatrical window. And they have no clue how to market a proper theatrical release. And Netflix getting Nolan would be a terrible thing for movies.

Variety said $100 mil budget.

 

Says over even. But tbf, when Dunkirk was initially announced I think the project was speculated to be 150m+ and ended up less.

Looked up the man and Cillian Murphy isn't the worst choice, not a total reach...

 

Oppenheimer's personal life was rather messy in this timeframe and involved a couple of scientist women who were very interesting in their own right, Nolan had better not mess that up with his "including my son" level writing for female characters. More Murph and less sad/dead wives, please...

Can Paramount afford to greenlight a 100m+ original film these days.

The frontrunner is still WB unless WB is done with him too.

Nolan would want to explode real nuclear bombs. Wont be cheap for sure. 

I was literally coming in here to make that joke. 
 

Though he probably could just use archival footage.Though he probably could just use archival footage.

Fingers crossed for a linear-ish drama that doesn't try so hard to be a mind-fuck. The subject matter should be enough.

People thought it would ve a huge scale epic ala Pearl Harbor which cost a fuckload. He didn't make what everyone was expecting. 

[Macleod]

Does Nolan really think he's going to make a better movie than this???  BOOOORIIIING.

Cillian Murphy is a treasure and him being a Nolan lead is way overdue.

Those who knew about the events of Dunkirk wouldn't have expected another Pearl Harbour. One was a full on attack whilst the other was pretty much a rescue mission

Cillian Murphy is another Sam Rockwell. One of those amazing actors that elevated everything he's in yet is rarely a lead 

[WittyUsername]

Yeah, sure. Why not? 

[CoolioD1]

honestly pretty rude that we found out what the movie was about straight away and we couldn't get in the traditional 20 pages of hacky material (dead wives etc) joking about what this could be.

It would have been easy to craft a huge-scale epic actioner with Churchill as one of the main characters, showing Germany's steam rolling through France/ the comical ineptitude of the Maginot line, English troops fleeing the collapsing country, while the sense of impending doom sets in over in England, Churchills panic similar to what is shown in DARKEST HOUR, the incredible rallying of the English civilians to rescue the stranded soldiers, maybe ending with Churchills "We shall fight!" speech set against a montage of the epic dog fights of the Battle of Britain. Woulda been amazing and a monster box office hit no doubt. 

 

Nolan made a very different movie. Dunkirk is a good flick but Nolan def. missed the potential to make a truly epic classic there. The Dunkirk evacuation was more than a miracle - it was a truly epic moment in human history where day sailors and civilians rescued 300k trapped soldiers - who became a stone wall for Hitlers lutwaffe.

 

Nolans Dunkirk completely missed the grander scope of what actually occurred there, similar to how Bay's Pearl Harbor doesn't even attempt to show the epic unification and rallying of post Pearl Harbor America.

That's alot to tell in 1 movie. I think Battle of Britain would deserve a movie to itself
