The Fat Man and Little Boy movie was boring. He'll have a hard time making it exciting this time around.

So as a history major/nerd, one split similar to Dunkirk I could see him do would be Germany the US and Japan. All three tried to develop nuclear weapons and only the US succeeded. So it could be a race type of thing.

The other would be his pre war idealistic life In academia, his pragmatic one as part of the Manhattan project, and his post war life as someone who tried to curb nuclear weapons. As I think about it, the latter makes some sense. Would be a good contrast.
But knowing Nolan it will be something none of us have thought of.

Yeah, but Germany never even got kind of close. There's nothing that could be the storyline, unless you discuss some of those scientists intentionally sabotaging the efforts in Germany because they knew how terrible of a leader Hitler was.

Filming officially begins in the "first quarter of 2022," which all but guarantees a summer 2023 release.

Will this actually matter in the end? Nolan movies will always be Nolan movies regardless of studio, imo.

He hated the hbo streaming while in theaters bigly.

It's just newsworthy that the HBO Max deal pissed him off enough to actually leave the studio he's been at for nearly 20 years. Will it affect your viewing experience in-theater? No. But it marks the end of an era and yet another interesting development due to Covid.

Oh I agree, just making conversation.

QT hopped over to Sony and luckily didn't miss a beat.

I understand why he is mad, but I also think he was being very unrealistic about that whole situation.

I dont fault him at all. The studio seemed to have just sprung it on him. Id be pissed as hell if someone cheapened art I worked for a year plus of my life on. You can argue that they didn't cheapen it, but he very obviously feels like they did.

One thing is for sure, as is true in most situations. Good communication would almost assuredly have been better for the situation. I find that good communication makes most all things better.

Agree. It's like the Packers and Rodgers. Just have the conversation with them. They've earned that respect.

Bingo. Exactly. Instead, WB decided to ask for forgiveness after the fact instead of permission before, and it ended up screwing them. They just lost one of their signature filmmakers. Of everyone they were doing business with, he was the ONE guy they should have absolutely communicated with.

I don't doubt that, It looked fantastic. It was just boring.

There are a lot of ways he can go with this story, it's possible we even see a decent amount of actual warfare. Especially some of the island hopping, fight to the death near the end?

Could very possibly get some USS Indianapolis action.

(I'll probably lose it if Hans Zimmer's score (presuming his involvement) has any inkling of John Williams' Jaws theme mixed in there if there is anything regarding the aftermath of that ship's sinking).

Dunkirk was only boring for people who went in just expecting an action war movie and didn't know what the actual Dunkirk even was.

My #1 cinema wish is for Chris Nolan to remake a movie like "The Day After" or "Threads." This will be alright, I guess.

I don't care who you are, in this day and age, no movie needs a 100-day theatrical window. Some of these stipulations are straight up arrogant and tone deaf...

Wow. The other problem with this is that it would be released to Peacock which I'm just not going to get. I'm full up on streaming services and don't need another one.

Personally I love it. Want to see brilliance made for the big screen? Go to the theater.

I'm not talking about a simultaneous streaming release. Of course I'm all for an exclusive theatrical release. I've never not advocated for that. Rather, say, a 45-day theatrical window makes so much more sense, like what many of the other streamers are now doing, as opposed to 100 days. Considering the current landscape, it's ridiculous to make people wait 100 days before they can see it from the comfort of their home.

that utterly ignores the economics of film

outside of the BIG blockbusters, no film needs anywhere near that size of a window these days.

it is an unfair and as stated arrogant demand.




And this will be a big blockbuster. And it's the best theatrical director out there right now. Time will tell if it's smart or not.

If I lived in Hiroshima, I'd be real worried if Nolan wants to film on location.

Poor Nagasaki always gets ignored for Hiroshima. No one ever compares an explosion to the Nagasaki one, just Hiroshima.
