Pitt races a ton in the movie himself, and at any given time they have like six cameras mounted on the car. They took everything they learned from mounting the cameras to the jets in Top Gun: Maverick and expanded on it here, with a couple of the cameras able to be remotely controlled and move this time. This, on top of the fact that they've been filming at all of the live F1 races, with Pitt racing on the track with a real crowd, in a real F1 atmosphere.

I thought the 1940s part of Oppenheimer was great, but I didn't care for the 50s stuff. That's part of my problem with a lot of Nolan movies, especially those made in the last 10 or so years. I really love parts of them, but find some parts just ok.


I thought the 50s stuff was the more interesting part

Nolan has been my favorite director for years. I really see them at the same level at this point as far as how excited I am to see their movie. Plot, character, dialogue, visuals, music. They both just nail the movie watching experience where I'm gonna be at the theater no matter what. I don't even want to see trailers. Just go in blind knowing it will be a blast.

I like Nolan's films for the most part but the dialogue in Tenet was about the worst I've ever heard in a major film. Each character just reading plot points to the viewer.

Over the last decade we've had a new Nolan film every three years...

2023 = Oppenheimer
2020 = Tenet
2017 = Dunkirk
2014 = Interstellar

... which would mean 2026 for the next one, now that we know he's started writing (script in '24, shoot in '25, release in '26). I'm just glad he already has his next idea and isn't taking an extended victory lap/extended vacation after his big Oscar win.

As for Villeneuve, I expect him to be on roughly the same trajectory, considering whichever of his three non-Dune projects are next, the scripts for each are at least past the initial draft stages.

In other words, 2026 could be the year we get projects from both Nolan AND Villeneuve.

Granted, that's what 2023 would have been had Dune: Part Two not moved from November to March, while 2017 saw both Dunkirk and Blade Runner 2049.

Still, considering both directors reached new heights this month, each having movies out in 2026 would feel bigger than ever.

I think to keep with tradition, we need a thread such as we had for previous Nolan films. *** Untiled Chris Nolan Movie *** or something.

Just throwing this out there...

If we use "the number of half million dollar IMAX cameras destroyed" as a measure, then Nolan clearly leads this catagory 3-0
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

I was about to say, I love that moment every few years when we actually find out what Nolan's next movie is about it, but it appears as though the news might have already leaked. Will wait for further confirmation, though...

Now all eyes are on what Nolan - who wrote, directed and produced "Oppenheimer" - will do next. Some say it will be a remake of the mystery-thriller "The Prisoner," based on the 1960s TV series created by and starring Patrick McGoohan, which Nolan was attached to in 2009. But the sci-fi project vanished from Nolan's dance card that same year, when AMC released its own "The Prisoners," a six-part miniseries led by Jim Caviezel as the ill-fated agent Number Six alongside Ian McKellen and Ruth Wilson. Others say he will begin writing a new screenplay now that the awards season is behind him.

I will be sorely disappointed if we don't hear any Iron Maiden in this movie.

Surprised this hadn't been posted in this thread. The two best in the business, sitting down to have a chat:

I believe it was posted, or at least referenced or had smaller clips of it posted. That's where CN calls out Dune 2 as akin to ESB if I remember right.

Must be a different thread. I went through this entire thread to check before posting.

Oh yea that was probably on the Dune 2 thread itself! Carry on.

I'm more likely to rewatch all of DV's films vs rewatching only 1-2 of CN's so yes to me he's there.
