I'm early 40s and only heard about Blue Thunder a couple of months ago, when it was referenced on the True Lies episode of the Rewatchables. I watched the trailer and, yeah, it's dated, but I think Nolan could put his twist on it and make a fun action-thriller.

TCTTS said:
Production Weekly can be hit or miss, but chalk another rumor up in the Blue Thunder column…

Christopher Nolan’s next movie is about “a pair of aerial helicopter cops, with an older mentor and younger lead.”

This confirms the rumour that the film is inspired by Blue Thunder and will be set in a futuristic New York.

I hope he ties this into Escape from New York somehow.

I don't know about you, but "new IMAX technology" and "never-before-used equipment" sounds way more "futuristic helicopter" than "vampire period piece" to me...

Imax CEO Richard Gelfond reveals that Christopher Nolan will be using new IMAX technology for his next film:

If it were any other director, sure, but Nolan filmed a movie entirely about conversations in rooms completely in IMAX.

Well, yeah, but there's a difference between "IMAX" and "never-before-used IMAX equipment." The only "new IMAX technology" for Oppenheimer was shooting parts of it in black-and-white IMAX, which had never been before, and this sounds like something beyond that.
