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.
Is Christopher Nolan's next a reimagining of Blue Thunder?

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.
It's hard to trust the source that calls them 'aerial helicopter pilots".
It's about the same as an ad I remember seeing in the Houston Chronicle many years ago, that stated in all caps: FOR MEN ONLYThe Porkchop Express said:

He's going to film himself and other crew in IMAX talking about the movie for the blu-ray directors notes.
Fan art?
Yeah, 100%. Whatever the movie ends up being, we won't see the first images until some point during the first quarter of next year, and then the first poster/teaser trailer likely won't drop until July, seeing as Nolan movies are some of the only movies that actually start advertising a year in advance. If I had to get specific, I'd say the first teaser trailer (and thus the first poster) releases with either Jurassic World: Rebirth on July 2 (considering both are Universal movies) or The Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 25. Superman drops in between those (on July 11), but considering Nolan's bad blood with Warner Bros, I'd be surprised if he releases a trailer with one of their movies.
EXCLU: Christopher Nolan isn’t done adding star power to his next movie as Anne Hathaway and Zendaya are joining Tom Holland and Matt Damon in the director’s next event film https://t.co/VOk69kaRzk

According to @DEADLINE, the summaries or descriptions of Christopher Nolan's next film that have been published so far are wrong.

Blue Harvest
I've gone ahead and written some scenes for Hathaway and zendaya.
You're weird
I am still not believing this, but certainly could be proven wrong. Just seems like a really bizarre choice for him.
Airwolf was so cool!!Apache said:
This is like making a movie about a badass prop plane in the 1950's when dudes are breaking the sound barrier in jets.
This is the age of AI, drone warfare & remotely landing rockets. Not Blue Thunder. Hell, Airwolf was much cooler than Blue Thunder. Everyone knows that, c'mon Nolan.
Jan Michael Vincent!
guess he has been dead a long time by now.

Several rumours have circulated about Christopher Nolan's next film - period vampire thriller, helicopter action thriller - but insiders maintain that nothing comes close to Nolan's real idea.
