By After their box-office and Oscar-winning success together with “Oppenheimer,”filmmaker Christopher Nolan will stick by Universal Pictures for his next feature.
Matt Damon is reportedly in talks to star in the new film which already has a July 17th 2026 theatrical and IMAX release date locked, with plans to begin shooting the project early next year.
This continues the steady three year gap between films Nolan has stuck with since “Interstellar” a decade ago – that film hit in 2014 followed by “Dunkirk” in 2017, “Tenet” in 2020 and “Oppenheimer” in 2023. It’s also in the third weekend of July slot many of his films have opened in over the past fifteen years.
Nolan will be directing from a script he wrote and is producing with his regular producing partner Emma Thomas. Specifics of what the film is about and who else will star is under wraps.
It follows on from reports back in March which indicated that’s when Nolan began writing the film. This will mark Damon’s third time working with Nolan following “Interstellar” and “Oppenheimer”.
Nolan has previously hinted his next film won’t be as “bleak” as “Oppenheimer” but that’s the only hint so far. Some are suggesting we may finally see his long-gestating remake of the iconic British 1960s mystery-thriller TV series “The Prisoner”.
