Warner Bros. has announced that the next film from critically-acclaimed director Christopher Nolan will be released in IMAX July 17th, 2020. Nothing else is known regarding Nolan’s next project other than it will be an event film (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Christopher Nolan’s last movie, Dunkirk, was released in back in July 2017 to critical success. The film earned eight nominations at the Oscars and went three for eight at the event with wins at the Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Film Editing technical categories.
Although Nolan is known for his work on Inception, Interstellar, and The Prestige, most people know him as the mastermind behind the beloved Dark Knight trilogy. This trilogy dominated the box office when in theaters and has been the golden standard for the success of DC movies since.
Well, that is until Aquaman hit theaters last month. The latest DCEU project has just passed Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises at the box office (worldwide), shocking everyone who thought that a man who talks to fish isn’t interesting enough to receive a solo film. Here’s what Aquaman director James Wan had to say on passing The Dark Knight Rises at the box office:
“For years Aquaman has been an orange-shirted punchline… No one is laughing anymore. And this weekend when the King of Atlantis surpasses the Dark Knight of Gotham City, orange will officially be the new black for Warner Bros.”
