Memento, The Prestige, Inception. All of these Christopher Nolan helmed movies are as good as (if not better than) his The Dark Knight Trilogy, so you may want to start getting excited about the news that his next project will be Interstellar for Paramount and Warner Bros. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he will direct and produce the Jonathan Nolan penned screenplay which "involves time travel and alternate dimensions in a story that sees a group of explorers travel through a wormhole." It's apparently based on scientific theories developed by a Kip Thorne, a theoretical physicist, a gravitational physicist and astrophysicist at Caltech. Nolan is said to be very close to wrapping up the deal, so there is obviously no word on a cast or release date at this point.

I've got tons of issues with TDKR and I didn't love Inception, but Nolan is brilliant so I'm looking forward to this.

Should be interesting to see how he does with a lot of CGI (assuming he doesn't try to work around it). About time I have a movie to be excited about.

Anyone else think Nolan would be an ideal candidate to direct the Mass Effect movie?

Whatever the movie is I bet it will be brilliant. Chris Nolan doing a movie that involves Time travel and alternate dimensions sounds like pure brilliance. I am very excited for this. A small part of me still wants some Batman even though it isn't going to happen.

First thing I thought was something like Sliders. I loved that show when I was a kid.

Time travel? Alternate dimensions? Two of my favorite sci-fi tropes, in a movie directed by the man behind Inception? [Frick] YES.

i love his ensemble of regulars, but it would be cool to see a few new faces added to the nolan lineup. gotta keep michael caine, though :)

anyways, im mostly thrilled to hear he's gonna do another original AND that it was penned by jonah. jesus this is great news. i don't think its fully sunk in yet.

@Manofsuperguy

You just went full retard, never go full retard

J.Nolan has written and been a part of every single Nolan movie. Goyer, Chris, AND Jonathan wrote each installment of the Batman trilogy.

And Jonathan is primarily responsible for the bulk of Memento I'd say.

Troll harder somewhere else. This isn't an established franchise, let Nolan add his own original movie to the genre.
