Could Christopher Nolan’s Next Movie Be a Spy Thriller?
Most of the time, all you can do with a Christopher Nolan project is speculate. For every Dark Knight film, based on one of the most popular characters of all time, or Oppenheimer, based on Kai Bird’s book “American Prometheus,” there’s been an Inception or Interstellar or Tenet, films whose intricate plotting and heady ambition were kept more or less secret from the general public until their first trailers arrived.
