What do we know about Christopher Nolan’s upcoming new movie? Well, not much really. We know that it is set to be released in July of 2020, that the script has been written and production is slated to commence later this year and that, today, “BlackKklansman” star John David Washington was cast in the lead role. The last bit of news was confirmed by Variety’s Justin Kroll who also mentioned that “one insider described the pic as a massive, innovative, action blockbuster, which will again be shown in Imax.”
I just wrote this on Facebook:
I was a fan of BlackKklansman, but Washington, Denzel's son, didn't particularly strike me as being an out-of-this-world talent that merited a leading role in a Christopher Nolan movie. Then again, you don't really need to "act" in a Nolan movie as much as just be a part of the narrative gimmick that he sets up for his actors. Don't get me wrong, I do love many of his movies, but they are not what you might call "acting showcases.”
