Deadline also indicates that previously reported rumors about the film’s plot - which have ranged from a period vampire movie to a reimagining of the 1983 super-helicopter thrillerBlue Thunder- are untrue. What we do know about the film is that it is slated to begin filming in early 2025, and already has a release date set for July 12, 2025. Much like many of Nolan’s previous films, including last year’s box-office and critical smashOppenheimer, it will be released in IMAX. In fact, Nolan will be usingnever-before-seen IMAX technologyto film the picture.
