Robert Pattinson & Elizabeth Debicki Set For Christopher Nolan's New Mystery Movie

While the plot of Christopher Nolan’s next movie remains cloaked in the filmmaker’s usual shroud of mystery, we do know one actor expected to star in it: Robert Pattinson.

Pattinson is in talks to have a leading role alongside BlackKklansman star John David Washington, reports Collider. Washington and Pattinson will be the co-leads of the untitled film, and they will be joined by Elizabeth Debicki (Widows), who was just cast as female lead. Variety got the scoop on that casting today.

All three stars will reportedly be joined by a fourth character, to be played by an older actor (our money’s on that actor being Michael Caine, who has appeared in every Christopher Nolan movie since 2005’s Batman Begins, including a voice cameo in Dunkirk.)

The script, which Nolan recently completed, is being kept under wraps because obviously, and all we know is that it is “a massive, innovative action blockbuster” according to Variety. The film will also be shown in IMAX theaters, as Nolan is a big fan of shooting his movies on the 70mm format. The Dark Knight in 2008 served as Hollywood’s catalyst for exploring ways to shoot their blockbusters on the format.

Nolan’s new movie, which is expected to begin production this summer, will be his first since 2017’s Dunkirk. That WWII-set thriller was another IMAX experience that proved to be a hit with audiences, grossing an impressive $526 million worldwide at the box office. The movie also earned Nolan his first ever Best Director Oscar nomination.

We have no idea if Washington and Pattinson are playing villains or heroes, but we do know we can’t wait to find out.

Warner Bros. will release the movie on July 17, 2020. Plan accordingly.
