Warner Bros. wants to bring Christopher Nolan back into the fold.
Warner Bros. is looking to turn around its fortunes as a movie-making giant. In a recent piece published by Variety, Warner Bros. Film Group co-CEOs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy detailed how they're spearheading a shift in strategy at the studio, from locking up and better respecting artists to giving films longer theatrical runs and plenty of marketing.
Nolan and Warner Bros. were tied at the hip for 20 years during which he crafted the excellent The Dark Knight trilogy, his science fiction actioner Inception, and, more recently, the time-bending Tenet. Their strong rapport came crashing down, however, when Warner Bros. began to shift its film release strategy during the pandemic.

"We're hoping to get Nolan back," De Luca told Variety. "I think there's a world." There are signs their relationship is thawing. For one, Warner Bros. sent Nolan a juicy seven-figure royalty check for Tenet as a good-faith bonus for the film with no strings attached.
Warner Bros. may especially come to regret letting Nolan go this Summer when Oppenheimer directly clashes with their own starry blockbuster Barbie on July 21. Neither co-CEO is ready to give up hope yet, though. On the film side, they've committed to supporting artists in a way that simply wasn't true under Kilar. They even managed to sway some top-notch filmmakers like Baz Luhrmann, M. Night Shyamalan, and Matt Reeves to stay aboard the good ship Warner Bros. with massive overall deals.
Nolan isn't committed to another film just yet, so there's still time for Warner Bros. to continue mending the relationship. In the meantime, check out the trailer for his next film Oppenheimer below.
