Whatever anxiety you felt watching people get killed for not licking a cookie fast enough or standing still for long enough in the first season of Netflix’s Squid Game is nothing compared to what series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk felt while making it. According to the acclaimed South Korean director, the stress of making…
Christopher Nolan continues to assemble quite the cast for his latest movie as THR reports that Lupita Nyong’o (A Quiet Place: Day One) has signed on. As you might expect, there aren’t any details on who Nyong’o might be playing in the film.
The film is already set to star Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, and Zendaya. Production is expected to kick off in early 2025, with Universal already slating the film for an IMAX release on July 17, 2026. In addition to directing and writing the film, Nolan will also produce with Emma Thomas under their Syncopy banner. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but there have been plenty of rumours swirling around, ranging from a period vampire thriller to a helicopter action thriller, but insiders say “nothing has come close to nailing Nolan’s real idea.“
The film will almost certainly be a big production, as the director has previously stated that he has no intention of returning to small-scale movies, not while studios will still give him whatever he wants. “I’m drawn to working at a large scale because I know how fragile the opportunity to marshal those resources is,” Nolan said. “I know that there are so many filmmakers out there in the world who would give their eye teeth to have the resources I put together, and I feel I have the responsibility to use them in the most productive and interesting way.“
Nyong’o has had a great year. She starred in A Quiet Place: Day One, which received rave reviews and grossed $261 million worldwide. She also voiced ROZZUM unit 7134, aka Roz, in The Wild Robot. The movie has been praised by critics as the best animated film of the year and is poised to cross the $300 million mark. A sequel is already in development. Our own Steve Seigh was a huge fan in his glowing 10/10 review. “The first act will leave you in stitches, the second will hug your heart, and the third will blow you away with action, inspirational acts of sacrifice, and closure,” Seigh wrote in his review.

The Star Wars franchise is one of the biggest in the world, but Lucasfilm is clearly struggling to get the next stage of movies off the ground. It’s been nearly five years since the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but it still feels as though the studio doesn’t have a clear plan for what’s next. Sure, there’s been plenty of projects announced, but so many of them have been shelved or are in limbo. However, a report from THR states that when Star Wars does return, Rey (Daisy Ridley) will be playing a role in several movies and that she will be “key to the franchise’s next turn.“
Daisy Ridley was already set to return as Rey for Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s (Ms. Marvel) movie, but it’s looking as though she may have a part to play in the recently announced trilogy from Simon Kinberg (Dark Phoenix) as well. The standalone Rey movie was meant to have been in production already, but it recently lost Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders) as writer. It remains to be seen which project(s) will move forward first, but a source close to the franchise told THR that Rey “is the most valuable cinematic asset, in some ways maybe the only one, Star Wars has right now.“
They’re not wrong. Many of the franchise’s biggest characters have either been killed off, or their storylines have concluded. When it comes to pre-existing characters to work with, another source said, “The closet is a little bare.“
The originally announced Rey movie takes place fifteen years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and finds Rey attempting to rebuild the Jedi Order. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has previously teased the movie: “The First Order has fallen, the Jedi are in chaos — there’s even a question of how many exist anymore — and Rey’s building the New Jedi Order, based on the training that she was given and that Luke imparted on her.” The movie will launch the next chapter of the franchise, with Ridley even saying that it will take it in a “different direction.“
Based on this new report, it seems that the race is on to see which Star Wars project featuring Rey will be the first to be released.
