It’s not often the announcement of a release date gets to be big news, but when it’s the release date of Christopher Nolan’s latest film, you can understand exactly why. Warner Bros. have announced the Auber-popular director’s next project will be joining their 2017 release slate, which includes Wonder Woman, Justice League Part One, Ninjago, and the Andy Serkis directed Jungle Book: Origins. What they failed to mention was what this movie will be, leaving us all in the dark of what it’s about, who’s in it, or what genre it exists in.

But the the announcement of a Christopher Nolan, no matter what it is, is a cause for celebration. He hasn’t been resting around the house since the release of Interstellar last year, having directed a documentary short focusing on stop-motion filmmakers Stephan and Timothy Quay, but any details of his latest project have been kept behind a wall of secrecy. No doubt there will be a tidal wave of speculation until we get official confirmation. How long until rumours of him taking on a new Batman movie surface, do you think?
