Christopher Nolan has cast Anne Hathaway and Zendaya to star in his next big event film set up at Universal Pictures. They will join the previously announced Matt Damon and Tom Holland.
It was initially reported that the movie would be a vampire horror film set in the 1920s, but this recent report says that all of the “loglines or descriptions of the film that have been published to date are wrong.”
It was also previously noted that “the setting is not present day (although it’s unclear whether it’s set in the past or the future).”
Nolan previously talked about wanting to make a horror film, ”I’d love to make a horror film. But I think a really good horror film requires a really exceptional idea. And those are few and far between. So I haven’t found a story that lends itself to that.”
Nolan went on to talk about what he finds interesting about the horror genre, saying: “But I think it’s a very interesting genre from a cinematic point of view.
“It’s also one of the few genres where the studios make a lot of these films, and they are films that have a lot of bleakness, a lot of abstraction. They have a lot of the qualities that Hollywood is generally very resistant to putting in films, but that’s a genre where it’s allowable.”
I hope that the project does end up being a horror film project, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
The film is set to hit theaters on July 17, 2026.
