He enjoyed breakout big screen success with Spike Lee's Oscar-winning BlacKkKlansman, and now John David Washington has scored another high profile role. He'll star in Christopher Nolan's mysterious new movie.
Usually when casting information starts to come out about a film, we learn more about the wider story for the project, but that is simply not how Nolan operates. As with the likes of JJ Abrams, he prefers to keep the curtain of secrecy closed around his movies as long as humanly possible.
While there had been rumours about the new film's content, those were debunked, and all that we have to go on is the idea that it's a big action blockbuster that will once again find the director shooting in IMAX. Nolan's producing as usual alongside Emma Thomas and the cameras should be rolling later this year. More news on this one as we get it.
Washington, who also worked on Monsters And Men and The Old Man And The Gun, will make the Nolan film as his next project.
