As Christopher Nolan prepares for his latest flick, fans can’t wait for the next chapter in a highly illustrious career. And the yet to be named film has already generated a lot of hype amongst fans, making headlines for its stellar cast.
While his works are a class apart in themselves, what truly makes them special is his vision in always picking the right person for the job, and catapulting their career to the top.
The movie that could have been Timothee Chalamet’s big break
Christopher Nolanis really particular about his casting picks. After all, not everyone can nail the role of Joker. Christian Bale’s Batman is right at the top in the Batman Hall of Fame. And let’s be honest, none of us could have fathomed Cillian Murphy playing the versatile list of roles that he has portrayed in Nolan’s movies.
That is just what Nolan needs to weave his magic. As the legendary director prepares for a new rodeo, it is imperative to take note of everything that he has done over the years.
One of his most renowned projects was the 2014 Oscar winning flickInterstellar.Starring the likes of Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain, the movie went on to rake up $732 million over the course of its theatrical run.

While the movie is memorable for numerous reasons, one such factor was that it wasTimothee Chalamet‘s debut movie. The Matt Damon starrer would be theCall Me By Your Namestar’s first tryst with destiny. And one which, according to Nolan, opened up his path for a trip to Arrakis.
Christopher Nolan cut a lot of Timothee Chalamet scenes fromInterstellar
Recently, two legends had the chance to gather in a single hall on the occasion ofDune: Part Two– FYC Panel. It was supposed to be a spectacle for the fans of cinema, who witnessed the rare sight of Christopher Nolan interviewing none other thanDennis Villeneuve.
While the discussion spanned various topics, theMementodirector drew our attention to how theBlade Runner 2049director found his main man – while watchingInterstellaryears ago.
Denis Villeneuve’s and Frank Herbert’s Timeline is Gone, But Paul Atreides Still Influences Dune: Awakening If You Pay Attention
That sort of brings us very naturally to the performances because Timothee Chalamet gives an incredible performance in this film. And I don’t think there’s anything in the first film that you see, where is this going to go? The full arc of it. I wondered, firstly, I am assuming that after you saw him from Interstellar 10 years ago that you realized what a terrific actor he is.
Continuing the jest, Villeneuve said,
He’s the Muad’dib, right there exactly.
Both the legends had a good laugh over the topic. For they both know that isn’t the case. As fate would have it, Chalamet’s role in the 2014 sci-fi flick was cut short to the extent that he couldn’t help but ‘cry for an hour’ after seeing it.

While that didn’t provide theLittle Womenstar with the big break he was looking for, things would take a turn for the better courtesy his appearance in Indie films likeCall Me By Your NameandLadybird.
The role of Paul Atreides wasn’t far off then. And life would never be the same for him.
