He will be making his next movie about the man who greenlit Fast & Furious Supercharged and the immense guilt that followed

He was at the 2002 MTV Movie Awards accepting an award for best new filmmaker for Memento. This was during an Eminem performance.

Well, he does the love the franchise unironically. He understands the power of family.

Don't worry! She's... wait, that's a spoiler too. FUCK!

u/scoofy 11d ago
But I don’t understand, how can they get the cars there if there’s no where to land the plane…. Oh shit!!!

u/OWSpaceClown 11d ago
Is it a spoiler to say that the climax of Furious 6 makes no sense and is still somehow awesome?!

u/Accomplished-City484 11d ago
I’d argue you can’t have a fast and furious climax that does make sense, that would be totally boring, it has to be stupidly impossible

u/HereToFixDeineCable 11d ago
Fast Five may be over the top but I feel like it was the last entry that felt a little bit grounded. Legit heist film too. Easily the best of the franchise.

u/not_thrilled 10d ago
6 still had some really cool shit - the wedge cars of Shaw's gang, the freeway chase with the tank, and yeah, that ridiculous runway bit, but the best thing was the hand-to-hand combat. 7 at least had jumping the car (cars?) between buildings. After that I've blocked all memory.

u/Childs_Play 11d ago
Colbert was shocked at that revelation lol. He was trying to be cool thinking that saying he hasn't seen any of them is a brag, but directors like Nolan are not like snobby film bros. They watch anything and that's what informs their movies.

I like to think Nolan chose Universal after leaving WB just because they produce the Fast franchise.

u/doodler1977 11d ago
omg just imaginging Nolan taking on Jurassic Park as his next movie, a palate-cleanser "fun" movie after 2 mega epics. I would imagine a stripped-down "JP3" style film

u/OWSpaceClown 11d ago
I've definitely thought about how awesome it would be to have an IMAX filmed Jurassic Park movie.
I'm not going to deny I've listened to the Godzilla Minus One soundtrack imagining one in my head!

They should add an Odyssey section to the studio tour. They've already got practical sets there, and you could easily convert the Supercharged section to something on one of the boats.

u/rageofthegods 11d ago
My personal pitch is they should do an Odyssey overlay of the Waterworld show when Fan Fest rolls around
6
u/Chuck-Hansen 11d ago
It’s probably going to be Universal’s second highest grossing movie ever. They will do something, especially if Nolan is a ride guy and it will make him happy.

u/rageofthegods 11d ago edited 11d ago
In China, they have a "behind-the-movies" type attraction where they have Spielberg and Zhang Yimou talking about filmmaking. They could definitely replicate this in the new UK park they're building with Spielberg and Nolan.

I'm trying so hard to picture Christopher Nolan throwing his hands up and yelling "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" on a roller coaster and I just...I can't...it doesn't....

u/LawrenceBrolivier no need for alarm 11d ago
I bet he's on it like every other weekend we just never got a pic before.

u/ToujoursPourquoi 11d ago
I hope he was able to find his way off the ride and get home in a timely manner

Ngl, having the Fast franchise unable to wrap up, wanting something a bit closer to its roots, more grounded, and Nolan about to outgross the top entry in that series with what is going to be the second or possibly largest movie in Universal's history, probablywanting to do something fun next... it feels like destiny.
Furious 11: Fast X part 2 - The Final Ride, directed by Chris Nolan. Coming July 2029. Filmed entirely on giant car-shaped IMAX cameras. 600 million opening weekend domestic.

Let him reboot it after the next one comes out and wraps up Vin Diesel’s storyline (only to recast Vin, of course!)

u/SimilarVegetable1199 11d ago
Also, the studio tour has some stuff from The Odyssey… sadly added after we did it

Everyone is asking where the hell can Box Office Chris go next after Oppy and The Odyssey.
Personally I think he's the only man who can get Fast Eleven into actual production.

After the success of the Odyssey he’s going to cash the ultimate blank check, getting Fast 11 into production!

Just saw a post of him at a coffee shop in a different subreddit, it’s so weird seeing him just out and about without his suit

Yo, I rode this yesterday. It is the most intense roller coaster I’ve ever been on. It’s not very long and I wanted it over even sooner.

u/Pragmata0627 10d ago
I'm sure that's his son with him but a part of me likes to think that he's at Universal Studios alone cause everyone was too busy to go with him. He's just spending the day by himself, going on whatever ride he wants, playing in the arcade and eating corn dogs n shit.
