To some, this move away from sci-fi and into spy movies may come as a surprise.

However, after reflecting onNolan’s movies thus far, it actually makes quite a bit of sense.

Many of Nolan’s films center on characters who are somewhat mysterious and gatekeepers of important information.

Nolan also acknowledged that the Bond films have deeply impacted his work.

However, the Protagonist’s role as a secret agent is incredibly similar to a Bondian spy.

His projects are never just action movies or sci-fi flicks.
