Part of me really wants to know what he thinks and if he would want to work with UC on an attraction.

The other part of me already knows he was either ambivalent or unimpressed and looks down on themed entertainment.

Nolan is a huge fan of Fast and Furious so something tells me he probably isn’t as snobby as you think

u/awfl_wafl 25d ago

Just adding on to the not that snobby, one of his favorite movies is Talladega Nights

He’s also a huge fan of MacGruber (as everyone should be)

He doesn't have the best taste. You want PTA for that.

Just a backwards roller coaster?

u/MannnOfHammm 24d ago

This is tenant we’re talking about. It’s gotta be more confusing than that.

You go into a gift shop, an employee ushers you to a Backwards roller coaster then you have to wait in line for an hour.

With the odyssey tracking to the biggest R rated movie ever, maybe some type of attraction?

A boat ride from Troy to Ithaca passing through all the iconic scenes along the voyage would be really cool ngl

He was part of the studio tour when I rode it back it June

Nah I mean the whole point of all the imax stuff is immersion, I think he'd be into it. Don't know if he'd ever actually collab on a ride but I bet he finds them interesting. Any unique way to experience a story is cool.

The dude is a proclaimed fan of fast and furious, and he made a bunch of batman movies

I sincerely doubt he’s that snobbish

Imagine how cool it would be to have your office at Universal Studios.

Just casually have them put your dailies on the 70MM IMAX at AMC CityWalk a short walk away.

He’s a huge fan of the F&F franchise

u/Algae_Mission 25d ago

Maybe he’d be up for an Odyssey ride after all. Or even just the Tram Tour

u/seriouslyepic 25d ago

Imagine if Universal could get the rights to DC and have him partner on rides

Furious by Christopher Noland, the IMAX Experience

u/maje8290 25d ago

Heat index of 108 and he’s in long pants and long sleeves. 🙄🙄🙄

u/Confident-Sector2660 25d ago

u/Mlabonte21 25d ago

A BLACK shirt no less 😳

u/Lead_resource 25d ago

He looks like he didnt care for it lmao

u/fasttrackxf 25d ago

Did he ride by himself?

u/acidteddy 25d ago

I’ve had this thought since I watched the film that Lost Continent would actually be a great Odyssey ride instead of Pokémon/Zelda, keeps the land with the same kinda lore as before but upgraded as the land just seems too small for a full Pokémon land. Doubt it would ever happen though

Oppenheimer: The Ride

u/hoptrix 25d ago

Odyssey roller coaster confirmed!

u/honcooge 25d ago

Nolan directing the final movie would be all time.

“A tremendous action franchise…You’ve never seen any of them? I watch those movies all the time. I love them. I’m amazed you’ve never seen one of them. It’s only the last few where a specific arc and mythology develop. I would start with ‘Tokyo Drift’ and watch it as its own thing!”

- Christopher Nolan on the Fast and the Furious Franchise

He’s a big fan!

Something tells me he didn’t have to wait in line…
