Toillion 215 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 After it makes a billion dollars probably lol. My prediction is that it is released for digital late November for Thanksgiving in the US. Then a physical release before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallguy 3,401 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Quote Christopher Nolan Remaking Iconic ’60s Sci-Fi Series Into A Movie Next? I didn't even have to look to know what it was: The Prisoner. It would be so nice if he would bring Jonathan back for this one. I mean, JN already did Prisoner adjacent with Person of Interest. Who of the Christopher Nolan Players would make a great Number Six? Or Two? (Twos.) bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
