Now this is interesting news to me. I mean, I always highly enjoy the actors announcements but what really is exciting is when a filmmaker with a clear set of collaborators suddenly changes one of them. I thought Lee Smith and Nolan were in it for life! I wonder how much editing is Smith gonna be doing with Mendes if the rumors about that project being done in one shot are true... Anyway, that's a pretty damn interesting pick. Black lead + female lead + female editor - Nolan's really doing his best to appease the interwebs

Damn, the editing in Nolan's films was always top notch. Smith is my clear winner for Inception and Dunkirk.
it as a globe-trotting adventure that has shades of the mind-bending nature of Inception but does involve the time continuum.
This however sounds very, very promising.

I have no idea if this is legitimate because it originated at 4Chan, but it seems real enough to me. From Reddit Movies, It is a sci-fi action-thriller about time travel, with two intersecting storylines, one set in the near future and one in the 1950’s. John David Washington and Robert Pattinson are playing scientists who travel from the future to the past and get caught up in a conspiracy involving a femme fatale played by Elizabeth Debicki. Washington is the main, while Pattinson takes on a more antagonistic role.
The mechanics of time travel are unique, with the leads existing simultaneously in both time periods, and having limits to how far they can go and what they can do in the past. Mark Rylance and William Fichtner will be in the movie as supporting characters in the future timeline, while Lucy Boynton is in early talks for a pivotal role in the past timeline. James McAvoy is being eyed for a very important role in the past timeline as well.
The title isn’t locked in yet, but it is being referred by studio heads as Tempus Fugit or simply Tempus.
I'd want to see this, but it sort of feels like it could be a parody type of thing too. Like Elizabeth Debicki has to be the dead wife of John David Washington if this is a parody, lol.

I thought about posting that and decided against it because it's 4Chan, but it does seem to line up with the THR article's decription of the film dealing with the "time continuum." Plus, in the recent book "James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction," Nolan talks a lot about time travel in the interviews with him. If there's any truth to "Tempus Fugit" being the working title, it would be consistent with how Memento began as a short story called "Memento Mori" (another Latin phrase).

Well, if this is a plot for any director to make a movie of it certainly fits Nolan. I'd certainly trust him to make a great film out of this.

Sounds a lot like Inception in that all the rules about this time travel would have zero logic and are all in Nolan's head and the characters would never shut up explaining it.

Yeah, don't trust this source at all, but that plot just fits too well for Nolan/what we know about the project so far, so I'd buy it.

Sounds like Inception mixed with The Prestige.

Time travel is one of the only classic sci-fi element Nolan hasn't done yet, so I could see that happening. But I don't really believe this source, I find it hard to believe the whole premise for a Nolan movie would just leak like that.

'Length of three movies?' What does that mean?

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Nolan decides to mess with traditional cinematic convention and release three films at once, all depicting the same story but from a different vantage point. It would ensure audiences would have to see all three to get "the full story," and it's the exact sort of thing Nolan would attempt to do on a huge scale.
Not saying this is remotely what is going to happen, but I wouldn't be surprised, either.

Well if anyone can get something like that financed, it's him (or Tarantino).

Now that really would be the definition of an “event” film.

Pattinson has been known to exaggerate things in the past, though this at least sounds like something that might be similar in scale and scope to Interstellar and Inception, possibly even bigger. Could Nolan be making his own Cloud Atlas? As far as production goes, I found this:

I read an interesting post on twitter by someone who suggested an idea inspired by Pattinson’s "length of three movies" comment… what if Nolan does something like Lola rennt, but longer with a sequence of story events altered through time travel. We see a story played out three times throughout the course of the film, with each one a modified version. Or each timeline could be told from the perspective of the three characters played by Washington, Pattinson, and Debicki, Rashomon-style.
