Chris Nolan 2017: 10 Movies He Might Direct Next

6. Inception 2

Speaking of sequels, Christopher Nolan€™s 2010 hit Inception ended with questions left unanswered and plotlines unresolved, as well. And as it also made Warner Bros a tidy sum (over $820 million worldwide from a $160 million budget) talk circulated for a while that the studio were €˜desperate€™ for a sequel, and judging by the amount of articles, comments and theories that Inception inspired, audiences would surely flock to see it. Indeed, a sequel to Inception (Reception, perhaps?) could go in several directions. Maybe Cobb is still in a dream, and has to fight his way out. Maybe he isn€™t, and gets drawn back into his old line of work. Perhaps a whole new cast could inhabit a different dreamscape, even. There€™s certainly no shortage of possibilities. But would Nolan ever do it? He€™s never publicly made a comment on the idea of a sequel, so it's impossible to know. There€™s every chance that his 2017 Warner Bros movie could be an Inception sequel, but, again, he€™d need to get working pretty quickly to pull it off in time. That is, of course, if he€™d want to try and follow a film that successful.
