Tom Holland says he doesn’t know anything about the Christopher Nolan movie he’s starring in

It probably makes sense to keep Tom Holland in the dark about his project with Christopher Nolan for as long as possible. The actor is notorious for spoiling films, even and especially when there’s a big surprise coming.

Given that history, it’s perhaps unsurprising that Holland doesn’t have much sense of what Nolan’s next movie is about, even though he’s part of the film’s cast.

“It hasn’t started shooting. To be perfectly honest with you, I don’t know anything about it,” admitted Holland on The Dish podcast. “I’m super excited. Everything is very, very hush-hush. I met with [Nolan]. It was awesome. He kind of loosely pitched what it was. And I’m sure when he’s ready, he’ll announce what it is.”

The film, which is expected to film after the new year, stars Holland alongside Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, and Matt Damon. It’s slated for a July 17, 2026, release date with Universal, and there’s already been loads of speculation around what it might be about.

In an interview on Good Morning America in October, Holland confirmed that he had been cast, expressing his gratitude at the chance to work with the two-time Oscar winner.

“When the opportunity came in, it was the phone call of a lifetime. It was reminiscent of getting the call about Spider-Man 10 years ago. It’s an amazing thing for me. I’m super proud, and I’m really, really excited,” he said.

“All I can say is that I’m incredibly excited. And, obviously honored, but that’s all I can say because, to be honest, that’s all I know.”

Hopefully, Tom can keep the movie’s details to himself once he knows a little bit more than he does now.

Dakota Johnson doesn’t know who to love in Persuasion trailer
Anne Elliot looking at the camera in Persuasion.

Compared to Pride & Prejudice, there haven't been quite as many adaptations of Jane Austen's Persuasion. But this summer, Netflix is making a new attempt with Dakota Johnson in the leading role of Anne Elliot. Anne is an intelligent young woman in the 19th century whose greatest regret is that she gave up her engagement with Frederick Wentworth (Cosmo Jarvis) because her family convinced her that he didn't have the right social standing or wealth. It's a mistake that Anne has lived with for years. But in the new trailer for Persuasion, Anne has a chance to make a different choice.

In the scenes from the film, Anne is immediately overwhelmed by Frederick's return to her life as a successful and handsome captain. The pain of their previous relationship lingers even as they become friends. However, there's a big complication in play since another suitor, Mr. Elliot (Henry Golding), has entered the picture. And now Anne must decide whether to pursue her old flame or move forward with a new love.

A hacker who was part of the notorious Dark Overlord group has been handed a five-year prison term for his crimes.

British national Nathan Wyatt was jailed by a Missouri court this week after pleading guilty to conspiring to commit aggravated identity theft and computer fraud in 2016. The group targeted a number of medical-related firms and accounting businesses, remotely stealing data that included personal information belonging to patients and clients. The Dark Overlord then threatened to sell the data on the dark web unless the firms made Bitcoins payment of as much as $300,000. None of the companies are believed to have followed the gang's instructions.

German court ruling says Nintendo doesn’t have to refund e-shop pre-orders

When Nintendo Switch players pre-order a game at a physical retail store, they can usually cancel it before the game's release. However, on the Nintendo eShop, all sales are final.

That controversial policy held up in a German court, though it's pending appeal, and takes away players' right to cancel their buy in the lead-up to launch. It also defines a pre-order as a purchase in its own right, despite delivery coming after money is exchanged.
