After the announcement, many fans of the director expressed excitement over the news.
Theja Rio, one of the users, punned on the hits he’s directed and wrote, “After reading this I’m having ‘Insomnia’. Losing my memories like ‘Memento’. For far too long, Nolan has been the idol I have been ‘Following’. Nolan has been my hero since the ‘Inception’ of my filmmaking obsession. Remarkable reputation and ‘Prestige’ in the film industry. Christopher Nolan is a ‘Dark Knight’ when it comes to filmmaking. My love for this man goes beyond Interstellar’ (sic).”
Another user, Saurabh Naren, wrote on Twitter, “WHAT! THIS CANNOT BE A JOKE!! tell me how to get an entry! any form? any enrollment? or direct entry on I-card? (sic).”
Nolan is making waves again with his upcoming sci-fi adventure Interstellar, starring Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and veteran actor Michael Caine.
