Having directed the brilliant Arrival (2015), Blade Runner 2049 (2017) and the two Dune movies (2021 and 2024), Denis Villeneuve has already inscribed his name in cinematic history as the acclaimed sci-fi filmmaker.
Here are 7 movies, recommended by the director and available for watching on Prime Video, that guarantee a superior sci-fi experience.
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
It comes as no surprise that this iconic Old Hollywood masterpiece is in Villeneuve’s list. According to his own admission, Kubrick’s epic space opera was his first "cinematic shock" that became his most favorite movie, inspiring him for his own science fiction works.
2. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
Steven Spielberg’s classic drama movie affected not only the 1980’s genre’s features, but also the Dune director’s cinema taste, entering him the world of the French New Wave by assembling Francois Truffaut in its cast, and, obviously, his love for sci-fi films.

How interconnected is everything? From atoms and cells and tiny molecules to galaxies and black holes - it's all connected through space and time and relativity. This overwhelming concept explored in this amusing, psychedelic, mind-melting animated short film. Cosmohedron is created by the Boston-based animator / illustrator Duncan Hatch, who is known for this very hallucinogenic style. There's not much of an intro to it because not much needs to be said: "A surreal journey through the interconnections between all things." Including aliens and other weird creatures, not just humans! Just as Christopher Nolan wrote into the Tenet script: "Don't try to understand it, just feel it." Indeed. That's the best way to watch this one. I'm a big fan of these kind of mesmerizing, trippy animated creations and enjoy featuring them in our Short Film section. I appreciate how many weird characters are in this, I'd happily spend more time...

Christopher Nolan’s movie Memento. (Photo Credit – Instagram/IMDb)
In 2000, Christopher Nolan’s Mememto blew everyone away. The psychological thriller stars Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jorja Fox, and Joe Pantoliano. It’s the story of a man named Leonardo, who has short-term memory loss and must seek revenge for his wife’s death. Due to his forgettable memory, Leonardo had to rely only on photographs. The film is based on Christopher’s brother Jonathan Nolan’s short story, Memento Mori.
It has been 24 years since Memento was released, and Nolan fans consider it one of his best directorials. The movie has twists and turns and moments that will startle you often. But did you know that when the movie was screened initially, the response was not that great? Jonathan Nolan made this shocking revelation.

Robert Pattinson is one of the finest acting talents Hollywood has. From fantasy movies like Twilight and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to sci-fi movies like Tenet, he has proved his range as an actor. With versatility as his middle name, the British actor has now taken up another challenging role.
Robert Pattinson starred as Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves’ The Batman
Academy Award-winning filmmaker Bong Joon-ho chose Pattinson to play the lead role in his film titled Mickey 17. The film is being described as a sci-fi plot with a complex narrative. A filmmaker of Joon-ho’s stature could have picked any actor in the world for the role. But apparently, there was something that drew him into casting Pattinson.

CinemaCon is currently going on in Las Vegas, with theater owners and members of the industry on hand to examine the state of the movie business. One issue that's already come up in a big way is piracy. Motion Picture Association (MPA) Chairman and CEO Charles Rivkin took the stage during the State of the Industry presentation on Tuesday and spoke passionately about the matter of people pirating films. Rivkin boldly claimed that piracy costs theaters an estimated $1 billion at the box office annually right now. But the MPA isn't content to just let that continue, as it's also announced a plan to help fight the problem.
Rivkin revealed that the MPA now plans to work with Congress to enact site-blocking legislation in the U.S. This is not the first time that such legislation has been proposed, but as Rivkin pointed out, more than 60 countries around the world have adopted such measures.

Ramy Youssef may not be a household name, but his self-titled comedy series "Ramy" on Hulu landed him Emmy nominations for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, not to mention a Peabody Award in 2020. So, he's got the right amount of experience and accolades to be called up to host "Saturday Night Live." Furthermore, Youssef is an established stand-up comedian, joining the likes of Nate Bargatze and Shane Gillis as hosts this season. But how did he handle the live sketch comedy of "SNL" in his hosting debut?
Well, Ramy Youssef doesn't seem to have much versatility when it comes to providing a variety of characters, and "SNL" leaned back on familiar formulas like talk shows and game shows, though they still delivered some hearty laughs. But there were also some amusing, peculiar sketches in this episode, and of course, big laughs...

More than eight months (and one Oscar best picture win) after “Oppenheimer” landed in theaters, Christopher Nolan’s historical epic is still finding new audiences.
The film opened over the weekend in its final market, Japan, with $2.5 million from 343 theaters. It placed third on the country’s box office charts after two local offerings, the horror movie “Strange House” and the animated “Haikyu!!” According to Universal Pictures, “Oppenheimer” is the biggest opening weekend of 2024 for a Hollywood release in Japan, surpassing “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” ($1.6 million) and “Dune: Part Two” ($1.3 million).
With these ticket sales, “Oppenheimer” stands at a staggering $965 million globally. It’s a remarkable tally for a three-hour, R-rated drama that mostly takes place in laboratories and the halls of American government. In addition to box office riches, the $100-million budgeted film won seven Oscars, including best picture and director.

Basically, everyone knows Sydney Sweeney at this point. The young actress has had a string of successful projects after her breakout role in HBO’s Euphoria. We on Fiction Horizon have written about her more than once and with her new film, Immaculate, currently airing in theaters, Sweeney is often talking to newspapers and magazines as part of her promotion of the film.
Immaculate is a horror film with a religious subcontext that follows a young woman called Cecilia who has to face the horrors and secrets of a convent in Italy that has become her new home. Sweeney has expressed her enthusiasm over the movie and the role on more than one occasion, but as IndieWire reports, the actress is not proud of all of her past roles and the influence she had over her characters.

Take Kung Fu Panda 4, for example. The film just came out in theaters this month, but guess what? It’s already going to be available for streaming in April (a mere month after its theatrical debut)!

This rapid turnaround reminds of what Christopher Nolan talked about when he was promoting his movie Tenet. He emphasized why theatrical release for a longer run is important.

One does not need to look further than Christopher Nolan when it comes to ‘visionary’ and ‘luminary’ in modern cinema. Renowned for his unparalleled vision, meticulous attention to detail, and boundless imagination, Nolan stands as a titan among his fellow filmmakers for the way he has reshaped the craft.

A recent example is his Oscar-winning film, Oppenheimer, through which Nolan not only impressed but left everyone shocked with how far the bounds of storytelling and filmmaking can be pushed. And so to imagine Nolan directing a horror flick is no less than a dream come true for any fan of the genre. After the director himself expressed his interest in the niche, Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson has the perfect movie waiting for Nolan to make.

There's no one way to play Batman. With "Batman Returns," star Michael Keaton cut more than half his lines, making for a broody, mysterious Dark Knight that fit perfectly among the more outlandish freaks that populated Tim Burton and production designer Bo Welch's nightmare fairytale landscape. For his Dark Knight trilogy, however, Christopher Nolan wasn't afraid to let Christian Bale's Batman bellow multiple lines using his now-famous guttural growl.
Both approaches worked, but there's no doubt Nolan's trilogy presented a much more quotable Dark Knight. Several of Bale's most striking Batman lines have now been solidified in pop culture history, with perhaps his infamously overwrought "Swear to me!" from "Batman Begins" being the most salient example. But Bale's Batman wasn't the only part of Nolan's trilogy that proved infinitely quotable. The director's scripts were a treasure trove of meme-able lines, many of which found their way into mass culture almost immediately.

Christopher Nolan and his wife/producing partner, Emma Thomas, have receied their fair share of acclaim for 2023’s Oppenheimer; now, even the British monarchy is getting in on the action.

"Dune: Part Two" has officially become a commercial success, passing huge box office milestones and creeping towards the $600 million mark worldwide. Director Denis Villeneuve has thus proven wrong those who said Frank Herbert's celebrated "Dune" novel was "unfilmable," especially when you consider the critical response in conjunction with those box office numbers. "Dune: Part Two" might be a bleak blockbuster, but it's so far managed a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a similarly impressive 95% audience score.
It's safe to say, then, that Villeneuve's epic sci-fi sequel is not only a critical and commercial success but perhaps even a box office savior. Back in February, prior to the film's March debut, /Film's Ryan Scott noted that movie ticket sales were down 15% compared to the same point in 2023, and there's not a movie fan out there who isn't aware of the industry's post-pandemic struggles.

If there’s one thing avid enthusiasts of Christopher Nolan know about him besides his affinity for physics and his knack for creating masterpieces, it’s his tech-averse disposition. He himself has admitted to it, although not due to a particular disdain for it. The Oscar-winning director doesn’t resort to online activity when he could use the in-between time to engage in his art.

Still, this characteristic of Nolan’s has become somewhat of an internet joke. And given he can’t escape the jests of the netizens even on (what seems to be) a vacation, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be shaking this reputation off anytime soon!

Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson was confirmed to be playing Sergei Kravinoff / Kraven the Hunter in Kraven the Hunter in May 2021. The film, which is set in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (Ssu), will focus on Kraven, one of the most popular villains in the Marvel Universe. Thanks to Insomniac Games’ 2023 game, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, the character was popularised among a wider audience and now, fans are looking forward to this film.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson in and as Kraven The Hunter
Taylor-Johnson is already under pressure and he has made it clear in his latest interview that he finds it really hard to please the studios as well as the fans. In the past, many of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe films have failed terribly, so fans hope that Sony doesn’t butcher Kraven but Taylor-Johnson seems confident.

“How can a short, blond actor with the rough face of a professional boxer and a penchant for playing villains, killers, cranks, and cads pull off the role of a tall, dark, handsome, and suave secret agent?”
So asks the front page of the website Daniel Craig is Not Bond, one of many fan-sites launched in the wake of the actor getting cast as James Bond for Casino Royale back in 2005. Nearly two decades later, the question seems laughable, as Craig elevated the franchise into something rich and emotionally dense, touching on qualities the series rarely attempted.
The 20/20 hindsight about Craig’s tenure comes in handy with the escalating rumors that Eon Productions have offered Aaron Taylor-Johnson the Bond role. On paper, Taylor-Johnson seems like the safe choice, a conventionally handsome white Englishman, a veteran of big-budget movies such as Avengers: Age of Ultron, Godzilla, and Tenet.

While Taylor-Johnson has not yet played James Bond, he is no stranger to action movies or spy thrillers.
Daniel Craig officially turned in his license to kill following 2021’s “No Time to Die,” and in the three years since, there has been a nearly insatiable stream of rumors about who would pick up the 007 mantle. On Tuesday, all of the speculation seems to have been ended as The Sun reports that British film star Aaron Taylor-Johnson has officially been offered the role, and that the official contract is set to be signed in the next week.
Word of Taylor-Johnson’s candidacy for the role has been well-known since 2022, but he was far from the only major name in the running. Henry Cavill, Idris Elba, Cillian Murphy, and James Norton were all rumored to be in consideration at one point, but it appears that Eon Productions has found its latest spy.

Interstellar is undoubtedly one of Christopher Nolan’s most popular films from his career. The film was Nolan’s first foray into making an epic space film that explored the search for a new planet for survival. The film, like most of Nolan’s films, boasted an impressive ensemble cast led by Matthew McConaughey.

Now that the Oscar winners are known, we can determine the other winners: the studios’ and distributors’ strategic release decisions that impacted results.
Some may reflect genius or gut instinct; others are timing and preparation creating luck. In each case, distribution (or the lack thereof) played a significant role in positioning the films for success — but none of them could be considered a template.
Surprisingly, the universal non-factor appeared to be SAG strike, which constrained promotion. “Oppenheimer” completed most cast appearances in time, while “Killers of the Flower Moon” had press stockpiled from Cannes. The French “Anatomy of a Fall” was unaffected.
“The Holdovers,” along with “Priscilla,” took the biggest chances with their October releases. Both made platform debuts on the same day. Sofia Coppola’s biopic showed a faster response, but Alexander Payne’s film found awards success (as well as a near-equal box office haul and bigger home...

As Christopher Nolan basks in the afterglow of Oppenheimer’s dominant performance at the 96th annual Academy Awards – including a best picture win for the film and a long-overdue best director nod for Nolan himself – speculation is growing about what the British filmmaker will tackle next for his 13th feature. Nolan is typically reticent to speak about future projects; with the director working on a more or less three-year cycle for his last several films, he might not even officially say anything about his new movie until later in 2024 or early in 2025.
But according to rumors that have surfaced online in the past week, Nolan may tackle as his next film a big-screen version of the cult classic TV series The Prisoner, which was broadcast in the UK in 1967 and the US in 1968.

While the 2024 Academy Awards made history in many ways, they also missed some opportunities to go down in the annals of memory. Anyway, Christopher Nolan, the British-American director who finally won an Academy Award after waiting several years, topped the list for Universal Pictures’ Oppenheimer.
On two separate occasions, in 2002 and 2011 for Memento and Inception, respectively, Nolan was nominated for Best Original Screenplay; however, he failed to win. He was again left empty-handed, despite receiving a nomination for Best Director in 2018 for Dunkirk.
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer
At last, he was named Oppenheimer’s Best Director this year. Unexpectedly, it appears that Nolan might not be the real genius behind the glorious achievements of the Cillian Murphy-starrer film, which is based on the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Rather than blaming anyone else for the project’s spectacular successes, fans are now cheering for Robert Pattinson.

At last, he was named Oppenheimer’s Best Director this year. Unexpectedly, it appears that Nolan might not be the real genius behind the glorious achievements of the Cillian Murphy-starrer film, which is based on the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Rather than blaming anyone else for the project’s spectacular successes, fans are now cheering for Robert Pattinson.

The Oppenheimer team has added another feather to their cap with Ludwig Goransson winning the Oscar for Best Original Score. Christopher Nolan’s epic biography has taken the Oscar stage by storm this year, winning almost in all major categories.
This year’s win was Ludwig Goransson’s second Oscar win after Black Panther and is his second collaboration with filmmaker Christopher Nolan after Tenet. Nolan joined Goransson after his regular collaborator Hans Zimmer could not work with him on Tenet due to his commitments to Dune. While the duo created magic together on screen, Goransson did one thing that Nolan could never do with Zimmer, i.e., win the Oscar for his film.
