Adding Holland to the cast, alongside Damon, is an important point, folks!  While Damon is a long-time Nolan collaborator, this marks Holland's very first time working with this visionary director. Holland had taken a needed break to care for his mental health, a well-deserved moment following that intense work on The Crowded Room. He is not the only individual doing so in a high profile and notable production, and Damon did something similar, pausing work after prior high-pressure production and also taking some time to himself and later starring in Oppenheimer.

The high-profile nature of Holland's casting highlights that incredible reputation Nolan possesses! He is simply the very best and only the top stars even consider working with this legendary director, especially for his very particular and specialized approaches to making movies.  This new film sounds truly impressive. Damon and Holland are the start –expect a lot of familiar names working alongside this impressive list of stars!
