“Building on the incredibly evocative concept of the original film, we wanted to pose the question: If you could be completely immersed in a fantasy, one in which you could do whatever you wanted, would you discover things a about yourself that you didn’t want to know?” Nolan said in a statement.

Additionally, HBO announced that its new 8-episode comedy series “Insecure,” starring Issa Rae, debuts on Oct. 9 at 10:30 PM ET/PT.
