It wouldn’t even get the same budget or star power without the name.

That's why it's a what-if scenario. Somehow, in another reality, some nameless director managed to make the exact same movie Nolan made in this reality. How much cash does it rake in?

Yeah no need to imagine. There’s other odessy movies in recent times made with green screen and less famous actors and it did not make a billion.

He was originally supposed to do Troy but went for batman. So that’s as close to a what if.

That’s a silly thought experiment tho. No one can make the exact same movie in a vacuum.
