In 2018, Nolan supervised a new 70mm print of Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968), made from the original camera negative; he presented it at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. "USA Today" observed that festival-goers greeted the director "like a rock star with a standing ovation." A year later, Nolan and Thomas received executive producer credits on "The Doll's Breath" (2019), an animated short directed by the Quay brothers. By the end of the decade, Nolan had established a reputation as a "Hollywood auteur" and "star director". "The Cinemaholic" wrote, "A celebrity in his own right, he is one of the most recognizable names in the directing world. He has seen unprecedented success both in commercial and critical space—a rare feat to achieve by all means. There are legions of fans across the globe—and not just in America—who worship him and follow his every move."
