If you were hoping Christopher Nolan<\/a> would quickly follow The Odyssey<\/a> with another huge blockbuster, I’ve got some bad news.<\/p>\n

After years of anticipation, The Odyssey has finally landed in cinemas, with tickets selling out months in advance. According to Nolan himself, it’s going to be a long wait before we get whatever comes next.<\/p>\n

Speaking about whether people should expect another three-year gap before his next film to Today<\/a>, Nolan didn’t exactly sound optimistic.<\/p>\n

“Oh, at least,” he replied.<\/p>\n

Turns out making The Odyssey was as exhausting as it looked.<\/p>\n

“I definitely hit the limits of my own stamina and everybody’s stamina, I think,” he explained. “I mean, it’s The Odyssey, of course it should be difficult. We’re not doing the job right making a film of The Odyssey if it doesn’t seem difficult.”<\/p>\n

Considering the film involved years of planning, huge practical effects, filming across multiple countries and one of the most star-studded casts ever assembled, it sounds like Nolan’s ready for a bit of a break.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean he’s running out of ideas, though.<\/p>\n

Nolan recently told Empire<\/a> he’s always wanted to make a proper horror film, but said the genre is surprisingly difficult to get right. In his view, there are only a handful of genuinely great horror movies, and the best ones all have an “undeniable” story at their core.<\/p>\n

So while a horror movie could be on his wishlist one day, it doesn’t sound like it’s happening any time soon.<\/p>\n

And despite slowing down between projects, Nolan has made it clear he has no plans to stop making films altogether.<\/p>\n

Back in a 2023 interview with The Independent<\/a>, he said he found it “hard to imagine not wanting to make films.”<\/p>\n

“I will do this for as long as somebody would support me in doing it,” he said. “It gets a bit more challenging to find subject matters that are different enough and also build on what you’ve learnt as a filmmaker, so you slow down to a degree. But I love filmmaking, and in terms of budget, I would do it at whatever level I was able to. It’s something I’ll always do.”<\/p>\n
