Christopher Nolan is hinting at his future filmmaking plans!

Recently, “Oppenheimer” filmmaker Christopher Nolan made headlines by favorably comparing Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two” to the “Star Wars” sequel, “The Empire Strikes Back.” Those comments come from a conversation that took place on February 2, 2024, after a screening of Nolan’s sci-fi “Tenet” in IMAX 70mm Film at AMC CityWalk, as the film was recently given a quick theatrical re-release (“Tenet” came out during the pandemic and wasn’t as widely seen theatrically as most of Nolan’s movies, only grossing 365.3 million, given that was the heart of COVID-19 season in summer 2020).

Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards and Features Editor One of the most reliably charming presences on the circuit all season has been Robert Downey Jr. as he speaks about “Oppenheimer,” particularly Christopher Nolan.

Christopher Nolan has revealed that he wants to make a horror movie, but only if the idea is “really exceptional”.The Oppenheimer director was speaking at an in-conversation event at London’s British Film Institute (BFI) on Thursday (February 16), attended by a sold-out audience.When asked by one audience member if he would ever consider making a horror film, Nolan replied (via Variety): “Oppenheimer has elements of horror in it definitely, as I think is appropriate to the subject matter.“I think horror films are very interesting because they depend on very cinematic devices, it really is about a visceral response to things and so, at some point, I’d love to make a horror film. But I think a really good horror film requires a really exceptional idea.

What’s next for Christopher Nolan after “Oppenheimer“? Variety reports that the director doesn’t have exact plans yet for his next film, but he’d consider making a horror movie, so long as the idea was “really exceptional.” READ MORE: Christopher Nolan Wins 2024 DGA Award For ‘Oppenheimer’ Nolan talked about his love of the horror genre at an event at BFI last night in London.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was the surprise warm-up act at a prestigious film industry event in London on Wednesday night that saw Oppenheimer director — and BAFTA and Oscar front runner — Christopher Nolan receive the British Film Institute Fellowship Award for his outstanding contribution to cinema.

Christopher Nolan has responded to Robert Downey Jr.’s recent viral comments, revealing that he was slightly “afraid” of the actor when they first met.The actor – who has been nominated for an Oscar for his performance in Nolan’s latest movie, Oppenheimer – revealed that he had met with the director in the early ’00s in hopes to play the villain Scarecrow in Batman Begins.Downey shared that Nolan didn’t seem interested in casting the future Iron Man star, saying: “He was polite and all that. But you can tell when someone is kind of like, “It’s not going to go anywhere.’”Now, in an interview with the actor for The New York Times, Nolan has confirmed the story.“I 100 per cent knew you weren’t the guy,” said Nolan, who ultimately went on to cast Cillian Murphy in the role of Scarecrow.“In my head that was already cast.

When you think of filmmakers working today in terms of teams, one of the easiest ways to separate them is by their public statements about Marvel films. (Yes, this is reductive, but it’s sadly quite true.) There are folks like Martin Scorsese who famously called out Marvel and franchise filmmaking in general as detrimental to the art of cinema.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Robert Downey Jr. made headlines earlier this month when he revealed that he first met his “Oppenheimer” director Christopher Nolan back in the early 2000s in order to nab the role of Scarecrow in the director’s 2005 superhero tentpole “Batman Begins.” Downey said Nolan wasn’t too interested in casting him, which Nolan fully admitted in a recent interview with the actor for The New York Times. “I 100% knew you weren’t the guy [for Scarecrow],” said Nolan, who eventually cast his “Oppenheimer” leading man Cillian Murphy as the Batman villain.

Oppenheimer‘s steamroll of awards season continued with filmmaker Christopher Nolan walking off with the Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Theatrical Feature Film.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Christopher Nolan appeared on “The Late Show” for a lengthy discussion with Stephen Colbert in which the filmmaker heaped praise on his “Oppenheimer” star Robert Downey Jr., who is widely considered the Oscar frontrunner for best supporting actor. Nolan said he always wanted to work with Downey because of his “generosity” and “charisma.” The director went on to call Downey’s role as Iron Man, which birthed the Marvel Cinematic Universe and carried it for a decade, one of the most important casting decisions ever made. “With anybody you work with, with actors…you’re looking for some kind of connection emotionally, empathetically,” Nolan said about being drawn to Downey.

Christopher Nolan has spoken about his 2020 film Tenet and criticisms that the film is too convoluted to follow.Speaking on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Nolan spoke about the complexities of his films, touching on Tenet’s time-bending themes in particular.When asked by Colbert if viewers have to “get” Nolan’s films or if they can just experience it, the filmmaker said: “If you experience my film you are getting it. I feel very strongly about that. I think where people encounter frustration with my narratives in the past, sometimes I think that they’re slightly missing the point.

Christopher Nolan had a Shakespearian moment when he came to The Late Show. In a reverse of Marc Antony, he came to praise Robert Downey Jr., his Oppenheimer star, not to bury him.

Bridgerton. But, apparently, that's not the case.Speaking to , the 28-year-old described the the instant fame she got when the show premiered in 2020 as incredibly fulfilling after years of working hard for her big break.“I’m still just coming down from it,” she told the newspaper. "Shooting season one of Bridgerton was probably the happiest I’ve ever been in my life.”And while since the Netflix series, like last year's psychological thriller film Fair Play, Dynevor said she's been a bit disappointed by the material she's been offered since her star turn.

When you look at the creative level most people hope to achieve when crafting a sci-fi/fantasy film, the original “Star Wars” trilogy is really that high water mark, particularly ‘Empire Strikes Back.’ So when anyone compares the upcoming “Dune: Part Two” to ‘Empire,’ that is high praise. But for it to come from the mouth of Christopher Nolan, that makes it a bit more meaningful.

Given so much time has passed, most of the “what if” legends of most superhero films are out there already. For Christopher Nolan’s “Batman Begins,” we all know that Cillian Murphy lost out to Christian Bale for the Batman role.

Christopher Nolan has praised TV series The Curse, calling it “unlike anything [he’s] ever seen on television before”.The Oppenheimer director shared his enthusiasm at a recent screening for the Showtime series, which stars Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder and made its debut last year.While moderating a discussion with co-creators Fielder and Benny Safdie – the latter of whom starred in Oppenheimer – Nolan said: “Congratulations on an incredible show that’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen on television before.“There are so few shows that come along that genuinely have no precedents,” the director added. “I mean, you’re going back to things like Twin Peaks or The Prisoner or Dennis Potter’s Singing Detective — things like that.
