Get the director’s chair warmed up.
Christopher Nolan–known to all moviegoers as the man behind the cameras for such box office hits as The Dark Knight trilogy, Tenet and Oppenheimer–may one day helm a horror film. Keep your fingers crossed.
The acclaimed filmmaker–according to a report in Variety–recently said horror films “are very interesting because they depend on very cinematic devices. It’s really about a visceral response to things and so–at some point–I’d love to make a horror film.”
But, Nolan added, “I think a really good horror film requires a really exceptional idea. And those are few and far between. I haven’t found a story that lends itself to that.”
Expounding on all this, Nolan said horror “is a very interesting genre from a cinematic point of view, and it’s also one of the few genres where the studios make a lot of these films. And these are films that have a lot of bleakness and a lot of abstraction. This a genre where it’s allowable.”
