Christopher Nolan Weighing 2 Options for Next Movie

Christopher Nolan is at the top of the world after Oppenheimer won Best Director and Best Picture at the 2024 Oscars. Now with Oppenheimer in the rearview, all eyes are on what the British auteur will do next. According to a report from Variety, Nolan is weighing two options for his next movie...

I hope it's option 2:

Christopher Nolan Would ‘Love to Make a Horror Film,’ Looking for a ‘Really Exceptional Idea’

Christopher Nolan is in the market to make a horror film provided there is a good enough idea.

[Boom]

Horror film would be preferable but I'll be there no matter what.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

I'm cautiously hoping for horror, preferably a nice ghost story. My worry is that he'd produce something like Hereditary, which bored me silly (despite a great cast).

Hereditary is probably the best modern horror movie, a complete masterpiece, so that would only be positive for me, but I seriously doubt anything like this would fit his style.

 

[Hurm...]

Nolan is much less idiosyncratic than Ari Aster. I don't see him making something like Hereditary at all.

 

[Gothamsknight]

A horror film is my #1 choice for Nolans next film, but I guess we'll see.

Nolan doing horror sounds nice, but the idea of him taking a crack at The Prisoner has been out there for so long I’d really like to see it.

I know he’s a hot commodity thanks to his track record, but surely he must know horror movies are made on the cheap? He’s said he’s not making low to mid budget studio films anymore.

I would love to see Nolan actually do a horror film on an actual horror budget. He’d still get final cut, shoot on film stock and his usual cut of the profits, but he and his actors would have to work for scale and do without certain perks. I can’t see them doing that.

 

[Kane52630]

It's always possible to make a big budget horror film, just look at I Am Legend and World War Z. Hell the 2010 Wolfman movie cost as much as a superhero film.

 

[BatLobster]

If it’s horror, I hope it’s horror/sci-fi, sorta like Nope. I’ll just put my cards on the table and say that I would love Nolan to tackle aliens, lol. Public interest in UAPs has never been more mainstream, the US government has essentially admitted that there’s something there (look up the Schumer Amendment). The time is more ripe than ever to handle something like that with the type of science-driven, quasi-realism that he’s known for. If Oppenheimer was complimentary to Dunkirk (in that they collectively deal with the beginning and end of WW2), I’m interested to see the film that would be Interstellar’s counterpart in a similar sort of way, while still being entirely its own thing.

I think Nolan tackling that kind of subject matter, especially right now, could be extremely prescient and powerful. Of course, I’d be just as down for Talladega Nights 2 or a MacGruber reboot too.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Bloody hell! I'm hoping the bald man can finally embrace his feminine side and give us a female lead! I feel like he can embrace his sexy side as well, like Hitch and Kubrick did later on in their careers. Eyes Wide Shut is one hell of a horror flick. I also believe he can give us a great noir/detective flick with a mixture of Vertigo in there somewhere.

 

[Sawyer]

Just in time, IMHO.

 

[BatLobster]

Vacation, location scout, both?

Vacation, location scout, both?

Probably both.

 

[Dr.]

Hey, he does know how to use a phone.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Probabaly vacation

 

[Kane52630]

It's probably Emma's phone.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I don't overtly care what he decides to do. I am sure whatever he ends up doing will be great

 

[Sawyer]

Literally the only time he’s used the same lead actor multiple times is when he was doing The Dark Knight Trilogy. Not to say he couldn’t do it again with Murphy, given how Oppenheimer panned out, but it hardly seems like a given.

 

[DarkKnight88]

And who’s to say Cillian Murphy wouldn’t basically be the co-lead villain Number 2.

 

[Boom]

Jesse Plemons as #6.
Cillian Murphy as #2.

 

[Drizzle]

I believe Murphy is the actor who's collaborated with Nolan the most after Michael Caine but that's not a guarantee that he'll even be in Nolan's next movie, let alone the lead. After all, he wasn't in Interstellar or Tenet.
