Just over ten years after completing an impeccable trilogy Batman, Christopher Nolan has no intention of rubbing shoulders with the superhero movie again. This is in any case what he assured the French youtubeur HugoDécrypte while he is currently promoting Oppenheimerhis new film which has just arrived in theaters.
In addition, to know if he would be tempted by the realization of a Star Wars film, the scenario writer also answered in the negative, just as he is absolutely not interested in the creation of a series. No, Christopher Nolan simply intends to continue making films by exploring new universes. And retirement then, does he think about it?
Team Scorsese
In another interview this time granted to CinemaBlend, Christopher Nolan addressed this question by comparing two diametrically opposed examples, namely that of Martin Scorsese on the one hand and that of Quentin Tarantino on the other, the first continuing to work at 80 years old while the second decided to put away the camera once shot his tenth film.
“I understand both points of view. It’s addictive to tell stories in the cinema. It’s a lot of work but it’s also a lot of fun. So it’s a bit difficult to imagine stopping voluntarily, ”he conceded, leaning more towards Martin Scorsese. But Christopher Nolan nonetheless understands the position of the director of pulp Fiction.
“Quentin Tarantino has always had this desire vis-à-vis his films. For him, if he feels he can’t live up to the best some directors have done in recent years, maybe it’s better to abstain. And I think that’s a purist point of view. It is the point of view of a cinephile who attaches great value to the history of cinema. »
