Christopher Nolan is looking to take some time off now that The Odyssey is in theaters.
The 55-year-old filmmaker’s latest film just debuted in theaters this weekend, and he’s already revealing what’s next for him.
Nolan‘s last five films were released in three-year increments, but it seems his next movie will have a longer wait!
While speaking on TODAY ahead of the weekend, Christopher shared he wants to take at least three years off before making his next movie.
“I definitely hit the limits of my own stamina and everybody’s stamina, I think,” he said. “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.”
Among the challenges of making The Odyssey was filming it entirely with IMAX cameras.
“This is a format that can put you in the cave with the Cyclops or on the deck of the ship in a way no other imagery or format can,” he explained. “For The Odyssey, I went to IMAX and said, ‘If we’re going to fulfill this dream of shooting a movie that way, this is the one. This is The Odyssey.”
“For the first time ever, I finally realized that dream of doing a whole film that way,” he added.
When asked if we have to wait another three years for his next movie, Nolan quipped, “Oh, at least.”
