“I watch those movies all the time”: One of the Most Trolled Franchises is Christopher Nolan’s Guilty Pleasure
Christopher Nolan is one of the most phenomenal directors of this generation. He has been the brain behind critically acclaimed movies like- Interstellar, Inception, Dunkirk, and Memento. Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer went on to become one of the biggest blockbusters of 2023. With the highest number of nominations in the Oscars, Oppenheimer has already dominated the current award season.
During a recent appearance on a famous chat show, Nolan revealed his guilty pleasure and it is next to impossible to believe that he loves watching one of the most trolled franchises Fast And Furious.
One Of The Most Trolled Action Franchise Fast And Furious Is Christopher Nolan’s Guilty Pleasure
Christopher Nolan is a self-proclaimed fan of the Vin Diesel-led Fast And Furious franchise. The Golden Globe Award winner has spoken about his love for the famous action franchise multiple times in chat shows and interviews. Recently, Nolan appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and spoke about his guilty pleasure. He openly confessed his love for the action franchise and said-
“I have no guilt about being a fan of the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise. A tremendous action franchise … You’ve never seen any of them? I watch those movies all the time. I love them. I’m amazed you’ve never seen one of them. It’s only the last few where a specific arc and mythology develop. I would start with ‘Tokyo Drift’ and watch it as its own thing.”
Stephen Colbert grilled Christopher Nolan about Tenet, an action drama that is supposed to be re-released in the theatres later this month. The time-bending narrative of the Tenet made it impossible to understand. While talking about the complex plot of the Robert Pattinson-led project, Nolan said-
“If you are experiencing my film, then you are getting it. I feel very strongly about that. I feel like where people have experienced frustrations with my narratives in the past sometimes I think they are slightly missing the point. It’s not a puzzle to be unpacked but an experience to be had, preferably in a movie theater but also at home.”
Tenet is Christopher Nolan’s most expensive original project which went on to collect $363.7 million on a production budget of $200 million.
Christopher Nolan Was Interested In Watching Greta Gerwig’s Barbie
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie made their way to the theatres on the same day. Both the projects dealt with totally opposite stories- where Margot Robbie’s Mattel doll fantasy drama saw Barbie entering the real world then on the other side Nolan retold the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the greatest men who ever lived. Both Barbie and Oppenheimer made a prominent impact both at the box office and with respect to the critics too.
During an interview with the media outlet IGN in July 2023, Nolan spoke about Barbie and even expressed his wish to watch the movie. He said-
“I think it’s great. I mean, I’ll be going to see Barbie. I can’t wait to see it. I think it’s just great for the industry and for audiences that we have two amazing films by amazing filmmakers coming out the same day. Could spend a whole day in the cinema, what’s better than that?”
He further explained why summer was the best time to release both movies as both projects were released on July 21, 2023. He said-
“Summer, in a healthy marketplace, is always crowded, and we’ve been doing this a long time. I think for those of us who care about movies, we’ve been really waiting to have a crowded marketplace again, and now it’s here, and that’s terrific.”
Both Oppenheimer and Barbie can be streamed on Prime Video.
