Brace Yourselves for Christopher Nolan’s Upcoming 4-Hour Long Film

Guess who’s starring in it?

The genius behind films like Incepton, Interstellar, and Dunkirk, Christopher Nolan’s next film has been a secret project for too long. However, in a recent interview the Twilight star Robert Pattinson, who will be starring in Nolan’s upcoming project, revealed that the film is expected to be the length of three movies combined.

Here’s what Robert had to say:

Working with these important directors makes you feel more secure in the choices you’re making. Like, I’m doing a big movie with Christopher Nolan after this. It’s the craziest thing I’ve seen in years. It’s the length of three movies.

Depending on what Robert Pattinson considers to be the length of one (feature) film, the rough estimate can vary. On the conservative side of the spectrum, three 80-minute movies would mean that Nolan’s film could be almost 4 hours long. Or possibly even more. While that’s not a completely new phenomenon, it is unusual. Even for those of us in India who are still in the habit of, and wouldn’t mind, sitting for a three-hour film.

However, considering Nolan’s past record of filmmaking, it’s no surprise. His films are hardly known for their concise storytelling. They easily stretch for 120 minutes or more. After all, the man needs to do justice to his fascinating scripts right?

The intrigue doesn’t end there. According to an international entertainment website, Robert Pattinson had to get locked in a room to readthe script and called it “unreal”.

I got locked in a room to read the script – I don’t have it myself. I’ve been a little wary of doing big movies for years and years, but there’s just something about Chris Nolan’s stuff. He seems like the only director now who can do what is essentially a very personal, independent movie that has huge scale. I read the script and it’s unreal.

While there are plenty of rumours about the subject of the film, there’s no official word. So I guess we’ll just have to wait and watch. And hope for our minds to be blown yet again.
