Christopher Nolan's Next Film Is Reportedly a 1920s Set Vampire Horror Film

Christopher Nolan is deep into development with his next big film project with Matt Damon and Tom Holland set to star.

There have been no details regarding the story, but now io9 is reporting that the film will be a vampire horror film set in the 1920s.

This is just a rumor for now, but io9 wouldn’t have posted this information unless it came from a rock-solid solid reliable source. So, there must be some teeth to it.

Up until now, all we’ve known about the film is that “the setting is not present day (although it’s unclear whether it’s set in the past or the future).”

I’ve always thought it would be interesting to see what Nolan would do in the horror genre, and if this is true then it sounds like we’ll get to see that.

Nolan previously said of wanting to make a horror film, ”I’d love to make a horror film. But I think a really good horror film requires a really exceptional idea. And those are few and far between. So I haven’t found a story that lends itself to that.” 

Nolan went on to talk about what he finds interesting about the horror genre, saying: “But I think it’s a very interesting genre from a cinematic point of view.

“It’s also one of the few genres where the studios make a lot of these films, and they are films that have a lot of bleakness, a lot of abstraction.

“They have a lot of the qualities that Hollywood is generally very resistant to putting in films, but that’s a genre where it’s allowable.”

Well, it’ll be interesting to see what Nolan’s new film project will be. We’ll find out soon enough.
