Christopher Nolan thought Inception would be a horror film

The director of “Interstellar,” “Tenet” and “Dark Knight” wants to make a horror movie. Christopher Nolan has publicly shared these desires, though he has also noted the importance of finding a “truly exceptional idea” before embarking on a production of this calibre. However, it's not because I haven't tried. Some of his films do contain elements of this genre, however One of them is designed as an actual horror titleAs the director himself revealed in The Telegraph. This is the movie Inception starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Elliot Page:

“I thought about a horror film at first, but over time it turned into this project [’Origen’], a statement. “I was looking for a tool through which dreams could be an important part of the story: The idea that someone could invade your dreams and steal an idea is very attractive to me.According to Nolan, the fact that dreams are perceived as real permeates the entire film.

'Elm Street Nightmare', the classic 80s slasher game, I've already explored the idea of ​​an entity accessing other people's dreamsAlthough the goal in this case was not to steal an idea, but rather to kill the dreamer.

Nolan could not find an “exceptional idea” to make a horror film

During an event at the British Film Institute, Christopher Nolan noted that Oppenheimer – his latest feature film – contains horror elements because he believes they fit the film's subject matter. “I think horror movies are very interesting.”He said. “It's about viscerally responding to things, so I like to make a horror film.” However, the director emphasizes that a good product “requires a truly exceptional idea,” which is not easy to achieve. “I still haven't found the story that leads me to it.”

Nolan also mentioned one of his most famous catchphrases 'The Dark Knight' It was not written by him.
