Christopher Nolan’s new film is ‘length of three movies’, says Robert Pattinson

The 'massive' new film will reportedly have 'shades of Inception'

Christopher Nolan's new film will be his longest yet, according to Robert Pattinson.

The British actor, whose new film High Life will be released in the UK on 10 May, was recently confirmed to appear in the mysterious project alongside Elizabeth Debicki and BlacKkKlansman's John David Washington. Sources have described the film as an "innovative, action blockbuster".

AZ Central now quotes the actor as calling the film "the craziest thing [he's] seen in years," adding: "It's the length of three movies."

It's uncertain whether Pattinson means this specifically. If he does, Nolan's new film could stretch to six hours, which would be... something. Maybe Nolan is considering splitting the "massive" new film into two parts?

Last week, Pattinson revealed he was "locked in a room" by Warner Bros when reading the script in an attempt to prevent spoilers from leaking.

The Hollywood Reporter has described the project as “a globe-trotting adventure that has shades of the mind-bending nature of Inception but does involve the time continuum.”

The film will start production this summer. Pattinson's other forthcoming credits include horror film The Lighthouse - a film whose shoot was so tough he "nearly punched" its director - and Netflix historical drama The King, in which he'll appear alongside Timothée Chalamet.

Christopher Nolan's untitled new film will be released in July 2020.
