After completing one of the biggest films of his career, Oscar-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan said he is ready to step away from directing for a while. The director revealed that he plans to take at least a three-year break after The Odyssey, admitting that the demanding production tested the endurance of everyone involved.

In a recent interview with Today, ChristopherNolan opened up on the physically exhausting experience of making the epic film. According to the filmmaker, the scale of the project pushed both him and his crew to their limits.

“I definitely hit the limits of my own stamina and everybody's stamina, I think,” he said.

Despite the challenges, Nolan believes a story as iconic as The Odyssey deserved that level of effort. “I mean, it's The Odyssey, of course it should be difficult. We're not doing the job right, making a film of The Odyssey if it doesn't seem difficult,” he added.
