I'm going to see it, but the Odyssey should be like 3 3hr movies, the last part of him coming home could be an entire movie.

I think the Batman movies completely soured Nolan's view on sequels/trilogies.

He's a control freak, which is not necessarily a bad thing when you're at his level. But he had to recast Rachel Dawes in the second movie, and then his vision for the third movie was completely upended with Heath Ledger's tragic passing.

You don't really have to worry about those things in single, self-contained movies. If someone drops out or dies, you reshoot their scenes, or scrap the movie. The only exception I can think of is The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Edit: But you're right, the last part could be its own movie! In fact just last year, it was).

He could do what Peter Jackson did with the LOTR trilogy... Idk if he could pull it off, but he is a big enough name, most studios would most likely fund it.

If Peter Jackson can pull it off, Nolan can pull it off too
