Christopher Nolan recently told The New York Times that Hollywood studios should take more risks with their blockbusters, because audiences are desperately “looking for something new.”

“If you’re really interested in movies and the history of movies, the one thing you see absolutely is that you have to take risks to succeed. The biggest risk of all is to play it safe,” Nolan said. “That’s what, consistently in mainstream movies, doesn’t work. The audience is looking for something new.”
