Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan has said his latest epic, 'The Odyssey', has renewed his interest in exploring the horror genre, though he stressed that he would only take on such a project if he finds the right story, according to People. Nolan, whose adaptation of Homer's epic is currently playing in theatres, told The Hollywood Reporter that the horror sequences in 'The Odyssey' have left him eager to delve deeper into the genre. 

"They don't need to beg me to tell a horror story anymore. Just buy a ticket," Nolan joked, referring to the film's chilling moments, including Odysseus' encounters with the Cyclops and the witch Circe. Speaking about the possibility of directing a full-fledged horror film, Nolan said, "It very much whets my appetite for more. But I've always believed that horror as a genre has to be approached very carefully from a conceptual point of view. In other words, you have to have an amazing idea."
