10 Recent Movie Rumours That Were Totally WRONG

9. Christopher Nolan's New Movie Is About Vampires (Or "Helicopter Cops")

The nanosecond that Christopher Nolan starts putting a new movie together, the rumour mill works overtime spitting out "leaks" and guesswork about what the Oscar-winning filmmaker might be cooking up.

And this reached a hilarious fever pitch with his now-shooting epic fantasy project The Odyssey. 

But for many weeks before it was confirmed to be a blockbuster adaptation of Homer's epic poem, there were some absolutely wild reports about what he was allegedly making.

First, it was circulated that Nolan's new film would be a 1920s-set vampire movie, which certainly lined up with the director's previous assertion that he was interested in making a horror film.

Then word came out that Nolan was actually making an action thriller about a pair of "helicopter cops," focusing on a mentor and younger protagonist.

Impressively, Nolan's team managed to keep the lid on the truth for two whole months after these rumours started doing the rounds - a testament to the respectful secrecy that the filmmaker's productions command from cast and crew alike.
