On top of this brief mention of Star Wars, Nolan also revealed to The Daily Beast that he's quite enthralled with Episode VII updates.

"I'm pretty excited to see what J.J. is going to do with that. I'm excited to see that he's shooting on film and actually built the Millennium Falcon," he revealed, according to Slash Film. "As far as whether or not I would have ever done it, the truth is I think I'd be afraid to touch it! He's boldly going where he went before in Star Trek, and it takes colossal balls. I'm a lot more comfortable trying to do my own thing than carrying the weight and expectation of the entire world-particularly 40-somethings like me who live and die with each new bit of information about Star Wars. But I'm very excited to see what he does."
