Don’t bother calling Christopher Nolan to ask about his films – Casey Affleck already has, and “it was probably a mistake,” he told the audience during an onstage interview at the Zurich Film Festival on Monday.

“I was driving back from school with my son. We were talking about ‘Tenet’ and disagreeing. I said: ‘Let’s settle that,’” said Affleck. He worked with Nolan on “Oppenheimer” and “Interstellar.”
