Recently, the internet had a field day when a rumor went around revealing that Christopher Nolan doesn’t allow chairs on his set, according to Anne Hathaway, who stars as a lead in Nolan’s Interstellar as well as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. The now-famous quote passing around the internet reads: “If you have chairs, people will sit, and if they’re sitting, they’re not working.”

But in an interview with IndieWire, spokesperson Kelly Bush Novak came forward to deny these allegations. “For the record, the only things banned from [Christopher Nolan’s] sets are cell phones and smoking,” she said. “The chairs Anne was referring to are the directors’ chairs clustered around the video monitor, allocated on the basis of hierarchy not physical need.” According to the spokesperson, the casts and crews of Nolan’s films are welcome to sit wherever and whenever they need and are not prohibited from doing so.
Extras on Nolan’s The Dark Night have confirmed that the sets did in fact have seating for cast and crew members. Aaron Stewart-Anh, who also serves as a lead writer on THOR: METAL GODS, writes to support this in a tweet:
Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film is the highly-anticipated Tenet and was originally slated to premiere July 17th. But due to the surge in Covid-19 cases across the United States affecting film production, Tenet has been pushed back to August 12th.
