Will Chris ever make a movie again?

Pretty sure I didn't know about 'The Day Shall Come' until it was in post-production, so maybe he's working on something now? But 9 years between '4 Lions' and 'The Day Shall Come'...damn.

I wonder how he supports himself... I assume he does production or script-doctoring or stuff that keeps him active without being in the public eye but one project a decade?

It actually seems like he's semi-retired now. But I imagine he's working on something...

Still just in the research stages. Aiming for production to begin in 2035.

Enough of his past work is on streaming platforms, for him to live a comfortable ife without working. Maybe more modest than comfortable.

He's doing a collab with David Lynch to be released after we're all dead

I spoke to Stewie Lee after a show last August. We had a brief exchange about his Unreliable Narrator doc for Radio 4, in which Morris appeared, talking about algorithms and how they can mutate worldviews. Stew said that Morris was currently working on something in that vein. He's obviously interested in misinformation and radicalisation.

I'd prefer to see him do something other than a film, the sheer amount of work involved relative to how much the format suits his talents isn't worth it.

I thought I'd do a quick search to see if I could find out anything more and this is on the PBJ management site:

QuoteHis most recent feature film The Day Shall Come satirized the wanton injustice of FBI sting operations and he is currently working on projects about the Anglo American Coup in Iran in 1953 and the snake oil of dataism and AI.

Nice! He has definitely mentioned an interest in the Iran coup before... Although PBJ also say that Chris did No Known Cure & 'The Chris Morris Show' when he was 7:

I am positive that wasn't there when I posted my stupid comment about the dates being wrong, I would have noticed that. Googling it does say it was a genuine show by Chris Hall and Mark Bittlestone. Surely it's another mistake?

Likewise, I'm sure I'd have noticed it too, so it's either some strange casual mistake by whoever runs the website, or Chris has control of his own page and every so often amuses himself by fucking about with it (though the latter does seem unlikely, admittedly).

If it turns out he has sort of retired I just wanna say:
