Christopher Nolan first imagined Inception as a horror film—about “dream stealers” invading the most private part of you: your mind. Mal’s ghostly presence, the dreamscapes, and the panic of being lost in Limbo are all remnants of that darker vision.

For Dunkirk, Christopher Nolan kept dialogue minimal so sound, image, and tension told the story. This makes the audience a direct witness. He even considered filming without a script before his wife, Emma Thomas, convinced him otherwise.

VIDEO | Actor Saif Ali Khan says producer Shah Rukh Khan gave the team of "Kartavya" a free hand to make the film the way they wanted. In fact, Shah Rukh was the one who called Saif to inform about the script that they were developing at Red Chillies. "He said, ‘There’s a lovely script, and I would like you to hear it, and do it’. Then I listened to it and met the director. Once the film was complete, he said, ‘It has come out as a lovely movie’. He was very happy,” Saif said. “Sometimes the presence (of Shah Rukh) can be overwhelming on sets and I think he understands that. He gave us room to make the film on our own. I felt I was working for his production with his kind of sensibility,” the actor added. Directed by Pulkit of "Bhakshak" fame, the film stars Rasika Dugal opposite Saif and the actor said he is a huge fan of the "Mirzapur" star. #ShahRukhKhan

Christopher Nolan originally didn’t even want a script for Dunkirk (2017), planning to restage the evacuation & capture everything with cameras. Emma Thomas shut it down immediately, and Nolan went off and wrote a tight 76-page script, one of his shortest.

A film so goated, Christopher Nolan chose to remake it. He saw the Norwegian Insomnia before his debut film Following (1998). Nolan was so impressed that he saw it twice. It led to Insomnia (2002), starring Al Pacino, Robin Williams, and Hilary Swank.
