Christopher Nolan explained that he wanted Tenet to start like a James Bond film, with a mission already underway, pure action, and immediate tension. That is why there is no explanation at the beginning and the audience is thrown straight into the chaos.

Tom Holland says he went directly to Sony chairman to pitch a James Bond idea to him but it didn’t work. “I actually went to Tom Rothman and pitched him an idea for an origin story for James Bond.” “The idea was that you would meet this kid in the SAS. He exceeds in every category, does really well, goes on this mission, and at the end of the mission, is assigned the status of 007, which is, in turn, James Bond.” “But obviously, from a marketing point of view, you can’t make a James Bond film and then reveal at the end of the film that he’s James Bond.” “It doesn’t make sense. No one’s ever going to do…”

Hans Zimmer is such a huge fan of the novel Dune that he turned down working with longtime collaborator Christopher Nolan on Tenet (2020) so he could score Dune (2021).

In this Batman Begins scene, Christopher Nolan wanted the confrontation to rely on tension rather than immediate violence. Ra’s walking calmly into the party is a psychological attack, forcing Bruce to face an enemy in his own world.

Christopher Nolan says The Odyssey is a promise he made to himself at 16, watching a volcano documentary in a dome-screen IMAX in Chicago. Christopher Nolan: "Going to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago when I was 16 years old, seeing a documentary about volcanoes in the OmniMax format, and thinking... why on earth isn't Hollywood using this format? I always wanted to be a director. If I ever got the chance, could I shoot a film in this way?" Christopher Nolan: "I called my friends at IMAX and said, look... if ever we're going to make a film entirely on IMAX, this is The Odyssey. This is the one. Can you find a way to alleviate the limiting factor? The cameras are extremely loud." Christopher Nolan: "What they did is they came up with a way of blimping the camera... a high-tech box that silences it. The thing weighed about 300 pounds. But it let us, for the first time ever, get the quiet scenes, the dramatic scenes, and therefore do the whole film."

Memento earned Christopher Nolan an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay & the screenplay here is one of the reasons I find this film so rewatchable. The stronger a film’s script, the more you notice/learn/catch upon rewatch. That rule applies here. Like Tenet, there are still aspects of the plot here that I don’t fully understand. But to borrow Nolan’s own words, I think a film like Memento or Tenet is less about understanding & more about feeling.

Christopher Nolan Explains Why He Doesn’t Use CGI and Shoots on IMAX Robert Downey Jr.: Why Christopher Nolan doesn’t use CGI. Christopher Nolan: I find CGI, however versatile it is, but it always tends to feel a little safe to me. Christopher Nolan: I think if you want something to have a bit of bite, you’ve got the imagery to a better threat, even if it’s a miniature, even if it’s something very fake, but something real on camera. Christopher Nolan: I think it gives you a better result. Robert Downey Jr.: Why does Christopher Nolan shoot on film? Christopher Nolan: I shoot on film because it’s the highest quality imaging format ever devised, particularly IMAX film, large-format film. Christopher Nolan: Film shows you the world kind of the way your eye sees it. Robert Downey Jr.: Where does Christopher Nolan get his ideas? Christopher Nolan: All over the place. Different on every film. Christopher Nolan: Oppenheimer, I’d been interested in a long time, didn’t know that much about the specifics of his story, then came to the book American Prometheus, and that absolutely got me hooked. Christopher Nolan: So, in the case of Oppenheimer, the idea… I trace it right back to, like, as a kid in the eighties, and we all thought we were gonna die in nuclear Armageddon. Robert Downey Jr.: Absolutely. Me too.

“I genuinely cried when Christopher Nolan wanted to meet me." Samantha Morton starring as the sorceress Circe in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey reveals what it was really like to land a role in the epic film Samantha Morton; I've had times when I haven't worked for a year since making The Odyssey, and at 49, the industry's politics have changed massively, but for me, getting to work with Christopher Nolan in my lifetime is everything, I'm happy now, when I got the call that he wanted to meet me, I genuinely cried. Being part of The Odyssey is incredible because we live in the age of the ego, and this film is the exact opposite of that, it's a deeply human spiritual experience Josh Horowitz: Well, it's funny because you talk about like, I mean, your body of work is amazing

Rewatched MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT. This is the most straight forward "action thriller" of the franchise. It's also the M:I film where the Christopher Nolan influences feel very prominent, from the editing to Lorne Balfe's incredible score. The most thrilling M:I film.

Skyfall is peak Bond. The moment Bond is shot, disappears beneath the river, and the film seamlessly transitions underwater into Adele’s theme and the title sequence is pure cinematic perfection. If only this was the last Craig Bond film rather than No Time to Die.

No Time to Die is the first James Bond film in history where 007 dies at the end. Daniel Craig explained that he only agreed to return for one last movie if his character had a “real ending.” He wanted to close the cycle that began with Casino Royale. Bond’s death was kept secret until the very end, with even some crew members not having access to the final pages of the script.

Christopher Nolan reveals a producer once anonymously called him "a cold guy who makes cold films," a label that stuck with him for years despite Interstellar being his most emotional film. Christopher Nolan: "I had some very brave producer at some point had anonymously said of me, 'He's a cold guy who makes cold films,' years before, and that is sort of stuck on me for several projects." Christopher Nolan: "Interstellar was a project, the reason I was attracted to my brother's first act is it was about family, was about humanity, and it was deeply emotional. And that's the film I wanted to make."
