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.

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.

Jonathan Nolan reflects on 10 years since the release of INTERSTELLAR. Jonathan originally wrote the script for Steven Spielberg. Loved this insight into the character of Murph and his reaction to seeing that incredible McConaughey sequence. Still my favorite Nolan(s) film.

Oppenheimer almost didn’t have Matt Damon. He was planning to take a break from acting and promised his wife he’d only postpone it if Christopher Nolan called. In what he called a “cosmic bargain,” Nolan did call, offering him the role of General Groves

Tom Hardy’s silent takedown in Dunkirk is a masterclass in tension. Christopher Nolan used real Spitfires and IMAX cameras to make every second feel authentic. Pure cinema.

Christopher Nolan returns to theaters in 47 days. Summer wouldn’t be the same without a Nolan release. Whether it’s Oppenheimer, his three Batman films, Inception, or Dunkirk, Nolan sort of owns the month of July. Well…July’s in sight. We’re about to have another Nolan Summer.

Christopher Nolan conceived the idea for Inception based on his own experiences with lucid dreaming and the concept of ‘dream architects’ who could control dreams. He spent nearly a decade developing the script before the film was finally made.

For Dunkirk (2017), Christopher Nolan consulted survivors and historians to ensure accuracy in uniforms, ships, weather, and timeline. He shot scenes during a small storm but cut them in editing because the real 1940 weather was calm.

Golden Globes host Jo Koy just went off-script after one of his jokes bombed: “I got the gig 10 days ago! You want a perfect monologue? Yo, shut up. You’re kidding me, right? Slow down. I wrote some of these, and they’re the ones you’re laughing at.” #GoldenGlobes2024
