Christopher Nolan Reviews, Interviews & More
Just a little caveat before we start—don’t expect Christopher Nolan to direct Bond 24. With Interstellar on the horizon, it just can’t happen. OK, continue.
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar keeps slowly but surely moving right along, as news broke earlier this week that Jessica Chastain would be joining Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway (who previously starred as Selina Kyle in Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises) as a member of the cast. And today, the unsurprising news of a...
Zack Snyder—as the director of films like 300, Watchmen, and Sucker Punch, he’s not exactly known for crafting pop masterpieces that serve as cinematic benchmarks of any kind; rather, his films tend to be superficial orgies of CGI and style, with little to no substance beneath their slick, hyperactive surfaces. So it’s with more than...
Filmmaker Christopher Nolan may be the king of Warner Bros when it pertains to their DC comic book movies, but that doesn't mean every single comic book adapted film coming out of that studio will have his stamp on it. There's been rumors flying around for months that Christopher Nolan could have his hand in the Justice League pie, but it turns out they were only...
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar—the project he took over after Steven Spielberg moved on, in which explorers who travel into a wormhole launch “a heroic interstellar voyage to the furthest borders of our scientific understanding”— is coming together at a relatively quick clip. Yesterday, we noted that Nolan is already discussing Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space...
Seeing as how Interstellar is a Christopher Nolan project, and is locked into a November 7, 2014 release date, you can look forward to about another year and a half of vague semi-updates, in which we desperately try to parse meaning from the tiny, tiny crumbs of hints that the hyper-secretive Nolan allows to dribble from the project. Today’s semi-news crumbs? The influence of...
OK, so just in case the headline wasn’t enough prep, here’s the deal—the following will contain SPOILERS concerning the upcoming Superman film by Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan, Man of Steel. Everyone clear on that? Spoilers!
Matthew McConaughey has had something of a charmed time lately—the actor has evolved from playing the smirking lead in the kind of smarmy romantic comedies that are now populated by Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl to starring in such films as Magic Mike, Mud, Bernie, and Killer Joe. It’s been a bizarre and abrupt transition, but one...
After directing some of the most interesting films of the past 15 years (Following, Memento, The Prestige) as well as some of the most successful and zeitgeist-y (The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception), Christopher Nolan has positioned himself as one of the most successful/interesting/frustrating auteurs currently working in film. So...
In a rumor that can’t possibly be true, word is now beginning to spread that Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale will be returning to the character of Batman—with Bale playing the character again in The Justice League, and Nolan overseeing the project, just as he has with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel.
As if Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel didn’t have enough pressure already—it’s Warner Bros/ DC Comics’ first post-The Dark Knight Trilogy comic book film, it has to live up to the first two classic Superman films (and Christopher Nolan’s Batman series), and it has to overcome the variously so-so to absolutely horrible last three Superman films—it now...
While most of Man of Steel, Zack Snyder’s take on the Superman franchise (with a little help from producer Christopher Nolan), is still a mystery, Russell Crowe has recently come out with some spoiler-y information on the upcoming superhero film, and seems to definitely confirm this is going to be in the general ‘dark and gritty’ mode of comic book film, in which we “get into...
Yesterday, news dropped about what would likely be Christopher Nolan’s first film after wrapping up his Dark Knight Trilogy: Interstellar, a film about a group of scientists who travel across time and multiple dimensions via wormholes. Interstellar has been floating around Hollywood since 2006, when Christopher’s brother and occasional...
Because it’s a post-The Dark Knight Rises superhero film (that also happens to produced by Christopher Nolan and written by David Goyer, with a story co-written by Nolan) Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman film, Man of Steel, is all kinds of “dark” and “gritty”—so much so that it appears to have gone full Dark Knight, to paraphrase...
When describing the career of director Christopher Nolan the word "amazing" comes to mind. Beginning at the lowest rung of the independent circuit, he has risen to craft some of the most artistically and commercially successful blockbusters of the last decade. With the epic conclusion to his Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises, hitting shelves this week, now is as...
Warning: The Dark Knight Rises spoilers ahoy! (Seriously, have you really not seen that movie yet?)
The instant news broke that Warner Bros. was launching a The Justice League film, one of the very first questions asked was how the franchise would handle Batman. Christian Bale then stated he...
Just because The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan’s third and final entry into his Dark Knight trilogy, was released in theaters months ago is no reason for the film’s marketing campaign to slow down—after all, they have a December 4th Blu-Ray release and Oscar campaign to think about. As such, Warner Bros. is offering up a peek at the film’s Blu-Ray special features. ...
First we'd like to welcome you to Oscar Scuttlebutt, ScreenCrave's official weekly column for everything pertaining to the Academy Awards. Each week we'll be talking about a different movie or two and how it might fit into the race.
Because it’s a slow news day, longtime Christopher Nolan cinematographer (including The Dark Knight Rises) Wally Pfister decided to help us all out by attacking The Avengers, its cinematography, and the methods director Joss Whedon used to shoot the film. In fact, Pfister goes so far as to call The Avengers an “appalling...
Before you read on be warned that we're going to talk heavy spoilers on the ending of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. All right then, you've got the message, now read on--The Dark Knight Rises co-writer (and brother to Christopher) Jonathan Nolan has recently spoken out about the hotly debated final minutes of the film... sort...
