Christopher Nolan Reviews, Interviews & More

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...

Well, Batman fans, the truth you were dreading—but also more than likely expecting—has finally come.  The details concerning the special features for The Dark Knight Rises blu-ray have been released and, well, it may not be what you had hoped for.

While it leaves out a lot of specificities—will there be a commentary track, will there even be a sliver of deleted scenes, etc—Warner Bros. announced the release date of The Dark Knight Rises’ Blu-Ray and DVD via their YouTube account today.  No press release, no breakdown of special content—just a trailer and a release date.

A week ago, we reported on the intriguing—but highly unlikely—rumor that The Dark Knight Rises might be the first Christopher Nolan film to receive an extended cut on home video, featuring whatever was deleted from the theatrical cut (there is confirmation that a Bane origin sequence exists).  Well, Bat-fans, as many suspected, it ain’t happening.

Hey, gang, guess what happened today: a rumor on the internet—rumors on the internet, can you believe it?!—is going around concerning The Dark Knight Rises’ upcoming Blu-Ray release.  Gasp!  Apparently, it’s entirely possible (and wholly unfounded) that The Dark Knight Rises Blu-Ray will features a director’s cut with 30 minutes of more footage (but it probably...

Christopher Nolan has said he's done with Batman. He's been saying it for a while. And even though The Dark Knight Rises is closing in on a Billion dollar worldwide gross, it's unlikely he'll be swayed. But it's not as if he didn't leave Warner Brothers some options, and those options might be pursued in the Justice League movie.

There's a thin line between remakes and reboots. And sometimes, in this business, we makes the mistake of using them as synonyms for each other. But there's a big difference between the two, the main one being that there actually aren't very many movie reboots out there... yet. Remakes there's a ton. Movie reboots on the other hand, aren't as popularized. But that's going to change in...

Yesterday brought us the news that Joss Whedon was returning to write and direct The Avengers 2.  Today, we’ve got news about the other brewing team-up (well, after Guardians of the Galaxy), DC’s The Justice League.  Apparently, Warner Bros. has approached actor-director Ben Affleck to direct the film.

Christopher Nolan actually filmed a scene that would have explained Bane's backstory to us, but when the time came, opted to leave it out of The Dark Knight Rises. In a recent interview with the film's costume designer, she revealed that there was flashback footage that would have probably provided us with a better understanding of Tom Hardy's villainous...

Say what you will about the flaws of The Dark Knight Rises—it’s Swiss-cheesed with more plot holes than the entire Nolan oeuvre combined, it lacks some of the idea-based thematic unity of the previous Nolan Bat films, etc—it’s still an out-and-out spectacle of technical filmmaking.  A little bloodless, yes, but still more comprehensible than anything Michael...

Though there is a possibility there will be spin-offs, or direct sequels, Christopher Nolan has made no secret of the fact that he saw The Dark Knight Rises as his last Batman film.  So much so that he's written a letter about his experience, and as a way to say goodbye.

We're a year away from Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, but there was no way Warner Brothers was going to miss the opportunity to start selling the film with their biggest film of the year, so they attached a trailer to The Dark Knight Rises. In fact they offered two different ones, both with different narrations from Superman's two fathers.

The Dark Knight Rises is Christopher Nolan's conclusion to his Batman trilogy. In a franchise-minded film industry that's a bold choice as most films these days are left open for more. But Nolan swears he's done so we have to believe that he and most of his cast are hanging up their capes and cowls. But do they send Batman out on a good note, or a brown one?

The time has come, fellow readers, to talk of another superhero. Forget The Avengers, forget The Amazing Spider-Man. This weekend rightfully belongs to the capped crusader. While Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises will undoubtedly own the box office, we can't help but wonder if his latest will also be a...

Well, it finally happened—the long-awaited final entry into Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise, The Dark Knight Rises, had its world premiere in New York City.  And, in case you couldn’t be there—and you probably weren’t—we’ve got the full video of the event below.
