All-Encompassing Christopher Nolan Discussion Thread

[Boom]

Nolan for Moby Dick.

Good or bad fit?

 

[Mysteryman]

I keep getting these unexplainable feelings - almost supernatural visions of Nolan dong the following two films in the future:

Spoiler

11/22/63 - the novel by Stephen King

I don't know why, but the psychological characterizations of King's characters, mixed with the psychology of Nolan's films, mixed with Time Travel, mixed with the JFK Assassination, mixed with weird paradoxes .... It seems like a match made in heaven. Christopher Nolan and Stephen King.

Plus, Nolan likes his numbers. 528491....112263.

And...

Spoiler

Robopocalypse - the novel by Daniel H. Wilson

Just like with Interstellar, this was a film Steven Spielberg was set to direct with Anne Hathaway in the lead role. Spielberg left the project, and I believe Hathaway is still attached.

- Former Spielberg project? Check.
- Reuniting with Hathaway? Check.
- Sci-Fi Action film concerning Artificial Intelligence? Check.

The first one is being made into a miniseries.
And the second one isn't a former project of that director.
He is still attached.
its just on hold for awhile .

Nolan for Moby Dick.

Good or bad fit?

for me, it depends on the script .

 

[CrypticOne]

I'd like to see Nolan tackle the mobster genre. Think it would be incredible. He knows how to put casts together.

That sounds like an intriguing idea .
Has Nolan shown any interest in stories involving the mob?

That's essentially what BB and TDK were about, yes?

 

[Black Narcissus]

I thought there already was a director attached to 11/22/63. Nolan doing it would be juicyyy. Goddamn.

 

[redhawk23]

JJ Abrams is making a show of 11/22/63 for HULU.

 

[antsman41]

I want Nolan to make a Raymond Chandler type film with Fisher Stevens, Val Kilmer, and Brie Larson.

 

[Mysteryman]

Well, Kilmer definitely needs a comeback role.

 

[Deserana]

Wonder what film this was.

Maybe Nolan wanted him for Alfred? Or Ra's?

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

The dad in Inception.

 

[Kane52630]

Or the female chick that turned out to be Tom Hardy.

 

[titansupes]

The dad in Inception.

I was thinking that actually. But then, if you were going to have Pacino in your movie again, wouldn't you want him to have a bigger role?

 

[Deserana]

I imagine this was right after Insomnia. Maybe Alfred?
He also had the look for Ra's.

Pacino did Jack and Jill what the hell did he see in a Nolan film that made him think "nah".

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I was thinking that actually. But then, if you were going to have Pacino in your movie again, wouldn't you want him to have a bigger role?

Eh, Michael Caine played a pretty small part. Sometimes a one scene character by a big actor can happen ("So he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something, his ass".)The dad character is the only role that popped into my head because it's such a big scene and Pacino could have rocked it. I cannot picture him in a Batman movie, let alone Maroni. That role is beneath him.

 

[Deserana]

Looking at Pacino's filmography since Insomnia I dont think a role in Nolan's trilogy would have been beneath him at all.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Maroni's not that interesting/big enough to go to Pacino. A guy like Eric Roberts was the right way to go. For Alfred or Ra's, I can't see it, or any comic book role for that matter.

 

[Schlosser85]

I can't see Pacino as Alfred at all. For one, he's not British.

And Pacino as Ra's? He'd look ridiculously small next to Batman.

 

[:eek:]

Bump. Just because some people just seem too lazy to search for threads.

 

[redfirebird2008]

I want Nolan to stay with WB until he retires or WB goes to pot (not likely). WB has the resources to realize his visions and stories and they have given him cart blanche. If some lesser studio like Sony steals him Im gonna break something.

And WB is better at marketing than a lot of the other studios, as we are seeing with the release of Interstellar. Much better marketing overseas by WB than domestic by Paramount...consequently far better box office overseas than domestic.

But you know Robinov would give Nolan complete creative control at the new Studio 8 company. The question is whether Sony as distributor can do anywhere near as good of a job as WB has done in releasing and marketing his movies.

 

[Lencho01]

He was on Colbert Report. Not sure if I've ever seen him laugh before. Certainly, haven't seen him smile as much as he did.

[redhawk23]

Rumor had it that WB was asking Nolan to direct an adaptation of "Ready Player One."

If that is true it so wrong headed.
