Action-Adventure TENET

Wow, I remember how ho-hum you were about Dunkirk @jmc , so that's surprising to read indeed. But yeah I agree. It's not my #1 fave of his, but it's definitely top-tier Nolan, imo.

Something about it the second time around clicked. I don't know what it was, but for whatever reason it was like I watched a different movie. When the Little Ships arrive, and when the Spitfire lands, it's all amazing now. It's rare I watch a film a second time and it comes across as completely different experience.

Dunkirk is masterful. People say it's one of their least favorite Nolan films and I quite frankly don't understand that.

I can understand it. That said, I think it's the type of movie that once you know how it's structured it works significantly better. It's not often I encourage people to watch movies they don't like again, but I really think Dunkirk is the type of movie that really requires 2 viewing before making up ones mind.
 
Reminiscence

After reading the script, eh, this ain't Nolan's new movie. This gave me more 'MUTE' vibes than it did Blade Runner. Not an event film whatsoever. I can see this being a good get for Netflix, but it won't make money on the big screen. I can see Nicholas Windin Refn making this or even Snyder, but not Nolan. I also take back the comments about this being a female lead story. This story would get bald Nolan hate over the use of the main female character.

A good script, but can't see Nolan directing this at all. You take the memories/dreams moments in the script under NWR, and they become a visual spectacle, but emptiness, nothing.

Especially that ending... :hehe:

Kroll’s teasing a big news tomorrow. Nolan related maybe?

So it seems Kroll's big news today was Invisible Man at Universal.

Yeah I just saw it. I can only imagine how all the trades are hustling trying to get the scoop on Nolan’s cast. :hehe:
 
Can't wait until Fandom sees this light, friendly jab and decides that Soderbergh is their enemy.
 
I’m glad Lisa is directing it. Nabbing Hugh is a huge get.
 
Black Hats

I'm currently reading this right now and I know is a looong shot, but damn if I don't want to see Nolan adapt this book one day.

The world has changed around Wyatt Earp since his glory days as a lawman in the wide-open towns of the Western frontier. Now in his golden years, he's a private detective in Los Angeles—and the mistress of his late partner Doc Holliday wants him to help turn Doc's errant son away from the shady path he's chosen to walk in New York City. And there's another good reason for Earp to mount an iron horse headed for the wild, wild East: a reunion with his old friend Bat Masterson, who's traded in his shooting iron for a sportswriter's pen.

But a new breed of big city badmen roars in the '20s—organized cold-killers toting machine guns in lieu of six-shooters. And in the midst of the Jazz Age glitter, two aging, legendary enforcers could be headed for their final showdown with a brutal, hot-headed young gangster . . . named Al Capone.
 
Christopher Nolan defends cinema-going, talks next film in keynote speech

Christopher Nolan has delivered a heartfelt love letter to cinema and the theatrical experience to exhibitors gathered at the annual UK Cinema Association conference in London today.

The UK-born, US-based director of films including the Dark Knight Trilogy, Interstellar and Dunkirk, said he is “about to start shooting” his next film with Warner Bros and will be working with exhibitors to maximise its effect.

Nolan said he “will certainly be asking [exhibitors] to really help us, and asking you to be our partners in terms of putting on a show for the audience and giving them a reason to come out for the evening, and engage with the world of cinema which we all love so much.”

Nolan did not reveal any details about his new project or where it will shoot. Warner Bros will release it on July 17, 2020, the same point in the year Dunkirk was released in 2017.

In a pre-recorded, eight-minute, single-take speech to camera, Nolan apologised for not being present at the conference and thanked the audience “for everything you’ve done for me and for my films and for the audiences who’ve come to my films in the past. And thank you in advance for everything you’re going to do for me on the next film.”

He told the exhibitors “what we never want to forget is the idea of showmanship…whatever the economic realities are, whatever costs need to be cut or corners need to be cut”.

Nolan is a renowned supporter of both the theatrical experience and the conservation of film projection. He noted how his formative cinema-going experiences contributed to this belief.

“My memories are not just of the films themselves and the amazing adventures unfolding on screen; they’re also of the sense of occasion, of being a young child entering an architectural space that’s so much bigger and grander than myself; the thrill of the curtains opening, moving to enlarge the screen for a widescreen presentation.

“Above all,” he continued. ”My enduring memories are of scale, of the size of screen, the idea of seeing people and places that are larger than life, potentially overwhelming but engrossing and involving.”

“It is a tremendously exciting time to be putting films into cinema,” he said and suggested there are more exhibition options open to filmmakers than ever before.

“It’s been really quite marvellous over the last 20 years to see more of a renaissance, to see more innovation and thought going into the exhibition side, of presenting our films.”

“I’ve actually been really enjoying a lot of my cinema experiences in the UK, in terms of what different cinemas are doing to get the feeling of atmosphere to an audience.”

Nolan said he recognised the challenge posed by home entertainment to the theatrical experience. “The pressure is on us as never before to give people a reason to get out of the house.”

He said that a lot of the responsibility to do that lies with filmmakers, “to use the big canvas that [exhibitors] can supply us, and tell stories in an exciting way, and bring fresh ideas, fresh takes on existing genres and new genres – inventing new genres.”

Exhibitors are partners in that endeavour, he said. “It’s been great to realise that we have partners out there who can innovate, who can build theatres and renovate theatres in exciting new ways to bring new audiences in,and give people a reason to get out of the house.”

Well Nolan is basically saying the same thing Senor Spielbergo is. Let's see if he catches any heat.
 
I don't care what Nolan's next film is about, I'll go see it. He's a vital British film maker.

No, because Spielberg attacked Netflix by name directly. Nolan steered clear of any brand names.
