Action-Adventure TENET

Guy Pearce wrote this piece about Memento for Empire magazine recently.
Collider said there was a older male to cast for this film so it would cool if Nolan and Pearce reunited for this movie imo.

Debecki does seem like what a human swan would look like.

The accuracy of this statement actually made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that.

 

[OutOfBoose]

I hope Debicki has a substantial role in the film. Gorgeous woman.

But I'm already happy she's in a Nolan's film.

Nice to see Nolan expanding from his regular list of actors.

 

[Schlosser85]

Eh, I usually love his casts but I think he's had a few bad performances in there. Hilary Swank was unbearably annoying in Insomnia. And Matthew McConaughey just acted like he was in a Lincoln commercial in space in Interstellar.

Swank was fine in Insomnia and McConaughey was solid in Interstellar and really strong in the scene where he watches the backlogged messages of his children growing up.

For weak links I’d point to Katie Holmes and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes, and Matthew Modine and Ben Mendelsohn’s hamfest performances, hell even Tom Hardy’s, in The Dark Knight Rises.

 

[David H.]

You shush about Hardy’s Bane, specially when Cotillard literally dozes off at the end.

You dare talk smack on Bane?!!! For shame!

 

[OutOfBoose]

Not worried about acting. All great directors have miscasts or inferior performances sometimes. In nolansies it's mostly the Batman trilogy.

 

[3rdstone]

I'll line up as the folks above and say: Great cast! This will be interesting to follow.

Also, someone caMisc. Filmsll Susan Sarandon and tell her the gold has landed on her bussoms, she'll know what that means. Swing low, sweet chariots.

Well, if you at least manage to get Eternal Gode-.. - errm, I meant Salma- impressed, you always win.

 

[Black Narcissus]

I would only come up for air.

Local Italian news says Nolan was scouting locations in Ravello, Italy for filming.

http://www.ravellonews.it/ravello-s...-set-cinematografici-del-suo-prossimo-lavoro/

Now Nolan is working on a new film project, of which however nothing specific is known, except that among the many sets the city of Ravello was also chosen. It seems, in fact, that in recent days the director has visited the city of the Amalfi coast to explore its most characteristic corners and identify possible film sets

 

[FunkMiller]

What kind of high concepts would you like to see in this movie?

Because this is Chris Nolan, so there will be some!

I’d personally like him to tackle ideas around the concept of multiple realities - not the dream states of Inception, but actual, tangible ‘other earths’.

Seems like ripe material for someone who deals in issues around identity and reality as much as Nolan likes to.

I love multiverse stories - my favourites bring The Dark Tower and DC’s multiverse, so a Nolan movie about the same kind of subject matter would be amazing.

 

[Awest66]

Chris Nolan has in my opinion one of the best track records a director ever. Not only has he not made a bad film, I'd say he hasn't even made a mediocre one.

 

[terry78]

Well..... let's not say things we can't take back.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Maybe he's finally making a spy movie of his own?

 

[Deck Rickard]

Insomnia is a mediocre film. It's so completely average. Nothing is really shocking or surprising, and the performances range from decent (Williams) to average (Pacino) to awful (Swank). And I wouldn't call Interstellar mediocre; it's clearly ambitious but it winds up being a convoluted mess. I like all of his other stuff though, to varying degrees.

 

[LvtLeeTDK]

Big fan of Nolan but IMO his films have going down in the past 7 years.
Begins is a masterpiece. Same for Memento, The Prestige, TDK and Inception. TDKR is a very good movie but not as good as the others. Interstellar is a downright terrible and lazy movie (gosh that 3rd act still makes me cringe) and Dunkirk is okay.

I agree with almost all of that but I feel like Dunkirk is really good, it's just a little hard to follow if you don't know the history or watch Darkest Hour. I almost feel like those films feel like one big movie if you watch them one after the other. But yeah, Interstellar sucks. After he goes into the black hole, the movie turns into a joke.

 

[Persona]

I love Interstellar. It suffers from the same problem that a lot of the big, ambitious Hollywood movies these days have: it's too long and has too much exposition (especially at the end), but the craft is immaculate and I loved the ideas behind it; it's a rationalist trying to express through sci-fi cinema what the idea of "love" means to him and why he has hope for humanity even though logically it would appear that we're basically doomed. I wish the dialogue had been tempered a bit and I wish we just saw visuals at the end instead of McConaughey literally explaining to us what is going on as he is experiencing it, but overall it was a unique and powerful film experience for me. Great in IMAX.

Dunkirk is also a fantastic display of craft and is perhaps Nolan's most focused and aesthetically effective film. And it was the first time he ditched the heavy-handed exposition, which I really appreciated. He made a film that really shows instead of tells. I'd rank them:

1. TDK
2. Dunkirk
3. Memento
4. Interstellar
5. The Prestige
6. Inception
7. Following
8. TDKR
9. Batman Begins
10. Insomnia

I think Matthew was really good in Interstellar.

As did I. Im surprised if anybody had a problem with it

 

[batfan1028]

Does anyone think we might get more info on the film next week at Cinema Con? WB’s presentation is on Tuesday.

 

[HKpowerup]

Is Nolan still continuing his tradition of shooting on film for this next project?

 

[Aximili86]

Hope so. Dedication to real film is about one of the few things the guy has going for him these days. He & Tarantino are seemingly the guys flying the flag as of now.

 

[Dr.]

Is Nolan still continuing his tradition of shooting on film for this next project?

The initial announcement said an “event film” that will “open in IMAX.” Presumably, that means it will be largely shot on 15/70 IMAX. The alternative - digital - is genetically impossible for Nolan.

Is water wet?
