Christopher Nolan

The coolest examples of movies that use editing like time travel.

These films all have different subjects. But they have hidden meanings.

(The atomic bomb, that is.)

A single viewing just won’t cut it.

Nolan’s next movie is about the creation of the atomic bomb.

Sooooo probably not happening then.

It’s an amazing movie about hope.

The Peacock series premieres this week (but no Nolan, sadly).

But he also said he thinks studios learned the wrong lessons from its release.

All we know right now is the release date.

Christopher Nolan doesn’t do small movies — if he’s going to mount a war picture, you can bet it’s gonna be one of the biggest (and priciest!) to date. He’s seemingly spared no expense for his new film Dunkirk, reportedly corralling thousands of extras, destroying vintage planes, and dominating the land, sea, and air all for a grand new vision of combat. And in order to fully convey the enormity of his ambitions, Nolan went all-in and mounted his production on 70 millimeter film. For laymen, that means he used a larger film strip while shooting to capture more brilliant colors, richer sound, and a greater sharpness of detail. For those who don’t give a hoot, it means this film will rattle your bones.

The game of extremely handsome musical chairs that is staffing up for the next James Bond film continued apace today. The two biggest question marks — who will star as the secret agent extraordinaire, and who will direct him in the new picture — remain unresolved, but a new development may hold a clue as to the future of the franchise. A great ruckus was raised over the fact that the Bond property has entered the marketplace for a new studio overseer, and while the new management has not yet been decided, it’s starting to look like Warner Bros. has the upper hand. And it all has to do with Christopher Nolan.
