The Official Thread for the Church of Oscar-winning Director and (soon to be) Sir Christopher Nolan

Yeah, I just find it encouraging insofar as it's another indication - along with him name-dropping Bresson in that earlier interview - that he might be trying to say more with less.

Has Nolan ever put out alternate cuts of his films before?  He's never had less than full creative control to my knowledge, so why would he have to?

 

It's apparently increasingly rare for directors to get final cut privilege at studios these days but I can't imagine Nolan hadn't secured it in his contract by Inception at the latest.

Yes, a director who is very famous for bloated self-indulgence making a film well under 2 hours is very significant.

 

He's known for bloated self indulgence?  I mean, wordy screenplays maybe, but....

Its clear he has learned from his obvious failure of Interstellar to communicate to the audience. And he's addressed the glaring shortcomings his previous works have shown.

 

Right, TGP?

Film journalists say it's incredible. It's not about dialog (there isn't much of it) or characters but it's an experience movie.

No, I want to 'experience' it so I'm gonna watch it at home. ;)

I would have figured that you'd jump at the opportunity of a 70mm screening. Nolan and Tarantino are the only filmmakers keeping film alive!

Possibly a fake redhead. I certainly want to call bullshit, but since the IMDb forums no longer exist, I can't discuss it anywhere other than JWFan.

Like I said so many times before (why don't people listen to each other?), ever since the rise of the huge concrete multiplexes, theatrical film projection sucks in Belgium. As a result, I prefer to watch movies on my Plasma screen. I want color, sharpness and contrast! I think I deserve it!

 

 

Though I admit I haven't checked out the local IMAX room for ages.

new score by Zimmer.

 

And even more overwrought than the actual soundtrack!;):lol:

Meh.

 

If Mel Gibson, by far the most old-fashioned out of the three, has moved to digital, that’s really saying something.

Chris Nolan is incapable of doing anything wrong. That's his curse. That's why some people hate him so much. His ascension is indeed The Second Coming.

His ascension is his ascension. His return would be the second coming. As far as I'm concerned, he hasn't come once, yet.

Go to your Zimmer!

For those who haven’t seen it, here’s a comparison video between the 2007 Blu-ray release of 2001 and the new Nolan “restoration”:

 

 

It looks like they ran the film through a bad Instagram filter. If this is indeed how the “restored” version appears, I doubt Kubrick would approve of it.

Good fucking lord. Anyone who works on something like this should be forbidden to go near any old archived film strips again. Even their own, yes, Jim Cameron, looking at your new green skin colors.

I very much doubt the 1968 colours were adhering to the very modern and ugly orange and teal colour scheme. Somehow the Kubrick-supervised Criterion transfer doesn't look like someone literally pissed all over it. Him being an infamous perfectionist who probably wouldn't change his mind at any whim of stupid modern trends, I think that says something.
