The Official Sir Christopher Nolan Church Thread - Oscar-winning Saviour of the Celluloid

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,680]

Yes!

[Jurassic Shark 16,569]

Full of lunatics, in other words.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,680]

Pretty much.

[Edmilson 12,603]

Some people on Twitter are speculating the first trailer might come out next Thursday, probably along with TROS:

Tenet

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,680]

Looks very Nolan

[DiscmanD131 16]

I love how this thread keeps coming back to life :-)

[A24 5,257]

It's mind-bending! 

[Naïve Old Fart 13,232]

Two sharp-dressed men, standing in some sort of plaza. Wow. I'm impressed 

[Edmilson 12,603]

Looks like Inception: The Next Mission for me.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,680]

We need @crocodile to give his opinion, stat!

[A24 5,257]

Do we? I mean, we know crocs will merely do his master's bidding. 

[Jay 46,795]

I just saw this on wikipeida:

On December 19th 2019, an over 6-minute long "Prologue" of the film was shown in front of international IMAX screenings of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

"See the trailer in theaters for maximum effect" - that's a new one

 

I've seen the opposite on TV, where a commercial runs for a film, and at the end it says "watch the full trailer on youtube"

[A24 5,257]

Meh ... trailer doesn't do anything for me.

[crocodile 9,800]

Could be great, could be not so great.

Thou doubts?

 

Et tu, Karol?

Today I doubt everything.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,680]

So be it.... Jedi!

[Edmilson 12,603]

Yeah, it does seem a little like Inception 2. But I like Inception, so we'll see it.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

That voice over dialogue is kinda bad, eh? 

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,680]

Nolan's movies are full of bad dialogue.

[Jurassic Shark 16,569]

You could say it's his trademark.

[A24 5,257]

Nobody quotes it.

I only like bad dialogue when they become funny internet memes. That's why the prequels are so beloved!

Nolan's movies are full of dialogue, of all kinds. His lines are as endless as the space vistas of Interstellar.

[crocodile 9,800]

Yeah, there's good and bad dialogue in his films. Some of his lines are so awkward and convoluted that it's almost impossible to say by a normal person. 😆

Nolan's smart. He knows people reach for their smartphone when there's no dialogue.

His worst dialogue sounds unnatural when spoken. Like it was written dialogue rather than  meant to be spoken.

Yes. Lucas has taught him well.

 

Karol

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,680]

He also has the tendency of having characters explain the themes of the film in dialogue.

 

 

[crocodile 9,800]

Such is a price of making high concept cinema.

 

Karol

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,680]

A lack of confidence in the audience?

Nah, I think he's well aware of how much these things cost and how much their success depends on average Joe being able to follow it.

 

Karol

[Edmilson 12,603]

That's why his movies are always hits, while other "complicated" movies bomb at the box office.

[crocodile 9,800]

What's interesting about Nolan is that not a single of his films bombed and he's been around for the past 20 years now. Even people like Spielberg can't pull this off.

 

Karol

[Xander Harris 9,808]

But then again, Nolan hasn't strayed from his dramatic talky comfort zone like Spielberg and released dreck like The BFG. Every single one of his movies I've seen whether they deal with Batman, space travel or dreaming somehow has a similar feel.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,680]

Spielberg has a far more varied resume as a director. 

 

Image a Nolan directed comedy? Or children's film?

[Xander Harris 9,808]

I can not, sir.

I would like to see one day a children's movie directed by Nolan. Or Aronofsky. Or Tarantino. I mean, even Eli Roth did one, why not them?

[Jurassic Shark 16,569]

The Holiday isn't really a children's movie.

[Edmilson 12,603]

 

I'm actually referring to this movie:

 

 

For Eli Roth to do a family friendly movie pairing Jack Black and a kid, he must've been really desperate for money. Maybe his gruesome torture porn movies were not lucrative anymore?

I've never been a Nolan disciple, Richard. You must be thinking of TGP ...

This poster, as well as the first of the two images posted above, are actually shot at the Oslo Opera House. As it happens, I had business in town when they shot it; as I walked past the Opera House, I noticed lots of closed-off  barriers and commotion on top of the roof (the opera house is designed in a way that you can walk all over it, including the roof). I didn't know then that Nolan & co. were there, but I was told later on. Very cool!

 

As for the film itself, it looks VERY intriguing by the looks of the trailer. Another 'mindfuck' film from Nolan. Love it! Certainly one of the films I'm looking forward to the most next year. Despite my disappointment in having Göransson as composer.
