“It's almost inherent, but I'm a massive Stanley Kubrick fan. I'm a big admirer of what guys like Christopher Nolan have been able to do. For me, to be able to try to make big films that reach a lot of people, and that hopefully have something to say, is a lofty goal, but that's my goal.” PeopleTryingHas BeensBigsAbleFilmGuyGoalFansHopefullyMassiveInherentLoftyStanleyAdmirerNolanLofty Goals Author:David Brooks
“You get to a certain moment where you realize all those humans who landed on the moon did so in between Chris [Nolan] being born and me being born and no one had gone back since, all these Super-8 films we grew up watching of rocket launches, you get to a certain age and you realize all the speeches about going back, they're speeches, there's no money there, we're not going back.” HumansMomentsAgeFilmCertainRealizingBornGoneGrewMoonSpeechGrew UpRocketsNo MoneyNolan Author:Jonathan Nolan
“Chris [ Nolan] and I have a strange way of working from the non-movie process, where after all these conversations and reading the script and more conversations, Chris went out and shot the films and the first thing he did, he wouldn't show it to me until I had written the music - not out of meanness, or anything, it just sort of seemed an interesting idea to see if there was some synchronicity and letting me use my imagination to the fullest instead of being constricted by cuts and images.” IfsWayFirstsIdeasUseShowsFilmReadingProcessImaginationInterestingCuttingWrittenStrangeConversationShotsScriptsMy ImaginationMeannessSynchronicityNolanInteresting Ideas Author:Christopher Nolan

“[Director Christopher] Nolan has not only crafted the best Batman movie, but arguably the second-best motion picture superhero narrative (topped only by the linked duo of Superman and Superman II). For those who thought Spider-Man and X-Men had a lot to offer, wait till you see where this film goes. Batman Begins is a strong re-start to a franchise that deserves better than it has often been accorded.” MenFilmStrongWaitingOffersDirectorsDeserveNarrativeLinkedSuperheroSpidersX MenMotion PicturesSpider ManSecond BestNolanDeserve BetterDuosBatman Movie Author:James Berardinelli
