Someone has to add Memento and The Prestige to their list...

I have heard of them but I have not seen them.

Even Insomnia was entertaining.

That is the one of his I would like to see because I heard it is really really good and it has Robin Williams in it and I have only seen him in comedy movies not more serious movies.

Re: Untitled Christopher Nolan Project (July 17, 2017)

I think The Prestige is Nolan's best work (nearly a flawless craft), but it's not my favorite of his. In fact, as far as technical production goes I would rank his "best" differently than I would rank my "favorites" in general.

Best to worst (and none are bad):

1) The Prestige
2) Batman Begins
3) Memento
4) Insomnia
5) Interstellar
6) Inception
7) The Dark Knight
8) The Dark Knight Rises
9) Following


Favorite to least (and I love them all):

1) Inception
2) The Dark Knight Rises
3) The Dark Knight
4) Interstellar
5) The Prestige
6) Memento
7) Batman Begins
8) Insomnia
9) Following


A lot of these on the favorites list are pretty much interchangeable though if you think about it.

Even though I found inception bad over all people say he has not done a bad movie and I know he has not been around for a long time like say 30 years or something but to have not had a movie that is consider bad is impressive thing because even the best have movies that are not good at some point in time. Nice to see that I am not the only one to like rise more then dark knight lol.

This project has a name, and it is called Dunkirk (based on the allied soldier evacuation on the beaches of France in WWII). It will be shot in IMAX (at least some portions of it) with Hoyte van Hoytema rumored as the DP, and Tom Hardy is cast in it, which will now be the third film he has been in with Nolan (besides Michael Caine, I don't think any other actor has crossed three separate franchises with Nolan).

Nolan is The Man. I will see anything he does, no matter what

AWESOME! A modern take on the Miracle at Dunkirk should be pretty good to see. I know there's a British film that covers that even that came out in 1958. Never seen said movie...Guess I will now

As for this film....I WILL watch this.

Re: Untitled Christopher Nolan Project (July 17, 2017)

I have not been keeping tabs with the production of this project, but three big items to come into play that I've noticed recently are:

1) The majority of this film is shot in IMAX, or so it seems.

2) Harry Styles is in this film.

3) A teaser trailer might play at Comic-Con and/or before Suicide Squad.

As far as the second item is concerned, let's not forget what kind of uproar people had with Heath Ledger, only to be floored. Nolan and Thomas didn't cast him because of his name, after all.

I hope this will be rated R.

I'm a sucker for a good WWII film.

I loved Interstellar too, but then again I enjoy just about anything so I don't know how much my opinion counts. Lol.

I'm definitely excited for whatever this is.

Caught the teaser trailer before Suicide Squad.

You get a few long shots on a beach with a steady cam, some words popping up on screen saying things like, "In crisis and annihilation, survival is victory" or something. The final shot with a bunch of soldiers where you hear a plane/planes overhead. Holy crap, it gets loud. He is not going to hold back with this mix either, much like Interstellar.

Simply a teaser, that's it and that's all. Hopefully this one screams Oscar, if not for the material than the cinematography/direction. Four shots into it and you can already get that feel. Love that look of film! Can't wait to see it on a proper IMAX screen, not one of these LieMAX ones.

I've been waiting six long months for that.

Pretty excited for this movie, yet it's still a full year away.

I loved Interstellar, too...

It was my favorite movie of 2014, for sure, and right up there with Inception for me.

I didn't care for Inception at all. It was way to confusing and boring but I love love Interstellar and all 3 of the dark knight movies.
