*With a 100 million plus budget.

I mean.. isn't that obvious? Originality nowadays is only coming from the smaller/indies movies. To me movies generally have been pretty shit the last few years. I don't know if this is one of those situations where I imagine the past being better than it used to be. Television has surpassed movies in the last 5-7 years and hasn't looked back.

Weird to see a contemporary Nolan film without any fantastical elements.

That ticking noise bro.

Its time travel.

Completely agree. Tv has overtaken movies and now by a wide margin.

He has come in under budget on all of his films, and ahead of schedule numerous times. His budget isn't an issue.

No just bad extras as always in a Nolan movie.

He has come in under budget and ahead of schedule numerous times with his movies though. His budget isn't an issue.

 

[Lord Virgin]

Could they CGI that dude out of the shot?

Yup - he somehow gets 100+ M to build films not based on pre-existing brand recognition - AND is able to control (or at least have a heavy influence on) how the they are marketed - AND convince studios (well, WB) to pay for actual film*. It's kind of amazing in this day and age for cinema.

*unless it turns out that Nolan/Syncopy is footing the bill for the choice to use film instead of digital.

Liked the end shot and the plane noise slowly creeping up to the title.

Closest thing to modern Spielberg.

This film is probably going to be Tory as heck

His pitches are the same as the end result apparently, so I guess reliability is a key component in Hollowood (from the linked WSJ article in my prev. post)

in contrast to the frantic last-minute reshoots of so many big-budget movies, Mr. Nolan’s work is reliable. He delivers films that are remarkably close to what he originally pitched to his backers. They come in ahead of schedule and under budget. Last April, a time when many summer releases were still far from complete, studio executives saw Mr. Nolan’s first cut of “Interstellar”—nearly identical to the one hitting theaters now.

cant freaking wait

it really is haha, even without Micheal Caine

 

[yanipheonu]

The famous Churchill speech seems inevitable. Wonder who'd they could get to play Churchill?
Who could play Churchill well?

 

[MegaSackman]

Jesus Christopher Nolan always deliver.

Melissa McCarthy?

 

[Dany]

Nolan based god is blessing us with another taste

 

[strafer]

Just watched the teaser. Forgot it was released.

Can't wait to see Tom Hardy in another war movie.

Can't wait to see Tom Hardy in another war movie.

Or even another Christopher Nolan movie for that matter.

 

[RustyNails]

Of all the films, Dunkirk is the one Nolan could have cast Guy Pearce in an ensemble. But no. Why Nolan?

 

[robertsan21]

I dont know, Noland should stick with sci fi stuff, much more interesting.

This war movie based on real events is just not fun. It will be years before we get something new from Noland now

 

[strafer]

Because Nolan doesn't realise that Memento is the best movie he's ever done and is afraid that he will never reach that level of masterpiece again.

He had sex with his wife.

 

[Aurongel]

Guy Pearce is Australian doe...

 

[Guzim]

He had sex with his wife.

Why do you think Michael Caine isn't in this?

 

[strafer]

Guy Pearce is Australian doe...

I'm pretty sure he's american.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

He had sex with his wife.

That would explain this particular Nolan trope.

 

[The_Squirrel_Menace]

I hope the French are not left out in this. I like Nolan's movie, I'm curious to watch his take on Operation Dynamo.

Thought I would share this.

bahaha

Caine am cry

I'm pretty sure he's american.

neither. English, just like Hugo Weaving and Naomi Watts

 

[Staccat0]

I often see Nolan's later movies as exercises in trying to address his own weaknesses as a filmmaker. Hopefully this one gets the human element right. Looks lovely.


Also, I smile when I am angry/afraid. So I'm rooting for that extra.

The Prestige though.
