And just like that, there’s a new Christopher Nolan movie on the way—by “on the way,” we mean less than weeks from now. And it's a barely a minute fraction of The Dark Knight or Interstellar's respective size.

The king of the thinking man’s Hollywood blockbuster, Christopher Nolan is one of those filmmakers whose every project is an event, which makes his latest project’s on-the-down-law nature so delightfully refreshing and unexpected. He's quietly made a new short film, titled Quay, about Stephen and Timothy Quay, a pair of Pennsylvania-born and London-based identical twins who’ve earned a large and faithful following for their stop-motion animation work.

Nolan’s short will make its world premiere as part of Film Forum’s larger series THE QUAY BROTHERS – IN 35MM, which Nolan has curated himself and will screen: In Absentia (2000), The Comb (1991) and Crocodiles (1986).
On Wednesday, August 19, Christopher Nolan and the Quay brothers will be in attendance at Film Forum for a Q&A following the world premiere of Nolan’s Quay.

He doesn't need to make smaller movies. He needs to make better ones.

Was wondering if he might follow up his three"big films" with something smaller and more personal, like how Whedon made Much Ado About Nothing after Avengers.

I can't say I've ever heard of the Quay brothers or that I have much interest but the fact he's making what he wants to make is cool.

 

[big ander]

More excited for the Quay retro itself but I'll be sure to catch Nolan's doc as well.

At the very least, it's cool to see Nolan give a stamp of approval for the Quay Brothers to help expose them to a bigger audience.

 

[ImpalingNarwhal]

Cool, I'll look forward to seeing this. I wonder if there will be an official release as well.

Or hire a writer to teach him how to do exposition, and when not to.

I'm on the train home. 3 Quay brothers short films were shown and the Nolan short was shown. I've never seen anything like the Quay brothers' films before. The stop motion was extremely well done. Nolan's short was only 12 minutes long, but it provides a great look into how they make these films.

There was a discussion afterwards where Nolan spoke to the Quay brothers. (Nolan was about 2 feet in front of me, ahhhhh!!!!!!) It was very informative, and they spoke about the making of the films.

Last note : Inadvertently or not, Nolan has confirmed that he is indeed working on another film.
