I'm sorry but that's a reach! How would Nolan know that Hoyte would be able or ever consider shoulder mounting an IMAX camera? He definitely hired him for his work and his work alone. The other advantage came later with experimentations on Interstellar. Also, Nolan isn't a small guy either so he als...

The dinner table photo looks like a AEC meeting.

So $800M is a lock! This is incredible.

I too wonder if she's gonna come back on his next film. To be fair, I think it was as she explained it something out anyone's control but it definitely was stressful to deal with. But Imagine working with a director like Chris, who cut the shooting schedule from 90 or so days to 59 to increase the b...

Dunkirk is stunning so is Tenet and so is Oppenheimer. It’s hard to pick one.
