How you became a Nolan fan

First Nolan film I saw was Batman Begins. I honestly was not that impressed by it. My brother loved it (he now enjoys ribbing me on how I "Preferred a Michael Bay movie to one by Chris Nolan"), but my sentiment was that it was "great for a movie, but it wasn't 'Batman'." I had this odd idea that it ...

Novels you'd like to see Nolan Adapt?..

To Kill A Mockingbird - I need a remake. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - This could be amazing. War of the Worlds - The book is fantastic and I didn't enjoy Spielberg's direction in the 2005 remake. Ender's Game - A film version of the book would work, brilliantly. Ender's Game is already in...

[SPOILERS] Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate

Nolan asked Marion to act in the movie because he thought she was the only person for that role. So he was even willing to wait for her, as she was pregnant at the time when he originally sought her for the role of Miranda Tate. http://www.vulture.com/2012/07/marion-cotillard-essential-to-christoph...

Novels you'd like to see Nolan Adapt?..

I've mentioned in the "Science Fiction" thread that I'd like to see Nolan adapt Dune, but that's quite a bit longer book (over 200,000 words) than your average novel. I think he would be immensely well-suited in adapting Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Not only is it one of Western Literat...

Nolan's Third Original Masterpiece?

I still like the idea of a Western and Space Horror. But I would like a Epic Historical Action Drama from Nolan. Something like Gladiator,Kingdom Of Heaven,Troy or Braveheart. I could see that being very epic. This is what I would truly like to see as well. Perhaps a film centering on Pericles of A...

A Science Fiction Film

I would die an infinitely happy man [hyperbole may have been employed in the preceding fragment] were Christopher Nolan to adapt Frank Herbert's masterpiece, Dune. I greatly enjoyed David Lynch's adaption, but Nolan (who has shown he is no enemy to three-hour films) would bring such a sweeping scope...

Nolan and Video Games

Christopher Nolan should do a Sonic the Hedgehog film. It's about time he did an animated feature film. If Scorsese can do a PG movie (the incredible Hugo ), Nolan can top him and do a PG cartoon! Right? Guys? Why is everyone pointing their muskets in my direction? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ2...

When will Nolan announce his next project?

I thought that his next film would be about Howard Hughes, but perhaps I was wrong. I was also not aware that Nolan had stated he was taking a break. I certainly do not fault him for it; I'd be tempted to call the whole thing quits and retire for life if I was in his position (likely the very reason...

Nolan set to produce "Batman 4"

Cinebasher.com wonders if Jonathan Nolan will take up the duty of directing "Batman 4"

I am aware that this article represents great speculation, but it is an intriguing proposal.
Still, I would not mind Darren Aronofsky directing the sequel. Conformist opinion, I know.
