It is on my list. About the last book about Nolan I haven't read. I heard it is good and I will diffinately buy it one day, but now I am in the middle of 'The Dark Knight' by Craig Byrne (featuring production art and full shooting script).

There is a topic for books about Christopher Nolan: http://www.nolanfans.com/forums/viewtop ... f=21&t=366
David emerges from the store slowly. He braces himself against a parked car and then keeps on walking in a nightmarish daze.

WE PULL BACK as David blends in with dozens and dozens of ordinary people, walking on an ordinary street, in an ordinary city.

I wonder that too, because sometime studio exec are hard to impress especially with young filmmaker, in my opinion the way Nolan presented the script of Memento probably wowed them. :thumbup:

Well, the story this:
Following was playing on several Film Festivals, and Nolan was there. He asked people for money for his next movie. Some people stepped up, and listend to Nolan's idea.

Both books are good! I got those! (though it is Byrne, not Byme ;))
