Nolan's New Cinematographer?

[ComptonTerry]

The thing about Wally is that he's pretty much been an extension of Nolan himself. Nolan is used to having a DP that knows exactly he wants and matches his vision. I think he'll go with someone that matches his own style.

Interesting point. I'm really curious to see who Nolan chooses.

This is crazy but what if Nolan chose......

himself as his new cinematographer?

This is rather disheartening news, and something I was not aware of. Like others have mentioned here, Wally Pfister is synonymous with Nolan. Actually, when cast in that light it is perhaps not so saddening, at least from Pfister's point of view. It should benefit him greatly to work with other directors, maybe letting him express his talents in ways he may not have previously known he desired. Still, much of what I love about Nolan's films is a product of Pfister's camera work. Here's hoping he is free to work on Nolan's next film (a Howard Hughes biopic, if I remember aright).

I am definitely in agreement with jibran on the subject of a potential future collaborator. Emmanuel Lubezki would be a brilliant addition to the Nolan crew. I absolutely adored Lubezki's work on Malick's The Tree of Life, and I would be overjoyed to see these two at work on a film.

I doubt it if he's going to be making big blockbusters. When he shot Following his scale was much smaller. For the types of large scale productions Nolan does these days I don't think he would shoot his own films as well.
