Hollywood also accommodates Mr. Nolan’s passion for secrecy. In early 2012, just after the holidays ended, a group of Warner’s top movie executives gathered for an emergency meeting because Mr. Nolan was upset.

The filmmaker had told executives he wanted them to find and punish the person who had talked to the Hollywood Reporter magazine about his plans to alter the sound mix on “The Dark Knight Rises” after audiences had a difficult time understanding actor Tom Hardy’s Bane character in a preview, according to several people with knowledge of the matter.

The executives, who had already traded frantic phone calls while the studio was closed between Christmas and New Year’s, concluded it would be impossible to find the source. It took weeks until the issue was resolved with Mr. Nolan and his wife and producing partner, Emma Thomas, recalled the knowledgeable people.

“Anything touching Chris Nolan is treated at the most heightened level,” said one Warner Bros. employee.
