Chris Nolan - Director of Inception & The Dark Knight Rises 

Nolan is the director Hollywood needs... but not the one it deserves.

I wish more directors supported IMAX like Christopher Nolan, instead of everyone jumping on the 3D bandwagon.

Nolan is one of the best underrated directors to this day.

his voice is incredibly soothing

seriously, Nolan is one of the best if not the best current filmmaker Following, Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Inception all of those films are wonderful making blockbuster films that are critically acclaimed as well as his complex story structures proves he has true talent

This guy is the best director/writer ever to me. My favorite movies were The Prestige, Inception and the Batman movies and i din't know they were from the same director until last year!

I think at one point Spielberg was my favorite director but now Nolan is quickly becoming my favorite! Not to mention I'm a big Batman fan so I'm grateful for what he has done to the franchise.

This man is the reason I wanna be a filmmaker. I have always liked movies but I know I want to make movies since the day I saw "Memento". Nolan makes the kind of filmmaking that never disappoints you.

these guys don't do movies just for the sake of doing movies. they always make great films and never has misses. always hit in terms of film quality

literally have seen all of his films, and each one is amazing. Best director out there in my opinion

BEST DIRECTOR OF ALL TIME

what a wonderful filmmaker. he has made many great films. Memento, Batman Begins etc. The Dark Knight is his greatest achievement. I never knew films could be so amazing.

This dude is right up there with the greatest directors of all time. Good job nolan!

This man is so awesome and one of the most talented directors/writers out there. I'd watch ANYTHING he makes.

Christopher Nolan needs to make more movies... really he's the talent the Movie industry needs

Love the way you interview! :D You don't ask nonsense questions like the rest of interviewers and you are very confident when you do! Thank you for uploading! :D

people think of nolan as pretentious. he is not they are just against a truly great director. he is the greatest filmmaker of this generation. if you dont like it you dont have to watch his movies

Chris is brilliant, the way in which he picks his actors is so clever; who would've thought ellen page would work in Inception; who would've thought Heath Ledger would act out a legendary Joker; Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow was brilliant as he was in Inception. For this, and for targeting less popular actors sometimes, I admire him.

this man is a legend in the making so many great movies

In my opinion, Nolan and Paul Thomas Anderson are the two best directors of our generation.

Oh god, i didnt know he was english....thats BADASS

Give Chris a movie and he will make it into pure genius gold !

ALL HAIL MOVIE GENIUS CHRISTOPHER NOLAN.

Agree Saw it first time last year. Stunned at the plot. NEVER seen that before

The key to making a great film is the story and characters. Chirs Nolan knows this better then anyone else

Christopher Nolan has kept a clear eye (and ear) of whats been so wrong with much of the movies for the past several decades, and does is best to stay away from those issues. Although the technology of filmaking has made leaps and bounds, the -soul- of the art has been lost along the way. Thats what his movies has and others lack. hes seeking reality in his Directing, while others direct to seek the movie. which is why his work is so vivid, tangible, plausible and refreshing.

It's not the interview that he needs but the one he deserves!

I havent seen momento yet but my two favorite movies are The Dark Knight and Inception I love Prestige too

this is an interview for tdk not for tdkr

I used this clip in an Auteur Study I did for college on Mr. Nolan. Good times.

What a director! "no not really" hes not afraid to push things away and do what he fees is right.

Happy 40 birthday Nolan! Inception was sooo soo sick, thanks.

Inception was an idea that required more than 10% of the true potential of the human brain. Inception is the best movie i have seen till date. Christopher Nolan is a Genius !!!

Can`t wait for Dark Knight Rises! Nolan is by far one of my top favorite directors

this dude needs a fucking oscar since memento

"i tought Wall E was awful" LOL... i never thought Chris N. as a comedian... Man this guy is a genius... he is one of the smartest filmakers around. and he always makes great movies. The best directors working today are him, Scorsese, Tarantino, Fincher(though Ben Button wasnt a masterpiece i was expecting, technically, it was flawless), Cuaron, Greengrass, Inaritu, and Spike Jonze.

the only movie i will ever watch twice in theaters

im not irish but i definitely have a good friend who is but yea chris nolan is a really superb director for making this

0:32- I'm going to copy this and post it so that people remember it. "We really just followed the story, said, 'Okay, where does the story go?' And I think because the story is dealing with the rise of a criminal response to meet Batman's appearance in Gotham, I think it naturally takes you darker places."

Not even 40 years old yet. Amazing. In time I think he's going to be one of the great filmmakers

legend awesome director its always about the story and that folks is good filmaking

Although he may only be about 39 now, i think he already knows how to direct, approach and discuss his own films as a master-class director like Kubrick or Scorsese.

@Wathen8925 each character in the movie have the roles of a movie crew! Cobb is the artist/ director, Arthur is the assistant director, Saito is the Producer, Eemes is the actor, Fischer is the audience and finally Ariadne is the set designer. Pretty cool no? The whole process of the inception was like making a movie...its cool...but i perceive it as the mold in which the actual story fits into.

Batman Forever...that should be the title... Batman Begins, The Dark Night, and finally Batman Forever... its perfect.

Nolan, what humble guy =)

you give him anything ..........he will turn that into EPIC......

Defenetly on my top 10

I can't believe he made the dark k night trilogy

Love this guy's movies, i'll admit i'm just a fan and not a filmmaker at all. But his work reminds me a lot of David Fincher (Fightclub, Benjamin Button) with his use of flashbacks, music, and just the dark tone of his films in general. I honestly can't wait for Inception.

Great director! One of my all time favorites. If not my number one fan.

I've been reading the comments on here and they have been interesting but I have to say that it does take just as much talent to make a big budget movie like Inception of TDK than a smaller budget film like Memento. And there are reasons for that, one its just as hard to come up with an engaging story and have the action link up to that story. The Second reason is because of size of a production, Inception shot in several countries and they had to build actual props for that movie.

After Batman , I think the next movie project Chris Nolan should restore to glory is either Spawn or Maniac Cop

this man is my idol

@LifelsARiot I saw Dark Knight before Batman Begins. You're not alone. Both movies are the best Batman movies I have seen.

Inception will be another one of Nolan's classics........Leo+Marion+Ellen in one movie=Summer Blockbuster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greatest Director of all time.

@AKIDPRODUCTION09 Yes, Batman: The Animated series which influenced many interpretations of Batman afterwards and my own childhood fascination.

thank you christopher nolan! for bringing a real life batman!

i dont mind the audio, one guy is talking through one speaker and the other is talking through the other :D

@AKIDPRODUCTION09 Yes and what happened to Superman?? It died out after two films. Tim Burton's Batman was the first dark and serious comic book movie. It defined the superhero genre the way it exists today, that was the film that inspired people to make more comic book adaptions. So many people have tried to emulate the feelings and the emotions from that film. Like I said it was the first one to prove that comic book films really meant something and could be profitable. It was an event movie.

I don't care what nobody says Chris is one of the best directors of all time.

It was during watching this video that I realised that my headphones were the wrong way round...

I think in this next film the Lazarus Pit will relate directly to Bane's Venom and maybe even replace it.

@regulator619 Nolan has confirmed it himself that 'The Dark Knight Rises' is in fact the title. It's the perfect title for the third film as no doubt he will rise back up to being Gotham's hero as he was at the beginning of The Dark Knight and it also fits with what Bruce Wayne's father said in Batman Begins - ''Why do we fall?''

To tell you the truth, I don't think even Tim Burton got it right. His 2 movies were OK, but I think this is actually the first time I've seen Batman movies which I was completely satisfied with - that is to say, movies that took him in a "realistic" direction. Of course this is fantasy, but Nolan's movies inserted the character in "the real world", if you know what I mean... although the Penguin in Burton's 2d. movie was pretty gruesome, it was all too much fantasy. Just my 2 cents, anyway.

The guy who save the Batman film franchise. Warner Bros. really made a smart & wise choice when they got Nolan to bring back it back from life support after what Joel Schmucker did with Batman & Robin.

ive always wondered what it feels like to be so dam cool and just know it, god hes awsome!

haha agrred mate, in my mind rodriguez(who i love) is like the friday night action movie director big booms and big action, but with nolan, hes such a great director because of his dialogue, and the way he makes his movies, when I saw memento i was blown away it is still in my opinion one of the top 5 movies ever, and its because the its done shown is like nothing ever seen and nolan is truely a genius

I would like him to direct "Never Say Never" (Justin B) . I bet he would make that into something fucking epic like Star Wars

Write " director interview" to youtube search, and this is the first video that pops out.

The Dark Director Rises

@viniciusb Meh. Actually goes: 1.Memento 2.Inception 3.The Prestige 4.The Dark Knight 5.Insomnia 6.Batman Begins 7.Following (it was still epic though even though it got last place, but it probably isn't for everyone)

@DeadmanInc336 Have you ever seen a film called Bronson? Tom Hardy is the perfect casting choice for Bane. As for how Bane will be portrayed in a realistic fashion, I don't know. I have been following Christopher Nolan since his debut film, The Following and he has NEVER let me down. Batman is my favourite character of all time and Nolan has helped the character reach dizzying heights. He hasn't dissappointed me with any of the characters thus far so, I trust him in bringing Bane to the screen.

He is so incredible amazing.. coolest man alive

@KayWildcat yeah i totally agree, if anyone can do it, its Nolan. I personally feel that the villian has to be someone alot more interesting and extreme than Hugo Strange because i think they need a character with real substance to match the performance by Heath Ledger as the Joker. Thank you for replying :)

Definetely next Spielberg !! Just 7 movies he is already a legend !!!

@GuitarFreak520 "White Knight Rising" would further confuse the subject because Black symbolizes the fall of batman into the dark ages and the over all view of how Batman is considered a Villain now. The over all point I think Nolan is trying to say is that it is a part of "The Dark Knight". look for him to focus in on Bruce Wayne more in this one. Rising is his rise to being the Knight he once was. Over all I can't complain about the name. how bout "Statue of the Knight"?

@supermaustify The Dark Knight isn't the last, he's making Batman 3 and the title of it is The Dark Knight Rises set to open in July 2012. Production will be starting next year.

I predict Mad Hatter and DR. Hugo Strange with Black Mask as the hitman and Bane as his body guard. Which leaves it open For Clayface to be in it as the epic monster that he would make and Blockbuster.

makes me proud to be british! hats off to mr nolan!

I posted that comment a while ago I don't know if I compared them or not I like bolth of them, Tarantino,Rodriguez,Francis Ford Coppola,Clint Eastwood,George Lucas, and Steven Speilberg are my favorites not quite in that order.

@19Wylds95 You do know that Nolan never was the one that actually said Riddler was in this one. It was only the people from his side. He knew from the minute of Heath's unfortunate tragic event, that he had to change the story (because he had planned to use the Joker for the third film), but according to HIM, he has never been optimistic about keeping The Riddler in the next film....

@neoYTPism sounds like he's saying "I thought Wally was awful" as in referring to Wally Pfister, the cinematographer for TDK

what a terrific filmmaker, what a great man, I would follow that man to hell and back! lol

i dont understand why they put a "skip this add" button on here when you already know everybody is gona click it nobody wants to see adds so why put them on youtube?

would sombody give Christopher Nolan a microphone

@KayWildcat yes i know he was planning on using joker originally, you could even tell from the way the dark knight ended. I was just sayin the riddler was originally gonna be used but nolan didnt want to go through with it as you said. I would love to know who the main enemy will be (im not keen on the idea of Hugo Strange) because they will have to out do themselves to meet the expectations set by the dark knight :)

THE CASTING DETAIL IS CONFIRMED. THE VILLAIN IS BANE (played by Tom Hardy). Anne Hathaway plays S. Kyle. I hope this will be good!!

You got the title right

@jon1980sss wrong, it was amazing. in terms of story and the structure it literally feels like that thick drama film similar to The Departed with incredible action film to keep it the strong superhero film we want. It was directed with such a trademark, that only he could bring the movie alive and the acting was incredible This isn't overrated although I know what you mean. Movies like Avatar is overrated which isn't even half as good as this and yet its 3D has brought its word over its head

I want a modern Batman TV-series starting 2014! And no more movies until it's totally over after 10-15 seasons!

Very intelligent man.

@americanpsycho28 He's right, even Batman: TAS came after Burton's and was inspired by Batman 1989 though it took its own influential road shortly after the pilot.

it sucks that this is the last batman that christopher nolan is doing :( but HOPEFULLY! we'll see some more batman movies.. i think it would be sweet if Frank Miller (Sin City and The Spirit) directed the next set up batman movies in the future

@wantsomecake328 yeah, you're right actually. I thought Nolan was cracking a joke about his own film, but the interviewer did indeed mention Wall-E; I probably didn't catch that the first time. So yeah, he does say Wall-E.

Why is the stereo audio always reversed in these interviews?

He's a movie-genius.

@Kitchwamon Deathstroke is a Teen Titans enemy. But to see him in a live-action movie as the exact interpretation of his comic book design would be a fans wet dream.

@MultiMapas hmm, debatble , but he is certainly the filmmaker of the decade 2000-2009 .

@zoobomafoo1 ha ha, yeah. Sorry for the typo. I meant to say "You can TELL ...". But seriously though, its bat symbol hair !
