Christopher Jonathan James Nolan (born July 30, 1970) is a British-American film director, screenwriter and producer.

He received serious notice after his second feature Memento (2000), which he wrote and directed based on a story idea by his brother, Jonathan Nolan. Jonathan collaborated with him on later scripts, including the Batman series and The Prestige. He also collaborated with Wally Pfister, who would photograph all his subsequent films. Next he directed the Hillary Seitz written Insomnia (2002), and then pitched an idea for a reboot of the Batman film franchise to Warner Brothers, eventually making a successful trilogy. Inception (2010) was an original screenplay by Nolan, a heist film set in the world of "shared dreaming". Nolan co-founded Syncopy Films with his wife, Emma Thomas, and they have produced all his films since The Prestige (2006).

Nolan has also worked with screenwriter David S. Goyer, film editor Lee Smith, composers David Julyan and Hans Zimmer, special effects coordinator Chris Corbould, and actors Christian Bale, Cillian Murphy, Jeremy Theobald, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe, and Michael Caine.

Nolan spent his childhood in the United States and England, and later studied English literature at University College, London, which he choose specifically for its film-making facilities. There he made a series shorts in the college film society, and met the friends with whom he would later make Following (1998), his independent début feature.

waxes? really dude. But anyways cool find
Spidey91 - 10/13/2011, 3:22 PM
how cool would be a Star Wars movie directed by him?
Supes17 - 10/13/2011, 3:24 PM
very cool. He should have done the prequels lol
Hellsing - 10/13/2011, 3:29 PM
If he directed a star wars movie then the nolanites would need the movie to be "realistic" and "grounded". All jokes aside it would definitely be interesting to see him tackle Star Wars but what would be far more interesting is seeing him Direct a Sandman movie
MarkJulian - 10/13/2011, 4:09 PM
Yes, waxes. But I'll change just because of your lovable snarkiness ._.
RorMachine - 10/13/2011, 4:16 PM
That's interesting..would have liked to hear him go into more detail. And just for the record I saw Star Wars at 7 too and Luke didn't get a [frick]ing look in!
SUPERMAN2013 - 10/13/2011, 4:19 PM
I wonder if there will ever be another star wars movie,if not then I guess ill wait 15/20 years for an entire remake on all 6 lol when lucas is dead
brewtownpsych - 10/13/2011, 4:28 PM
off topic, but i do like the idea of different directors for each bond flick, tarintino for one, nolan for one, favreau, etc.
AsianVersionOfET - 10/13/2011, 4:43 PM
He's too cool
AiyalKilU - 10/13/2011, 4:43 PM
Funny because the best Star Wars film (ESB) wasn't even directed by Lucas. Lucas struck gold with the first one and should have quit while he was ahead instead of killing the saga years later.
OdinsBeard - 10/13/2011, 4:45 PM
He should make ep 7 8 and 9
SuspenseSmith - 10/13/2011, 4:49 PM
@OdinsBeard

[frick] 7 8 and 9. He should remake 1 2 and 3 just like he fixed Batman. If there is one set of films that deserves a reboot, it's the prequel star wars films.
SuspenseSmith - 10/13/2011, 4:50 PM
Imagine the Fall of Anakin Skywalker done by Nolan, epic.
headlopper - 10/13/2011, 4:52 PM
It is a bit brief, but it's telling non-the-less.
He acknowledges how revolutionary it was, among other things.
I totally agree with him.
NeoBaggins - 10/13/2011, 5:09 PM
The state of STAR WARS will remain in the Clone War era until Lucas dies. He hates the original fans THAT much.
soberchimera - 10/13/2011, 5:14 PM
This outtake wasn't very funny.
DarthTesla - 10/13/2011, 5:40 PM
Apparently Chris Nolan CAN be more awesome.

@Grif: That would be awesome. If the damn live-action show ever happens.
BigK1337 - 10/13/2011, 5:49 PM
Hmm, Nolan doing Star Wars?

Well it is safe to say he won't go heavy on the cgi; after all, true Star Wars fans know how attrocious that turns out; *COUGH* Jar-Jar Binks *COUGH*.

Dear Jebus,

Let this man do the Thrawn trilogy!

Cheers,

OH craps....is that the next big thing...OH let's just NOLANize every movie now...

OH NOLAN should remake the Matrix series.

Oh let NOLAN do Star Trek and Star Wars...

What character would LEO play?

VOMIT...STOP MUCKING UP A GREAT MOVIE...someone tell Lucas that please!!! HOLLYWOOD come up with original movies instead of retreading the same films with new actors...No one would pull off Han Solo..Hell you'd all tear a remake apart with every actor, scene, thought...Everyone would have an ulcer or stroke on that topic
Ceejay - 10/13/2011, 8:29 PM
If he and his brother Jonathan were to make the Star Wars prequels then at least they would have had a coherent and sensible story unlike the make it up as you go crap Lucas presented just to showcase digital FX.
WesleyGibson - 10/13/2011, 8:40 PM
They forgot James Newton Howard.
ABLEE337 - 10/13/2011, 8:58 PM
@teabag
Hahahahaha, damn, you crack me up.
I wonder how much Nolan urine would go for on ebay?
I'm pretty sure some freak out there would buy it.
Maybe even drink it, gross.
croniccris - 10/13/2011, 9:50 PM
@tru samurai champloo is the shit
VinzClortho - 10/13/2011, 10:24 PM
The world would explode if he directed a star wars film. It would be too great.
jbak368 - 10/13/2011, 10:24 PM
They won't ever hire Nolan for 007, just like they didn't hire Tarantino even though Casino Royale was his idea, and they wouldn't hire Spielberg back in the 70's. The Bond producers have a rule against letting true auteurs direct Bond, because they don't want a director putting too much of their own stamp on it. That's why Spielberg made Indy, and the Batman films are probably the closest we'll ever get to a Nolan Bond film.

Good for You, Nolan
VictorHugo - 10/14/2011, 4:30 AM
A Star Trek movie by Nolan would be remarkably similar with "Star Trek:The Motion Picture" by Robert Wise.

He also went for sober realism, as much as possible in that series.
ISleepNow - 10/14/2011, 9:15 PM
Note to Chris:

Pleez PPLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEZEEEE..

As soon as George Lucas drops dead

Direct Every Kotor Film!!!

Just Imagine, Darth Revan Begins



What would the Chris Nolan version of HK-47 be like?



Just One of these movies directed by him and I'd die happy

DioFoRio - 11/4/2012, 7:08 PM
