he better keep doing silly comic/action/scifi/thriller genre stuff as long as he is able to deliver. he can start doing boring historical epics when he is 70. but i don't care too much anyway, i'm not a fan.

Insomnia isn't really a "mind bender" and doesn't have much non-linearity so he's done it before.


But that was before he truly became "Nolan, the auteur". I think back then he just did anything to get in Hollywood circles.

Dunkirk is a historical war film. It won't be as popular as Nolan's other films.

Who cares. It's going to be a good film. And does anybody really know if it is going to be a historical war film? It could pull a The Great Wall and make it historical fiction. I mean, it is Nolan. He could add something Nolan-esque.

Nolan's got lots of money now, all he craves is that Oscar that he keeps being denied. Personally, I expect the film to be an extension of his downward spiral since Memento.

True. It's probably his Oscar product.

He appears to be adopting the Spielberg stategy, make his name on crowdpleasers and then tossing out the bait in the form of a war movie. I suppose we should be grateful he's not taking the disease route. I wonder how long it will be until we see Nolan's BFG?

I doubt this is oscar bait. If it was then they would have planned a december limited release with expansion in January. This has prime July release date. Also Mark Rylance said the movie immediately gets into "action" and is not a slow build up war film.

Hopefully the trailer gives us some perspective but this is hard to read at this point.

So did Saving Private Ryan, and that was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, winning five.

Nolan will never get serious Oscar consideration. And apparently the script for this sucks.

July is perfect for it. Much needed quality in another blah summer. I believe it will work better for it than December.

I saw the teaser last night with Suicide Squad. Doesn't show very much but it got a few claps from the audience when Nolan's name came up lol

This looks ugly, like all of his movies. He can make Batman, people who go inside dreams, and exploring a black hole all look grey and dull and boring. It's got to be a talent, just one that nobody wants.
