[edit] Themes
So I've removed the themes stuff because it should be on a page about the film, not a page about the person. If you read a page about Chris Nolan, you want to know who he is, and what he does, which involves a sense of how he got jobs and what sort of thing he likes making. Themes was too much, so I've taken it off unless someone objects, in which case revert! I'll try and work the themes thing into the Memento page, although that needs a lot of work itself...

[edit] Batman sequels
Do we have concrete information about whether he's doing the Batman sequels? From somewhere other than the tabloids?
As far as Batman sequels go here's what is known. and it's not much. Several actors have said that they are excited about doing another one, so I guess this means it's a go. on IMDB, it shows that Chris Nolan, and a few other actors are attached to "Untitled Batman Project." All of this says that there will be one, however, this is still circumstantial at best. Chris Nolan has stated publicly, that he will not do another one, unless the plot advances the story in a meaningful way. He also said that until he has finished with Inception, he's not giving it any thought, he prefers to give one project his undevided attention.
Would Warner Bros go ahead without him? Most certainly yes. Batman is far too big of a cash cow to stop milking now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.233.196.169 (talk) 22:43, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Nationality
Is it really correct to refer to Christopher Nolan as just an English director? He holds dual citizenship in both the UK and US, and spent parts of his childhood living in both countries. BarqSimpson 16:58, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Third Batman film in 2011
Is there any confirmation of this as a release date? Where it would make sense given the three year difference between the release of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, has this in fact been mentioned by any reliable source? 24.24.90.148 03:06, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
2011 would seem a little fast considering that he will be working on Inception well into 2010. There is nothing official yet. to the best of my understanding, another sequel is greenlit, but still in the very early pre-production stages. Personally, I'd be very surprised if there was a script, or even a plot outline, but that is my personal belief. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.233.196.169 (talk) 22:46, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
[edit] "Conspiracy theories"
The "conspiracy theory" regarding Nolan's complicity in Ledger's recent death is absolute hornswoggle. Whoever posted it linked to a Michael Keaton interview that has, obviously, no such information regarding such whatsoever. Feel free to put your money where your mouth is and arrest Christopher Nolan for criminal charges before you callously slander him on Wikipedia. Alex Weitzman (talk) 05:06, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
- For whoever reverted the revertal - thank you. For the original reverter - lack of counter-sources? The original source is bunk. Check the link. You don't need a counter-source to argue against a source that doesn't exist in the first place. Alex Weitzman (talk) 05:06, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Recurring actors
I removed a table displaying recurring actors because I do not believe that it is critical to lay out the performances in this way. There are only two actors who have done more than two major roles under Nolan (Bale and Caine), and I feel that this is worth noting in prose instead. The others are not worth noting; for example, Jeremy Theobald appeared in Batman Begins in so small a capacity that in the development of that film article, there was no coverage I can recollect mentioning him. What do others think? —Erik (talk • contrib) 13:44, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
- I agree, especially since two of Bale and Caine's appearances are for films in the same series (there's a continuity thing there), and not 3 different films that Nolan has directed. Looking at some of the others, it seems that they only have bit roles. I think putting them in a table gives a false impression that they had some major role in all of these movies when they didn't. I think prose would be better, because you could better explain exactly what capacity they have (and preferably, get some comments from them or Nolan about why they show up "frequently" in his films).

The dates/content under professional career need to be changed. If one says Nolan said a quote following the date of the premier of The Prestige, but said it prior to that (as the date indicates), then it must be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.74.109.129 (talk) 08:00, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Inception
I removed the link for 'Inception' because it was linking to the wrong Inception. As of yet there is no wikipedia artice for the Inception film.Prince.timotheus (talk) 04:30, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
