On how can Nolan top The Dark Knight?
I asked the same question. I read the script two weeks ago, and he's done it. Plain and simple — he's done it. It's a phenomenal script. He's still in the process of cutting it back because it's a very long script right now, but it's really phenomenal. And he actually had me go back and wanted me to watch, in IMAX,Batman Begins and The Dark Knight again. When I watched those I had read the script for The Dark Knight Rises and was like, 'dude, it is a perfect trilogy.' I think that was his intent, to work of those two pictures — and they are very different pictures. And it's funny, we all had different opinions about which picture we like better.
On Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (aka Catwoman)
"She's so good. She did an incredible job. She is a great, great actress… and she looked phenomenal in the wardrobe."
On the upcoming shoot
"Our goal is to shoot as much in IMAX as we can. We're going to put in on the screen, and put it on the screen big. And I really encourage everyone to see it in IMAX if they can because we're really going for it this time. In terms of the action, we are all scratching our heads right now trying to figure out how we're going to do it; how we're going to do it in the amount of time we're going to do it in. The opening scene of the movie will blow your mind."
Nolan also has earned the master of action and science fiction's respect, James Cameron. He spoke out about his horrible snub at the Oscars.
The most obvious snub in this year’s batch of Academy Award nominations was beloved director Christopher Nolan, who did not receive a nomination for Best Director, though his film Inception racked up eight nominations, including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay. Biggest director of all time James Cameron has joined the ranks of vocal dissenters, saying “I wish Chris Nolan had gotten nominated for directing that film.”
"I loved Inception, and I wish that it had gotten more,” the director toldThe Hollywood Reporter at the premiere of his producing ventureSanctum, which uses the 3D camera system he developed forAvatar. The always-forthright Cameron declared that Nolan deserved a nomination, explaining, “I think that it’s the most astounding piece of film creation and direction of the year, hands down ... but now it’s not even in the running. So I diverge from the Academy’s taste in a lot of ways."
He told THR that the Best Picture race this year is “almost anyone’s guess” and said, "I don’t see a lot of strong trends emerging. The media have tried to pick their winners, but then some of the Guild awards have warded that. I think it's a very open race. It makes it exciting."
As to where he would put his money in this year’s Oscar race, he plays it close to the vest, saying, “I never publicize my picks. Oh, I have picks, but I don’t tell."
