Chris reaaaally likes casting Tom and Cillian.
Some of the best actors in the world
Chris knows what’s up 👍🏼
And his cocaine.
Michael Caine too
his wife doing the casting. Emma
If I was a director, I would cast Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy in all my movies too.
can't forget the legendary michael caine
"Are you ready boys"
-Yes
--What mask this time?
How I expect their group chat is when Nolan has a new idea
If I were*
Subjunctive clause
I would love Nolan to direct one episode of peaky blinders with Cillian an Tom in it. that would be epic.
u putting hardy and cillian in the same sentence is a crime
I could listen to Chris talking about filmmaking for an eternity.
Me too sis!
His filmmaking is creative and brilliant, I don't get why you are comparing him to Kubrick? In what way does he fail?
PietreADI dude stfu
Wish he would challenge himself and rise better than he was ever before!
He made everything so clear
The prestige has to be one of the greatest and most underrated Nolan movies
Maicon Junior couldn't agree more!
All of his movies are equally good to me.
Yes. The Prestige is "magical".
It's my favourite
The Prestige is just fantastic, David Bowie was brilliantly casted
Cillian Murphy is underrated
Mana CH YES, THANK YOU
Extremely
Mana CH Dr. Pavel- I'm CIA.
Absolutely
Not to nolan
Christopher Nolan - one of the best and certainly the most influential Filmmaker of the 21st Century.
... not to mention surprisingly chill.
"one of..."
Dynnecas What’s your point
ok... the guy just deleted his comment, he said something like "what about Tarantino?"
Dynnecas ok...?
I just realized Heath Ledger died on this day 10 years ago. And watching this reminds me once again what a great loss it is..his portrayal of Joker was beyond great. RIP
Isabella Durilee it's so sad that people couldn't see him accepting his oscar. His oscar win was a big change.
Great....now im depressed.
10 years? Whoa. That's crazy
RIP Heath Ledger
Ohh such a New and Creative comment..
GIVE CHRISTOPHER NOLAN AN OSCAR FOR BEST DIRECTOR PLEASE
Del Torro says no
Oscar is the thing nolan deserves, but not the thing he needs right now. Let del toro have his oscar this year, due for a 25 yrs (his golden globe speech was emotional). Nolan will surely win it one day 20 yrs later like scorcese did, when he is already a legend and the whole audience stands up and claps for a straight two minutes.
Should have had an Oscar for the dark knight
In time he will. I wanted him for Dunkirk but if he’s to lose it, it better be someone as good as him. Luckily del toro is.
We're convinced
In Nolan We Trust
ABHISHEK KUMAR I read this as soon as the “questioner “ interviewer what ever you call it said that
In Nolan Musk We Trust
Ohh that's new omg
666th like 😈
I am a simple person . I saw Christopher Nolan and i clicked .
You are an intelligent person.
Same
Yes, indeed. Only a simpelton would still be parroting that joke.
*simpleton
At least spell correctly when trying to offend someone.
I do not know why but I quite like Nolan's voice.
Zhu YuXuan Same here.
yeah its nice to listen to
Zhu YuXuan who doesn't
Everybody does
It's quite warm isn't it? It makes me a bit drowsy... I'd love it if my Echo could read 'The Tale of Two Cities' to me in Nolan's voice while I go to bed in the night...
Nolan is the king of film making.
Im one of your subscribers
Tarantino m8
Sorry that goes to Spielberg. But Nolan is one of the all time best for sure.
@@offspringfan1288 Spielberg is GREAT..... but after the 2000's he's been pretty underwhelming.... except for Minority Report ig.....
Satyajit Ray? Scorsese?
This host knows how to open up people!
Cillian Murphy's character in Dunkirk is basically Tommy Shelby afraid of going back to the war
Exactly!
Incredible interview. Such a humble man
In a time when movies have no original idea, this man shows up and surprise us with his criativity and brilliant ideas.
The only other movie or director that I would consider worthy of the Oscar besides del Toro would be Nolan.
Somebody give this man many Oscars!
O Mestre Das Artes Místicas what's your opinion on Tarantino ?
Tarantino is definitely up there, along with Wes Anderson.
Spielberg!!!
And scorsese... But Nolan has made so many blockbuster masterpieces
Both scorsese and spielberg has won oscars...its only nolan who hasnt....upgrade your knowledge pals
Ugh mate the fact that he mentioned Cillian on his own says that they really have this dynamic chemistry thing going on... I hope they have more projects in store for us
I can guarantee u
After tenet ,
Nolan will cast him for his next
Nolan knows the value of cillian Murphy
Well I was right , Cillian is playing lead role in Nolan's next Oppenheimer
@@codmw7040 oh man what a time to be alive
@@codmw7040 you knew it, didn't you? Or that was an excellent prediction, because he has the lead role of the father of nuclear bombs
@@codmw7040 thanks for manifesting it
"You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling" is actually my favorite line from Inception. There's a musical quality to it.
Christopher Nolan is a real genius .
Tom and Cillian are the two most underrated gods of cinema. This duo needs to go on for ages.
YESS Theyre so Handsome and have so much potential ✨
Well Tom Hardy finally get the spotlight in Mad Max Fury Road
@@Erasureeraser and cillian murphy for thomas Shelby (peaky blinders)
@@girirajsharma6268and Oppenheimer now
wild how hard u called this
his voice is really relaxing
dyla Same. I could imagine working with him would be a joy. He's always seemed like a chilled guy.
ELCNUmorFnaMehT yes ikr!
dyla not weird at all dude
I've watched the special features from his movies and I've legit fallen asleep listening to him talk lmao it's like asmr
You should try ASMR
Heath Ledgers performance still gives me shivers down my spine. Nolan's "Dark Knight" is the perfect movie.
Completely agree. My favourite movie all time. One of the greatest performances in cinema history. RIP
If Christopher Nolan taught a film class, I would sign up.
Jose Rodriguez hopefully Masterclass gets some of his time.
Who wouldn't?
Whatever the cost
Rest in peace Heath Ledger first off, and secondly, no one makes films quite like Nolan
RIP
Invidious TV Christopher Nolan, David fincher and Denis Villanueve, the best directors, in my opinion of course
I was hoping he’d talk about Cillian!! He is such a lovely man very calm and well spoken. Interviewer did a great job too!
"Every now and then I'll reach into a drawer and find a Polaroid from Memento..."
That's so casual it's actually badass...
Christopher Nolan, thank you for being such an amazing director and writer. You create wonderful, complex worlds, your every movie is a masterpiece. Thank you for Memento, Batman, Inception, Dunkirk, everything. Your impact on popculture is just huge and we love you. You deserve every award possible, but for me, you already are a winner and the best director and creator I've ever seen.
Ayga wao you actually love him haha
Ayga Don't forget Interstellar lol
With all my heart I love him so much!
The prestige... Everyone forgets the prestige
Probably falls under 'everything'
Nolan is a true genius! And Cillian's little complain is so cute i just cant :>
10/10 interview. Refreshing
I enjoyed the whole interview, he's really nice and i wish it was longer
Cillian and Nolan becoming a godly cinematic duo
Tell Nolan that interstellar is his greatest , most personal and best film ever . Makes me cry every time . That film spoke with me on so many levels . And tell him Interstellar is in the top 30 film on IMDb films of ALL TIME!
Interstellar had me thinking about it for months
the dark knight is number 4 on that list and inception is number 13
I am sure he knows. Btw Dark Knight is at 4 & Inception is at 13.
But i personally place Interstellar as his best movie till date.
Same thing with Harry Styles happened with Heath Ledger. They doubted them but Nolan didn't.
naming heath ledger in the same sentence with that person is a disgrace to the humanity
@@yasmin9473 are you a girl and you like the joker?
LeafyIsHere2 aka Thanosetalgia Memeories What do you mean?
same thing? dude, Heath won an oscar for his performance. All Harry got was some fangirls going to the movies, who most likely forgot everything about Dunkirk after leaving the cinema.
@@lethaihien12345 Ur right but tbh Harry wasnt that bad and im not a fangirl, obviously Ledger performance is way more brilliant
Nolan is one of the best, but we have to credit the interviewer too. This guy is awesome
He seems so at-ease in this interview! Wonderful interviewer
That Heath Ledger tribute in the beginning was very fitting and amazing
Dude he can be a voice acting artist..his voice is good
He's a scientist, philosopher and a filmmaker all rolled into one.
Christopher Nolan is brilliant and one of the best directors ever, all of his movies are truly masterpieces. Every time I watch Inception I have a new mind blowing.
He is a humble person. He wrote the character of the Ledger’s joker. He has helped Heath a lot to perform in that very impressive way.
I feel bad for people who went to see Dunkirk just for Harry Styles not the mindblowing story
Exactly
started watching for hs and chris nolan, stayed for the movie
i’m a fan of harry and in my opinion i loved the movie so much and it was so powerful, having harry in it was just a bonus tbh
I started it because harry was in it but stayed for the story
Nope I Watched That Film Only For Chris And Zimmer Because I Didn't Even Know Who Is Harry Styles
You know the story is gonna be good when it has Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy.
Social media is a cesspool and Chris Nolan is really smart to ignore it. I love his films.
I have a love/hate relationship with Christopher Nolan honestly. I hate that I become a fool when I watch his movies and they leave me speechless but that's what I love about them.
Same but I eventually accepted that he is far smart then I am but that's what I now expect from his movie. To surprise and show me something new and he never let me down.
@@blackscreennoiseforrelaxat1517 he made the prestige to make fun of people like you
I don't think I've ever seen an interview so good as this one
At least not in a very long time
I would watch any flim that's directed by him I just like how he tells the story of each of his flim were actually there living it
1:05 “play your cards a little close to the chest”
There was a good running gag that Nolan repeats lines for irony’s sake in all his films, even though it was mainly in the Batman films.
I love this interviewer. He asks such great and interesting questions and is truly interested in each person he interviews.
"What was the whole 'In Nolan We Trust' like for you?"
Me, having made a dozen of those comments: *sweats nervously*
Tiia Mannix In Nolan We Trust no matter what ✊😔
In Nolan we trust ✌️✌️✌️✌️
All my homies love Cillian Murphy
Joseph Shipman and Tom hardy 🥺✨
Hello! Sees Harry’s name and... click, Christopher Nolan! Good movie! Loved it!
I will admit I love Christopher Nolan’s movies but I didn’t know he was making Dunkirk and everyone on Twitter was oh Harry’s gonna be in it and I thought oh my okay I’ll have to see what he’s like as an actor so I watched it but then I was so intrigued with the movie and although I was happy to see Harry I was more happy with the film and the story it’s just so captivating and I’ve studied Dunkirk in class but this movie made me feel chills and like wow again great film!
Christopher Nolan is a legend
I saw joker in here. Let us all remember heath ledger the legend. 10 years without him.
RIP Heath Ledger or should I say Heath Legend
"Particularly when he's got such piercing eyes."
Yeah, Cillian must play someone in history who is really haunted by something he's helped create. Thos eyes would be a huge asset to shoot in 70mm.
How is The Dark Knight already 10 years old? What the hell happened? Time sucks.
And still original
Omg soo creative
It's Nolan's fault he plays with time so much
Make it twelve
Oh shit, I'm getting old lmao, btw that's the movie I'll never get tired of rewatching it again and again
Ali Plumb is such great journalist, its always a pleasure to listen to his interviews.
Thank you Nolan for Interstellar, TDK , Dunkirk ❤️. You are the greatest
Comment and inception
And the rest of his films
Memento?
Christopher Nolan is such a great director and hes always so kind and gracious when he does interviews. I really love that and proud to be one of his fans.
Chris really loved being in this interview which is rare because interviewers normally ask shitty questions to celebs but yeah this BBC interviewer guy is cool.
Christopher Nolan is one of the fewest people where they talk, I feel like an absolute genius is talking. Especially how he talks about the things he does in such simplicity.
4:51 7:38 listen to that clock ticking sound, heartbeat and background sound. He always do that to make viewers heartbeat up, then drop it in the exact point he wants. His movies have amazing sounds.
Please give him an Oscar already :D
Raditya Nugraheni it’s the Nominations tomorrow so we can only hope
Raditya Nugraheni he should have won best director for interstellar
Derrive Inception was amazing too.
Raditya Nugraheni but... but what's about TDK? ☹️
KRATOS fucked my mother because it's really good, but honestly, I'm not a big fan of superhero movies... Sorry..
*the* most articulate, engrossing filmmaker when it comes to discussion of the art. could listen to him for 26 hours discuss cinema history.
Nolan is just brilliant
He's always been this humble, soft spoken, yet incredibly brilliant director. I don't understand why he hasn't won any Oscars yet. Insane.
For me Nolan is the greatest director of all time.
The interviewer makes his guests happy, let alone at ease. Result: best interviews ever!!
All talk about Quentin,Scorsese,Steven Spielberg,Kubrick etc.... But I talk about Nolan... He's the rebel....I say, he doesn't need an Oscar ,we the fans will give him an ultimate recognition that he is the best -master story teller and director.
Well said.
Shut the fuck up
@@Blip-qz9ch I think not. 😉
Chris: I’m making a new movie
Everyone: Say no more, IN NOLAN WE TRUST
This man needs to direct the next James Bond movie ! It's perfect since they're going to reboot the franchise anyway !
He said that he was interested in directing No Time To Die, but he was busy with Tenet and he doesn't want direct a sequel movie that he didn't direct the previous one. He wanted to make his own Bond movie
Nolan is such a genius and talented director, the whole Nolan we trust thing just reflects the fact the audience knows he's talented and is bringing great work with consistency
This guy is an amazing host. Consistently asks great questions.
It is always so nice to listen to him speak, he has that calming presence. Also, a very good interviewer, knows how to listen and asks good questions.
A class act. It is nice to see a real director still finding work, in this day and age. Let us hope he never goes Lucas or Spielberg, in his old age.
i gotta be honest, this host dude is actually one of the best host. Very well educated and well mannered and his questions are real question no personal attacks what so ever. I've seen his interviews with so many celebrities and they all seems to be calm and have fun giving interview
Finally, got his first Oscar nomination for directing.
Oscars dont deserv nolan
Man I love this interviewer asked so many great questions
Inception deserved to make a billion dollars at the box office it was such a work of art
I love the interviewer one of the most respectful ones here , been listening to him since the maze runner interview
He's not a director we deserve, but the one we need.
Haven’t seen Nolan open up this much in any interview. Great job 👍🏼
Some say legends never die... Nolan never dies
this guy handles himself in such an excellent manner. its inspiring in and of itself. Hes very self aware
LOVE THIS MAN
I've been wacthing the movie of Dunkirk in several times, thank you so so much for Christopher Nolan, that movie is really really very great. Honestly, I'm cry.
Glad Chris go nominated for the oscars he really deserves it
I have so much respect for that man
This does put a smile on my face
Nahh Heath killed that role!!! I've watched that movie so many times and I'm still fascinated by his acting and how he brought that character to live!👏👏👏 R.I.P. Heath Ledger😭❤❤
it was good to cast harry styles because it really made you understand that they were just young guys having to fight
When Christopher Nolan mentions finding a Polaroid from the set of memento in a drawer at home, Ali Plumb whispers "wow" into his mic. Its his passion and wonderment of movies that makes him such a good interviewer.
I ❤ Nolan!
So do I
I guess we all do, don't we?
Christopher Nolan is my favorite person on the planet. He makes films that are very enjoyable but also reach you on a deeper level and make you question your very existence. I will continue to rewatch every movie until the day I die.
I didn’t even notice it was Harry , he was very good
I love how Nolan takes the same actors in his movies. It wouldve been an absolute pleasure if Heath Ledger makes more movies with all the great casts all together
What a legend 🙏🏻
I used to love watching the special features for my favorite films growing up. I drove my parents nuts one summer when I’d watch the making-of VHS for “Jurassic Park” pretty much every day. I haven’t done that in a while, but you can bet I did it when I bought his 4K collection back in 2017. I love his films, and I am so incredibly grateful to live in this age of filmmaking. Looking forward to “Tenet” next July!!
Best director of all times👍👍👍👍
SHR not even close, definately in my top 50.
There are a lot of better directors than Nolan. Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino are all better than him
@PietreADI oops I forgot to mension them.
4:38 Chris is super excited 😁
