Hi Friends!
1. Apparently Chistopher Nolan doesn't have an email address, so he gets his assistant to print out important emails instead.
2. He likes drinking tea so much that he always carries a flask of it around with him, causing his teeth to go a "Chestnut gradient." Michael Caine was convinced he mixed it with alcohol, asking him on set "You've not got Vodka in there, have you?"
3. He doesn't ever like to be too far away his scripts, so when the actors are reading them he waits in a nearby room.
4. Before he begins a movie, he spends around two weeks typing out the original idea on his father's old typewriter.
5. Like a lot a creative people (including Steve Jobs), he likes to wear the same outfit every day. In the warmer months this consists of a dark jacket over a blue dress shirt (with slightly fraying collar) and black durable trousers with scuffed, sensible shoes. In the colder months this is paired with a herringbone waistcoat.
6. He tries to do as little post-production work as possible, filming whatever special effects he can in camera. Some of the most unbelievable scenes in The Dark Knight were created with very little CGI. He believes that audience can sense when things are actually there rather than just being computer generated.
7. He prefers shooting on 35mm film instead of digital, so much so that he even shot some of Interstellar's "Skype footage" scenes using 35mm. He also visited countless cinemas in New York to make sure they had suitable equipment to project Interstellar.
8. He claims that he's never late for work and he never works on weekends.
9. He didn't watch Alfonso Cuaron's film Gravity because he didn't want to compromise his own vision of life in space.
10. He tries to imagine each film he makes as his last, going into it with no compromises.
Enjoy!
