Why not Chris Nolan to direct?


Why did they hire some no name director when they could have gotten Chris Nolan? Makes no sense.

reply

Because Nolan isn't the only director in Hollywood.

Because Nolan sucks.

How do we know they "could have gotten" Nolan? I must have missed the story where he was desperate for work and begged Ridley Scott for the gig.

Because Nolan is a terrible director.

Yes; I'm sure that's it. Somewhere, in a Warner Brothers board room where Blade Runner II was being considered, someone said "Hey, how about we get Christopher Nolan!" and everyone else said "What?! That hack!? He's turrrrible!" Sounds legit.
