CHRISTOPHER NOLAN'S BIOGRAPHY
|
Christopher Nolan began making movies at an early age with his father's Super-8mm camera. While studying English Literature at University College London, he shot 16mm films at UCL's film society, learning the guerrilla film techniques he would later use to make his first feature, "Following," a "no-budget" noir thriller that enjoyed great success at a number of international film festivals prior to being released theatrically in the U.S.
Nolan's second film was the low-budget independent feature "Memento," starring Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano, which Nolan directed from his own screenplay, based on a short story by his brother Jonathan. The film brought Nolan numerous honors, including Academy and Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Original Screenplay, two Independent Spirit Awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay, and a Directors Guild of America Award nomination. Nolan followed "Memento" with the critically acclaimed psychological thriller "Insomnia," starring Academy Award winners Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hilary Swank. For that film, Nolan won the London Critics Circle Award for Best Director of the Year.
In 2005, Nolan co-wrote and directed the blockbuster "Batman Begins," starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman. More recently, he directed, co-wrote and produced the mystery thriller "The Prestige," starring Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Scarlett Johansson and Michael Caine. Writer/director Christopher Nolan and his wife producer Emma Thomas are currently developing "The Prisoner," based on the BBC show of the 1960s.
