EXCLUSIVE: ‘Inception’ plot revealed
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 9:03 am · August 25th, 2009
Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” has made for one of the most tightly guarded projects to come along in quite some time. Plot descriptions have been relegated to “it’s a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind,” while the teaser trailer that debuted online yesterday and with select prints of “Inglourious Basterds” over the [...]

‘Inception’ trailer
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 8:46 am · August 24th, 2009
I steered clear of all bootlegs of this throughout the weekend and I really didn’t want to go see “Inglourious Basterds” again, so this morning I got my first peek at the “Inception” teaser trailer. I like.
In fact, it reminds me of a time when trailers did what they were originally supposed to do: pique [...]

Nolan out for third Batman? Who could step in?
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 8:54 am · June 17th, 2009
Bill Ramey over at Batman on Film has posted a rather disconcerting report this morning regarding the status of Christopher Nolan’s involvement with a third film in the lucrative Batman franchise. The info, which is hardly concrete, comes from one of the numerous Bat-related sources Ramey has acquired over 12 years of focusing his site [...]

Nolan continues casting the hell out of ‘Inception’
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 9:41 pm · May 4th, 2009
Add Ken Watanabe and Tom Hardy to the ever-expanding, impressive slate of actors signed up for Christopher Nolan’s still-shrouded-in-mystery “Inception.” Watanabe, of course, will be re-teaming with Nolan after starring in 2005’s “Batman Begins,” while Hardy was making waves earlier this year in the Sundance hit “Bronson” (you might recall the amusing story Michael Shannon [...]

INTERVIEW: Michael Caine
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 12:30 pm · April 28th, 2009
So far 2008 hasn’t offered much for an Oscar shortlist beyond a few festival offerings that have yet to see a domestic release. Certainly nothing in the way of powerhouse awards-caliber performances has come down the pike, leaving some to talk up smaller, menial turns amid the lull. But one actor has certainly put forth [...]

Caine confirmed in small role in ‘Inception,’ Gordon-Levitt also joins the cast
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 9:09 am · April 24th, 2009
I just got off the phone with Michael Caine for a piece I’ll have up momentarily concerning his rather striking performance in John Crowley’s “Is Anybody There?,” but while I had him cornered I thought I should ask him point blank about his potentially staring in Christopher Nolan’s “Inception,” a rumor that’s been bouncing around [...]

Must-read
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 9:39 am · April 8th, 2009
The usual circles are running dry on this one and I rarely have such a determined desire to spoil myself by reading a screenplay, so if anyone — ANYONE — has gotten their hands on Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” and wouldn’t mind passing it along, shoot me an email. Final Draft, PDF, whatever you got.

Troubling details of Nolan’s ‘Shadow of the Bat’ revealed
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 12:34 am · April 1st, 2009
I really don’t know what to say about this. I understand Christopher Nolan is a progressive artist, a guy who understands both the necessity of shunning convention and the idea that what one may expect isn’t always the best solution. He’s proven it time and again with the films in his re-booted Batman franchise, starting [...]

Christopher Nolan’s next film: ‘Inception’
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 3:14 pm · February 11th, 2009
As expected, Christopher Nolan’s next film will not be a sequel to “The Dark Knight.” He will instead go into production on “Inception,” described in the breaking Hollywood Reporter story as “a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.” Here are the usual kisses from the studio:
“Chris Nolan is a visionary filmmaker [...]

‘Dark Knight’ snub puts it in great company
Posted by John Foote · 9:20 am · February 7th, 2009
While I, too, am tired of the carping and griping about this years Academy Award nominations, I still have not been able to wrap my head around how this group could have snubbed “The Dark Knight” and Christopher Nolan. They obviously liked the film, something akin to “Dreamgirls” two years ago, landing many nominations but [...]

RIP/FYC
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 3:56 pm · February 6th, 2009
The New York Times put it to David Carr, a.k.a. The Carpetbagger, to write a feature in today’s paper about the tight-rope walk of campaigning for a deceased actor (Heath Ledger for “The Dark Knight”), and it’s rather clear from the quotes that no one from Warner Bros. was willing to go on the record.
