For his 2010 heist film that features a zero-gravity setpiece, 500 members of Nolan’s crew built a rotating hallway for the stunt sequence. Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt underwent combat practice for two weeks before shooting the scene.
The actor declined the assistance of the hair and makeup team in designing his look as the villain Joker in The Dark Knight (2008). “One thing Heath wanted to do was to apply makeup himself,” said Nolan in an interview posted on the Warner Bros’ YouTube account.
In an interview with MTV, the actor revealed that he auditioned for the role of Batman while wearing Val Kilmer’s old, ill-fitting suit. “I stood in it and I went 'I feel like an idiot.' When he got home, however, his wife wasn’t impressed with his audition. “I showed her, and she went, 'Well, you f---ed that one up, didn't you?' Thank God they went for it,” he added.
Twelve of the boats that feature in Nolan’s war epic depicting the evacuation of Dunkirk during World War II had actually sailed from England to France to rescue stranded soldiers in 1940. These boats are known as Little Ships.
The director’s fake titles for his recent films always include the names of his children. The Dark Knight was codenamed Rory's First Kiss, Inception was Oliver's Arrow and The Dark Knight Rises was Magnus Rex. Interstellar was codenamed Flora's Letter.
