Nolan's Secret Script Process Sounds Like a Spy Thriller
4 Nov
Summary
- Christopher Nolan's script process is highly secretive.
- Universal head experienced a unique script pitch for The Odyssey.
- Nolan reportedly avoids smartphones and embraces old-school methods.
Christopher Nolan's filmmaking process is renowned for its secrecy, extending even to the initial script pitches. Donna Langley, Chairman of Universal Entertainment, shared her unique experience of receiving Nolan's adaptation of 'The Odyssey'. Langley described the event as intimidating, taking place at Nolan's home, and likened the secretive nature of the process to a spy thriller.
This approach, often in collaboration with his wife and producing partner Emma Thomas, involves a level of confidentiality that makes participants feel part of an exclusive group. Nolan's preference for old-school methods, notably his abstention from using smartphones, further contributes to this clandestine atmosphere. Both 'The Odyssey' and 'Oppenheimer' scripts were described as brilliant and engaging upon completion by Langley.
