I enjoy Chris Nolan’s work in general, but I watched the Blu-Ray and it has a thing where you can go to any scene in the movie and go to the making of that. There’s nothing that has ever made me feel less like a professional than watching Chris Nolan’s group at work. The remote-control miniature cars. Just every technique. The rehearsal of flipping the semi-trailer end over end in the middle of the desert before they blow it up in Chicago… There’s one scene where a guy jumps off the top of a skyscraper — they rehearse the jump but for the actual thing they did it CG. ‘But for the rehearsal you did jump off the building?’ ‘We have it as a reference.’ Wow. Chris Nolan is quite great. My favourite is Memento, but I’d like to learn how to do these things.

The Dark Knight Ultimate Trilogy Trailer

This extended fan-made trailer for all of the Christopher Nolan Batman films is rather fantastic. Watching this truly reminds us at what a grand spectacle the Nolan Batman films are for a franchise that is taking the extraordinary and grounding it in the real world. Plus the Hans Zimmer scores for all three films are so haunting and beautiful.
