By The Time I Was 10 Or

I Studied English Literature. I Wasn’t A Very Good Student, But One Thing I Did Get From It, While I Was Making Films At The Same Time With The College Film Society, Was That I Started Thinking About The Narrative Freedoms That Authors Had Enjoyed For Centuries And It Seemed To Me That Filmmakers Should Enjoy Those Freedoms As Well.

The Atmosphere And The Environment That You Get On A Chris Nolan Film That He And Emma [tomson] Create Is One Where You Feel Very Safe And Very Confident And Able To Experiment With Characters. It's A Great Place To Be As An Actor.

Say You Have A Headline Like "mountain Bike Stolen," And Then You Read The Story, Read Another Story About It The Next Day, And Then The Next Week, And Then The Next Year. News Is A Process Of Expansion, The Filling In Of Detail, And Making Narrative Connections - Not Based On Chronology, But Based On Features Of The Story. There Are Narrative Connections Made Between Props, Between Characters, Between Situations, And So Forth.

But, In Each Case, As A Filmmaker Who's Been Given Sizable Budgets With Which To Work, I Feel A Responsibility To The Audience To Be Shooting With The Absolute Highest Quality Technology That I Can And Make The Film In A Way That I Want.

We Shouldn't Be Chasing Other Movies, But Stay True To The Tone Of Man Of Steel.
