Christopher Nolan Rejected Studio Idea for "Post Credit Scene" After Man of Steel

[MartyMcFly]

Through out the history of Hollywood there's been several notable people who were extremely talented but said/did incredibly stupid shyt. He's not special in that regard, nor does his talent have anything to do with it.

And he made "TDKR", so let's not act like he's infallible.

True but it doesn't make him a moron if he that's his opinion on film. He likes self-contained stories and that's what he creates. He's said that since 2005. He want his movies, superhero or otherwise, to have a beginning, middle, and end. The assumption is that if he does put something in, like the Joker card in Batman Begins, it'll be before the credits roll so maybe it's the tactic of placing it after the credits that he has issue with, which again, is his preference.

First off this is all hinged on him meaning #2 of what I said.

If that's his preference but he didn't word it like that. Not like "that isn't something I would do, or would work for my style of film making".

He said "real movies don't do it"....which is dancing across the line of "this is my opinion" into the declarative statement territory of "retarded things you hear from Hollywood".

If I was a famous director and said "I don't consider comic book movies real movies"....ok that's my opinion, same as what he said....but it has no basis in, or bearing on, reality. It's just some ol' dumb shyt to say, regardless of how talented and successful I am. There is no objective definition of a "real movie" for him to make that statement....and there is several movies through out history with after credits scenes that were both commercially and critically successful. As much, if not more so, than anything he's done.

But if he has a specific view of what a real movie is and what it isn't then it's still his opinion. He's a director he's going to have his convictions as to what he assumes art is and what it isn't or what a good movie is or isn't etc and he has the right to feel how he feels just like we do. Which is why I don't get why this is a big deal or news. He's a very old school director and has a very specific vision of film and what it should and shouldn't be. Doesn't mean everyone will agree with him or even needs to. It's no different than one mc calling another wack and saying dope mcs don't rap like that

 

[Flychologist]

"A real movie wouldn't do that" Well I guess marvel is fake movie-ing it all the way to the bank.

Its a fukking movie about a super powered alien fighting other super powered aliens from his homeworld. Stop feeling yourself. You want to make a "real movie" why pick the comic book genre. I never got the hype about this guy.He turned batman into an average joe part time superhero but full time idiot and people love him for it.

How dope would a end credits scene of lex luthor or braniac looking at video of superman getting busy like have been

I think "Avatar" is a terrible movie but it's critically acclaimed and made close to $3 bill. That's the reality of the situation. So sitting here saying "it's terrible"....I don't understand the point. Yes it's my opinion but who cares?

Likewise there have been after credits scenes before, during and (probably) after Nolan. So saying "I don't consider them real movies"....if that's his preference career-wise there's way to word it without sounding like a hipster. It just comes off corny as fukk.

That's my opinion. Like I said, I expect the occasional nonsense from Hollywood, this has no bearing on me checking for his movies.

Fred.

 

[Norrin Radd]

Let Nolan go make his "real" movies Glad he's done with comic book movies.

 

[AkaDemiK]

whole theater went crazy....unforgettable moment....and then the dark knight came ou...met and blew away all the hype we had during this moment...

all hail Nolan

 

[luckyse7enz]

so does this mean i wont be staying for the end credits of Interstellar?

I'm still sitting here, waiting for the post-credit scenes for "The Prestige" & "Inception", breh. :lupegarvey:

 

[Jello Biafra]

You know that would be really dope....


like instead of showing 15 minutes of trailers they could do short vignettes on Aquaman, Cyborg, Flash, etc. Little mini movies that tease the origins/mythology of the characters. That's actually a genius fukking idea breh

They could do what Snyder did in Watchmen where he showed the whole history of super-heroes in the opening credits.
People like to shyt on Zack (for some odd reason) but that opening of Watchmen was a thing of beauty:

I feel that to a degree I just don't think there's anything wrong with him saying how he feels especially if he was asked. Nolan doesn't strike me as a guy who will hold his tongue or be worried about how people will take something he says. Like I said I saw nothing wrong with it. and definitely don't see it as nonsense

And now everyone can chill out:

Christopher Nolan Denies Marvel Studios Dig
“I would never say someone else’s film isn’t ‘a real film,’” the filmmaker told BuzzFeed News.

Despite a recent report, director Christopher Nolan denies ever slamming the films released by Marvel Studios as not “real,” BuzzFeed News has learned.

Nolan, whose filmmaking clout and renown skyrocketed off the billion dollar grosses of his Dark Knight trilogy, also produced and co-wrote the story for the 2013 Superman reboot Man of Steel, directed by Zack Snyder. In a profile in The Guardian posted on Tuesday pegged to his latest film Interstellar, Nolan reportedly slammed Marvel Studios’ trademark end credits sequences after Warner Bros. suggested to him and Snyder that Man of Steel conclude with a similar “comedy coda ending.” Nolan’s reported reply: “A real movie wouldn’t do that.”

Nolan, however, emphatically denies ever saying that.

“I would never say someone else’s film isn’t ‘a real film,’” Nolan said in a statement to BuzzFeed News. “The quote is inaccurate.” The concern for Nolan and Snyder was adhering to Man of Steel’s overall darker and more serious tone, and to forge a cinematic path separate from Marvel Studios, according to a source with knowledge of the production. (Nolan and his producing partner and wife Emma Thomas are executive producing the 2016 sequel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.)

A spokesperson for The Guardian in the U.S. did not immediately return a request for comment.

Nolan’s purported quote — and quick denial — touches on the decades-long rivalry between DC Comics (home of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the rest of the Justice League) and Marvel Comics (home of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and the rest of the Avengers). Both Warner Bros., a corporate cousin of DC Entertainment, and Marvel Studios, owned by the Walt Disney Company, recently announced ambitious movie slates that stretch through the end of this decade. Whether the marketplace can sustain that many superhero movies remains an open question; some elbow-throwing in the press would make sense, and make headlines. Just not, apparently, this time.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Good for Nolan. It would be Cool if it was them that had done it 1st but that's more of a Marvel thing. Also, the Easter Eggs were enough.

i'll admit i am conflicted when it comes to snyder.

mostly because i believe his name is attached to both the best (arguably) and worst (arguably) superhero movies of all time.

whole theater went crazy....unforgettable moment....and then the dark knight came ou...met and blew away all the hype we had during this moment...

all hail Nolan

Woulda been myself

 

[NobodyReally]

If he said that its definitely a shot at Marvel. All he had to say was "don't do that" or "no". Instead he deliberately says "no real movie" does that
