Christopher Nolan Trivia Questions

Nolan cameos rarely—he appears briefly in The Dark Knight Rises and Dunkirk, but not in every film, and never as a taxi driver.

Shot on weekends over a year with a tiny crew, 'Following' cost about $6,000 and launched Nolan's career.

The 2006 film 'The Prestige' is adapted from Christopher Priest's 1995 novel. The screenplay was co-written by Jonathan Nolan, but it is not true that it was written before the novel; the novel came first.

Nolan minimizes CGI but uses it subtly, like for the Tesseract in Interstellar and city destruction in The Dark Knight Rises.

Dunkirk had a tight 76-page script based on three timelines; Nolan storyboarded heavily but the script was essential for structure.

Nolan bans cell phones during filming to maintain focus and secrecy, a policy he's enforced since Memento.

Nolan studied English literature at UCL, not physics—though he took some science electives and later consulted physicists for Interstellar.

At age 11, Nolan borrowed his dad's Super 8 camera and made 'Larceny,' a short about a petty thief, showing early ambition.
