Anne Hathaway: Christopher Nolan Doesn't Allow Chairs on His Movie Sets
- Thread starter Mariolee
- Start date
You laugh but in Brazil this would be an easy win if proven true.
ps. Not jail time, but the employee would be condemned to pay damages
The chair thing is bullshit.
But I tend to like working with no nonsense people. Everyone gets out faster if milling about is reduced. Grip/electric/riggers should be able to sit as often as the can. They have hard labor intensive jobs.
I was shooting this morning while people were having the most nonchalant attitude and long conversations outside of what we were doing. It's a bit different because it was for an indy doc and lay people aren't always comfortable in front of the camera. Good idea to get them relaxed a bit. But I was so ready to just get to business while the producer was yammering on... then again, he hadn't been up since 4 am preparing like I was.
Edit: I've been on sets with no bottled waters. Mostly because they were trying to be more green. They provided Sparkletts type jugs.

Reading the update, seeing the initial posts... Some people really want to be angry about shit, I guess. Idk how this gets any energy from anyone.
It was a nothing statement but the people that had an axe to grind got their shots in lol... embarrassing.
Because if there's one job where there's no downtime while you wait sometimes hours for other people to get ready, it's working on a film set... /s
You shit heads equate bottled water to no water at all lol....again, haters.
next week it'll be about how much of a monster he is for liking pineapple on his pizza

I don't have any negative opinions on Nolan's films, but (assuming it is as straightforward as I read it) is Anne Hathaway really trying to draw conclusions based on 1 individual?
"Oh he makes fantastic movies, maybe not allowing people to sit on set is good"
That's like if Hideo Kojima forced all of his employees to be naked while designing his games.
"Well his games are all critical darlings and he's clearly an auteur, he might be onto something with this whole "you work through your skin" idea!".
Edit: Looking at the threadmark, seems it might be some misinformation. I'll leave the original comment.

People are mad that Nolan is pushing so hard to get movie theaters back open during the pandemic
He's not even pushing hard for theatres to open. He's just pushing for his film to be one of the first major releases when they do. He's literally said when theatres are ready, his film will be ready to go.
More like if you do not know what you are talking about you should probably not speak.
Everyone here wants be the authority on everything when it's probably best to not say anything and appear to be a moron reacting a bit too swiftly later on.
Lmao
First thing i did was CTRL+ F to see who would mention apple boxes.
I'd settle for sitting on a pile of sandbags lol
I mean this is a reason to be upset at him but people try to snowball things like that with this and it doesn't work for me.
I highly doubt Nolan is actively denying seating for people with disabilities on his sets. Yet here we are and apparently he was never a good director either. This place is really funny.
I think the whole concept of "outrage culture" is totally overblown, but jesus sometimes people really are looking to shout over nothing, because god damn that first page is hilarious comparing him to industrial warehouse managers
Oh for sure , Prestige and Memento are so poorly written lol
y'all are on some bizzaro world if you see 99% of the shit that comes out every year and call Nolan a poor writer lol
theres some mediocre screenplays from him but gtfo with him being a bad writer overall
I do love those movies!
But Inception, TDKR and Interstellar... not so much
In his more recent films I think his dialogue is what is poorly written.
As an overall writer I think he's better off less involved.
What??? LOL the irony in this post. God forbid actors have to do reshoots, most of which are preplanned and in their contracts. Bringing up Snyder in this thread, who is widely known as a great director to work with, regardless of movie quality, is pretty insane.
"How the story is represented on Era" is I suppose a pretty consistent issue across a broad range of stories lol
edit: actually to be fair, this is more of an Internet problem period.
If you think letting people sit down and drink water on set are acceptable, you don't know shit about making movies /s
I think The Prestige is his best writing. I can't think of anything too expository or cringey.
There IS expository dialogue but it doesn't feel like it. Nothing as clunky as Inception. Even The Dark Knight has some stinkers.
Can't remember much from Insomnia.

Confirmation bias. Era has had a Nolan hate boner for the last few months. Can't wait for more people to embarrass themselves without reading the update
wtf does this even mean?
Bale has gone on record numerous times that he kept making them due to Nolan being on board.
Affleck couldn't wait to stop being Batman and he never even had a solo movie lol
Haha yeah. Seems it's just as good in reverse. Pretty versatile gif if you ask me.
It means that the way they wrote Batman after Begins was as someone that couldn't wait to stop being Batman so he could settle down with Rachel and leave it behind, which is directly contradictory to the story that Begins set up. I'm not talking about the actor, I'm talking about the way they wrote the character.
The whole "I can't wait for the day someone else can protect Gotham so I can travel the world and hang out with my childhood sweetheart" bullshit is my biggest sticking point with the movies after Begins.
When the movie is in theaters, then you have my permission to sit.
Sitting raises the risk of an earlier death so he's actually saving these people and they should be thanking him. If anyone should go to jail it's the people who make the chairs.
Sitting has cost you your strength! The chair has defeated you!
When its a story about a person/thing they don't like, people tend to work backwards from the position that said person/thing is "trash". Welcome to ResetEra. Enjoy your stay here.
