First off, we want to apologize in advance to Matt Damon. We were going to include him on this episode as a surprise guest, but went through the run of show and he decided he had to spend time with Ben Affleck instead.
RETRO//RANKED is a Rolling Tape network series ranking the individual entries of beloved franchises and filmographies, timed to major new releases. For season 7, we’re diving into the complete filmography of Christopher Nolan, building episode by episode, two films at a time, toward the release of his latest film, The Odyssey.
We are in July now. It is Odyssey month. It’s right there in the distance, we can almost touch it.
Interstellar is Christopher Nolan’s ninth film. It was released on October 26, 2014, interestingly not in July. Steven Spielberg, who was attached to direct this movie in 2006, hired Jonathan Nolan to write the screenplay, but chose other projects to direct instead. This is the first movie Nolan worked with Hoyte van Hoytema as Director of Photography. Van Hoytema has gone on as the Cinematographer for all of Nolan’s forthcoming movies, including The Odyssey.
Dunkirk is Nolan’s tenth movie. It was released on July 21, 2017. After first-hand accounts of the Dunkirk evacuation revealed to the writer, producer, and director how young and inexperienced the soldiers were, he decided to cast young and unknown actors for the beach setting. This of course included a small, unknown indie artist making his way in the pop music scene, Harry Styles.
Enjoy all VIDEO episodes of SEASON 7 one week ahead of their public audio-only release.
