Jonathan Nolan Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

EXCLUSIVE: The door to Westworld was slammed shut today as HBO confirmed that the dystopian sci-fi series will not get a fifth season. It was bad news for anyone associated with the show, led by creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, who had been hoping and advocating for another chapter, but for the main cast, there was some silver lining. I hear they will be paid for Season 5 regardless of the fact that it will not be produced.

Joe Otterson TV Reporter “Fallout” has been renewed for Season 2 at Amazon Prime Video. The announcement comes after Variety reported that a second season was set to receive $25 million in tax credits by relocating shooting to the state of California. Based on the video game franchise of the same name, the series is set two hundred years after the apocalypse.

Walton Goggins, in a gruesome starring role in Prime Video’s apocalyptic sci-fi series Fallout, said he knew he knew he was in for “an intense experience” having to transform every day on set into The Ghoul, a post-human character with melting flesh, a cowboy persona and some semblance of his humanity still left.

What To Watch.What to watch: 7 movies and shows to stream this week — March 29What to watch: 7 movies and shows to stream this week — April 5It’s a big week for releases. “Fallout,” based on the beloved video game franchise, its one of them, bringing us into a post-apocalyptic America that’s stuck with the look of the ‘50s and the soul of the Wild West. It’s adapted by Jonathan Nolan, who’s previously worked on sci-fi TV shows like “Westworld.” Pedro Almodovar was once linked to a “Brokeback Mountain” adaptation, a story that trails two cowboys‘ long and tortured romance.

Prime Video’s “Fallout” is here. Now streaming, “Fallout” is similar to HBO’s Emmy-winning “The Last Of Us” in the sense that it’s also a dystopian series based on a popular video game. Aside from the inevitable comparisons, “Fallout” is different enough to stand on its own.

Has it been ten years? Yes, it’s been ten and thus, Paramount will re-release Christopher Nolan‘s 2014 fall tentpole, Interstellar. The Warner Bros. co-production will hit theaters this fall. The movie grossed $188M stateside, north of $733M worldwide. Prints for Interstellar will include 70M and Imax.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jonathan Nolan appeared on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast to tout his latest television series, Prime Video’s “Fallout,” but the conversation touched on Nolan’s time co-writing Batman movies with his brother, Christopher Nolan. The siblings share screenwriting credit on 2008’s “The Dark Knight” and 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises.” Jonathan admitted that he was pushing for the Riddler to be the primary villain of “Rises” and not Bane, which is what Christopher and David S. Goyer were planning.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Prime Video’s “Fallout,” inspired by the video game series, is launching an awards campaign ahead of this year’s Emmys, with the streamer eyeing nominations for outstanding drama series among others. Variety has exclusively learned the Emmy campaign strategies for its main actors: Walton Goggins, Ella Purnell and Aaron Moten. Goggins, portraying the mutated gunslinger Cooper Howard, aka The Ghoul, and Purnell, playing young Vault Dweller Lucy, are both in the running for lead acting categories.

Built on a wearying cheerful optimism/cruel fatalism dichotomy—contrasting chords that aren’t all that engaging or novel to begin with but repeated ad nauseum regardless—it’s astonishing just how quickly the post-apocalyptic sci-fi series, “Fallout,” wears out its welcome. Startlingly glib, one-note, and yet self-assured in its vacant design, the series reveals its shallow hand very early.

Three months after it was renewed for season five, HBO abruptly changed course and suddenly canceled “Westworld” last year, the dystopian science-fiction series by creator Jonathan Nolan (co-writer on ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy) and his wife and creative partner Lisa Joy. “Westworld” wasn’t cheap to make; the ten-episode first season was reportedly produced on a budget of approximately $100 million, with per-episode budgets somewhere between $8 million to $10 million, and the pilot episode alone costing $25 million to produce.

The annals of unmade Christopher Nolan films are not particularly long. Perhaps one of the legendary projects mentioned in the past was Nolan’s unrealized Howard Hughes project—some brief elements of which he folded into Bruce Wayne’s recluse period in “The Dark Knight Rises.” There was also, at one point in the past, Nolan’s intentions of remaking the surreal 1960s TV series, “The Prisoner,” created by and starring Patrick McGoohan (which is loosely rumored to be among the next projects he is thinking about making post “Oppenheimer”).

Christopher Nolan was initially “hesitant” to make The Dark Knight, the director’s brother has revealed.In 2003, Warner Bros. Pictures tapped Memento director Christopher Nolan to helm an untitled Batman film, which was released in 2005 titled Batman Begins.

Christopher Nolan wasn’t initially sold on the idea of directing The Dark Knight.

UPDATE APRIL 8: Prime Video has moved up the premiere of its high-profile new drama series Fallout, from Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, based on the worldwide best-selling retro-futuristic video game franchise. All eight episodes of the post-apocalyptic series will premiere April 10 at at 6 PM PT. The surprise drop was revealed in a new Fallout ad that aired during Monday’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Game. The drama had previously been slated for April 12 debut.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jonathan Nolan said during a recent interview on the “Armchair Expert” podcast with Dax Shepard that it took some convincing to get his brother, Christopher Nolan, to agree to direct “The Dark Knight.” The filmmaker had already hit a superhero movie slam dunk with “Batman Begins” and was hesitant to make another comic book movie because he didn’t want his career getting pigeonholed. “I worked on ‘Batman Begins’ in this slightly arm’s length capacity, but it was the one comic book my brother ever given me as a kid, ‘Batman: Year One,’ for my 14th birthday, and 10 years later I was on the set working with him,” Jonathan said, remembering thinking “this is nuts.” “Chris was on the fence about making another one,” Jonathan continued, noting that Chris went straight from “Batman Begins” into helming the magician thriller “The Prestige.” “He didn’t want to become a superhero movie director.” Jonathan said that Chris was “very proud” of “Batman Begins,” but “to me, it was like we built this amazing sports car, and I’m like, ‘Let’s take it for a drive.

Jonathan Nolan (“Westworld”) is out in the world promoting his upcoming post-apocalyptic Amazon series “Fallout” and, of course, his time working on “The Dark Knight” trilogy with his brother Christopher Nolan is still a topic that journalists are insatiable curious about. While speaking with Josh Horowitz on his podcast, Happy Sad Confused, Nolan took a tour down memory lane, reflecting on all things Batman.

It seems like Fallout season 2 might already be confirmed by Amazon’s Prime Video, days ahead of the season one premiere.

While he was known for years as Christopher Nolan’s co-writer, his younger brother, Jonathan Nolan, has really taken off in recent years and made his name for himself on television. Following shows like “Person of Interest” and HBO’s “Westworld,” a series he created and led for many years, the younger Nolan is about to debut his latest show, “Fallout,” on Amazon Prime.

Just days before its debut, Fallout looks to be assured a second season thanks to a $25 million tax credit from California.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer “Fallout,” the post-apocalyptic series debuting this week on Amazon Prime, is expected to relocate to California for its second season, thanks to $25 million in California tax credits. The California Film Commission announced Monday that it has awarded $152 million in tax incentives to a dozen TV shows. The list also includes two shows from Ryan Murphy, “Dr.

Today’s Hollywood stars are more “sophisticated” and “aware of the business” than in the days Kyle MacLachlan was starting out, the Sex and the City star said today as he gave his thoughts on another Twin Peaks reboot.
