- On February 2, 2024, after a screening of TENET in IMAX 70mm Film at AMC CityWalk, Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve sat down for a conversation about cinema. This is that conversation.

these two really are the definitive IMAX guys in Hollywood rn
Now all we have to do is get Villeneuve to switch from shooting on digital to film
@@aidenknight6948 you can excuse it for Dune, since sand can easily ruin physical film.
And Tom cruise to some extent
At least Nolan gives us the IMAX ratio on Bluray 🙄… love them both but Denis is pissing me the f off I NEED HIS IMAX FILMS ON 4K WE WILL PAY FOR IT!!
@@Rauruatreides yeh it's coarse and rough and irritating, and it really does get everywhere (sorry couldn't resist lol)
The bromance I didn’t know we needed
I wonder if what kind of spectacular result we'd get if they did a project together.
Two of my favorite directors together.
Same 😂
the nolan to villenueve pipeline is so real 😭😭
Same here 😊
Add Martin scorsese then we have the holy trinity
I prefer Terrence Malick.@@landonsigrest317
I am so pleased that Chris took the time to honor my best friend, Scott Nall, a talented projectionist at WB. Chris knows how to thank those who work so hard to make his films stand out. Thank you Chris!
Sorry for your loss ❤
I have been working as a projectionist for more than 15 years and was pleasantly surprised by the words of Christopher Nolan at the end. In the huge chain of people who create films, we are the last to convey this miracle to the audience. Thank you very much!) And I’m 100% sure... film will be better than digital for a very long time.
Sorry for your loss
Cinema Paradiso!! ❤😢
Chris should interview his bffl Zack Snyder on his rebel moon.. itll help boost confidence on whoever will own WB in reviving snyderverse!!
Nolan: "..you couldn't breathe air when inverted"
Villeneuve: "but what happens if you eat a chicken"
I love these two
And me - what happens when you poop 😂
That was pretty funny
I thought that was a nod to the chicken and egg conundrum.
@@sagar4712 Oh man. I'd never ever go to Taco Bell again i recon ;)
Christopher Nolan just RIP shouted out a projectionist. That's class.
KINGS of CINEMA
yes❤
Gods
Fortunate to be witnessing their craft and filmography grow
Watching Nolan and Villeneuve talk about cinema for half an hour is better than porn. And more healthy for your brain function, too.
Damn right!
lol
Get help
Think this undersells the coolness of the video, because quite frankly most things are.
@@paradise_valley i see what you are saying. now that you said it "it is a shame to compare the two things but i understand what the guy is coming from.
It’s funny because we were supposed to get Tenet and Dune Part 1 in the same year originally until the pandemic. And then we were supposed to get Oppenheimer and Dune Part 2 in the same year until the strikes.
The world has its way of working
I have a feeling they will both release their next movie in 2026. Nolan in July and Denis in November
@@soufian2733then Denis' film gets pushed? lol
Dune always getting delayed
I’m actually kinda glad this happened because it allows both directors work to stand out among everything else in their years of release, though I would have loved to see Tenet and Dune Part 1 duke it out at the Oscars one year and Oppenheimer and Dune Part 2 the next
Crazy how before Nolan no other Hollywood filmakers ever tried using IMAX for commercial feature lenght films. Nolan truly is a gift for modern cinema. So thank You Chris for choosing IMAX film over 3D
Nolan leveraged his success to enable him to use IMAX. If we could get a number of directors and producers to team up and convince theatres and studios to get more 35mm cinema projectors operational cinema might be saved.
@@Art-is-craft but many hates Nolan tho critics and yotuuber and new gen filmakers who prefer digital always trashing his films
@@RizkyGumilar-qg4wu
Digital and poor movies have driven adults away from cinema theatres.
@@Art-is-craft95% of the audience doesn't know or care what medium the film is captured or presented in. Both digital and film have pros and cons and are nothing more than tools. What matters far more is the skill of the artists using the tools.
That's half snobbery/hipster attitude, and half artistry. Most producers wouldn't accept to pay the millions needed to use IMAX, when a digital camera with postprocessing (sometimes analog film passes) can do the deal, for so much less money. Even Villeneuve did so for dune part 1
Nolan comparing Dune part two to his favorite Star Wars film (and arguably the best in the saga) Empire Strikes Back is a huge compliment. Surprised there isn’t an article with this in the headline. I wish Disney did a limited IMAX release of the OT. Every May for three years a limited week engagement for a Star Wars film on IMAX isn’t the worst marketing idea.
yes there are articles
Uf I’d love to see Empire Strikes Back on Imax
Honestly I feel like Dune is so much different from Star wars by just looking at the fact that Star Wars was made to be a kids movie, while Dune is an adptation from a way more mature sci fi story. Star Wars is great, dont get me wrong, I love it, but I think that comparing Dune to it is not the best compliment in my honest opinion
@@Kimera92i hear you... but i will say that when I read Dune, it does come across like Arrakis is dingy dirty and rusty much the same way A New Hope is. Vilenuev's version of Dune feels much cleaner, perhaps a bit too clean
Disney are plough hundreds of millions in to disaster after disaster. I am convinced modern Disney has no clue what it is doing.
Absolute titans. Super important to cinema. Movies like Prisoners and Oppenheimer bridge the cap between cinephiles and the general audience perfectly.
Damn I loved DV’s process writing, storyboard, dreaming, rewriting and then improv.
No wonder you can FEEL his films.
But he can still make them quick and cheap.
It's crazy how much cheaper Dune 1 compared to Eternals.
And the time he took to make all the films from Prisoners to this. Only COVID and strikes delayed the releases
"Dreams are messages from the deep"
I wanna take from that as well. Loved it!
Isn’t that a Jung quote? If so, quite fascinating that it’s the first line in the introduction of Dune.
Find someone who looks at you the way Nolan looks at Villeneuve. ❤.
My grandfather was a great fan of dune the books and he loved the cinema aswell and when the dune movie came out he was happy like a kid on Chrismas dune part one was the last cinema movie before he died (cancer) and I want to say thank u denis Villeneuve every time I watch dune part 1 I have these great memories of him in my head.
When it’s all said and done these two will undoubtedly go down as the best our generation had to offer
Agree
Bong Joon Ho deserves a spot on that list too. Memories of Murder, Mother, Parasite and Snowpiercer are superb movies with so much intelligence, artistry and depth.
@@happymaskedguy1943 the thing with him is he’s been around since the very early 2000s while Denis and Nolan started to go on there streaks near the rear end of the 2000s and dominated the 2010s
They’re all the same generation of filmmakers, WTF you on about 😂
That's pretty sad, if that's the case. I certainly hope not.
I'm so totally here for the Nolan-Villeneuve bromance.
Two of the champions of modern filmmaking.
Denis’s achievement with BR2049, Dune and all his past films for that matter is remarkable and often under-appreciated.
And Chris.. needless to say.. his impact on storytelling on a large scale with such a personal touch is monumental.
I always felt like Prisoners and Sicario were his superior works. They're all good, but 2049 and Dune just feel like low hanging fruit to be able to impress people with
@@Nova-fh2et Yeah. Sicario is a great film.
@@Nova-fh2etand Arrival!
Arrival is goddamn underrated
@@Nova-fh2etJust because the scale is larger, doesn’t make it low hanging fruit
This conversation should be 3 hours long.... 2 legendary directors speaking to each other should be recorded for the next generation to study and grasp more about these creative minds
The way tenet is talked about and discussed completely disregards the fact that what Nolan put on screen in that film was completely an utterly unique. How does somebody even take a thought like that and execute it so perfectly. I envy anyone who got to see Tenet in cinema
You can just tell in this video that the two of them respect and admire each other so much. Two titans of the film industry at the top of their respective games. This was such a great conversation.
Seeing BR2049 is what really convinced me of imax as a format.
The last 30 minutes felt like Zimmer and Wallfisch were trying to blow out my eardrums.
I loved it 😅
I was in my mall and was debating whether to go to this movie which was playing in imax at that time. I didn't go as I don't know much about BR franchise . I kick myself whenever I see comments like this.
@@mg-lm6tgit's the greatest cinema experience I've ever had and likely ever will have. Incredible movie.
The two greatest and creative and intelligent Directors of our time.
2 of the best directors of our time ❤
Of their time..
Just two LEGENDS in one big frame
I love these men. I had the absolute honor of working on DKR for four days and having a true front row seat to watching Christopher Nolan direct. A master of his craft. I’ll never ever forget that experience. And we shot in IMAX those days as well. What a dream.
why would you write it as DKR? makes no sense
@@ollek Dark Knight Rises… that’s a pretty common way to abbreviate that film.
What did you do on set?
Undoubtedly the two greatest filmmakers of this generation. The ultimate duo of moviemaking. Almost both of them have made EVERY single one of their films are masterpieces. 🔥
I dont think they're either even top 10. You gotta watch more movies
@@filip1261Then give us your top 10 list, since you seem to know a lot about cinema
@@alexdelaluz7846 No specific order: Kiarostami, Claire Denis, Kaufman, Kore-eda, Lynch, P.T.A., Farhadi, Shunji Iwai, Hideaki Anno, Barry Jenkins, Fernando Meirelles. All better
@@filip1261I Have never heard of any of those people. I'm going to go ahead and assume you are very very wrong.
@@moretac I'm surprised @filip1261 has not replied to you saying "well, you wouldn't know them" LOL, so hipster to name drop a bunch of directors virtually no one knows because only he is in the know...
Like watching Alfred Hitchcock and John Ford interview each other.
Love this reference😊
Wow. That's a little bit exaggerated.
@@SonateSonate they’re two of the of the premiere Directors of the 21st Century. Hitchcock and Ford were two of the premiere directors of the 20th Century.
@@kevinnavarro2180 still not a fair comparison in terms of body of work and influence through the years
@@SonateSonate what would be a fair comparison?
Nolan has got to be the man to direct the next bond movie.
I’d much rather have him direct an original story and not be a vessel for a decades-old played-out franchise
@@thekonsti4712 Completely agree. What a waste of talent for a Bond movie.
@@thekonsti4712 Don't you think he might be able to reinvent the franchise and add a new spin to it, reinvigorate it? Especially considering how he is a Bond superfan?
Watching Nolan and Villeneuve is surreal, two of my heroes. The fact that they are fans of each other makes it even better
Holy two godly directors in the same frame. Never thought I see the day 🔥
Probably my two favorite directors working today and its incredible not only what they are doing, but the admiration and respect they have for each other. One thing that has shined with Nolan that I wish was discussed more, while he comes off as this deeply intellectual man with high tastes wrapped in an english gentleman's manner - he flashes this brilliant love for so much diverse cinema, highlighting the the fast and furious movies, especially Tokyo Drift. Or here, calling out Empire Strikes back and saying Dune 2 is equal to it with Dune 1 being Star Wars. I thing that flows through his movies in a way similar to Cameron in the sense that, the action and story drive and carry people through, and he remembers it and that is why he is so damn successful, especially making so many original stories.
Please make Nolan direct the Children of Dune. These two guys are for my life, one of the reasons why life is good and why it is beatiful to live for.
You can really feel the admiration of each other's work in this conversation. Two legends.
Nolan is a cinematic genius! It's always a pleasure to hear him speak at any length, especially for a film as overlooked as Tenet
Tenet had the misfortune of being released right after the COVID-19 lockdowns. People were afraid to go to the cinema; this was still nearly a year before vaccines were widely available. So it barely got a theatrical run before streaming / disc releases happened. I'm glad for the re-release and am going to see it in IMAX 15/70 later this month. (Already have seen it twice on UHD Blu-ray.)
Tanat has the misfortune of not answering the question why should audiences care about the characters in the movie. The concept of the movie was so complicated in some parts that he forgot to tell the human story in it.
C. N. has to go back to basics of storytelling and ask himself why Inception and Dark Knight are his most praised movies. Where did it derailed in Tanat and Oppenheimer.
Storytelling, characterization and human bonding are as just as important as the concepts he is exploring. He is pretty much stuck in his own limbo of conceptualizing that he forgot about the question why should somone care about the worldbuilding, storyline.
You can create a world as magnificent as it can get but people's consciousnes have to populate it.
C. N. should take his own advise and watch Inception to understand why Tanat failed.
@@colindunn9964COVID was and is a joke. The movie was great in theaters and people should have went to see it.
Tenet was a miss… Interesting concept, but didnt translate to film
@@mr.ripley3846while I agree completely, I'm still very happy that a movie like it exists and that I watched it in IMAX, like I did Interstellar (which is one of my absolute favorite movies).
Bring 15/70mm IMAX back to Texas!
Did they get rid of a 15/70 projector there? I noticed that downtown Sacramento had Oppenheimer showing in 15/70 (with some problems) but is apparently not showing Dune 2 in 15/70. We went from 13 to 12 Imax theaters in the US within months.
@@razoraz The Dallas projector broke towards the end of Oppenheimer's run and the San Antonio theatre has practically given up trying to support the format. All we got is Dual Laser in Austin :/
The conversation between these two legends is the most prestigious present I've ever got on my b'day.
Who's here because Dune Part Two was the most incredible cinematic experience they've ever had in their life?
It's my new favorite movie. I'm in love with it, I'm in love with Villenueve, I can't get enough of it. What a masterpiece. Fingers crossed for Dune 3.
Here brother . watched it in the cinema 6 times (2 on THE BIGGEST IMAX available in my country) 😅
There should be a On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’s bluray with a Nolan commentary. Come on MGM!
Two of the best directors working not only in sci-fi, but in all of film today
i cant believe i got to experience both the Trinity Test and the Sandworm Ride in IMAX. These two guys are the new fathers of CINEMA
I absolutely love denis commentary on how dune part 2 is still singular and stand alone. Just like the dark knight you can go in without seeing the first and be completely enthralled and engaged. I find those to be my favorite types of films.
LONG LIVE FILM, LONG LIVE IMAX - thank you Christopher Nolan for bringing Denis Villenieve's Dune visions to IMAX via these film prints. #GOATS!
Not exactly sure why people are so eager for Nolan to fail. Whilst at the same time - bemoaning the state of original ideas in cinema. TENET was a masterpiece and the single most original thing i've seen in years. But as it was released in 2020 - it " *only* " made around $350m . Then they moaned that Oppenheimer " *only* " made it's money because of barbie. Did they forget that The Dark Knight and ...Rises each made over a billion dollars ? I don't understand it.
Dune 2 is a Master Piece! Denis Villeneuve is a genius !
The cinema that is bleeding through this video is nice
My two favourite directors LETS GOOOO
The relationship between Time and entropy is so interesting, how amazing is it to have these two directors who've explored these themes so thoroughly in their work in the same room talking about it? gotta love it!
What a treat. Two of the greatest directors currently working in film, in conversation - doesn't get much better.
My two favorite directors face to face. Love the mutual admiration and that they feed off each other creatively. 💯
Hearing these two giants of cinema give each other props is honestly so awesome!
Chris Nolan saving movie theatres since 2000
I do not think he is saving theatres. I doubt cinema is dead. Digital theatres playing shiny CGI events is inferior and has driven adults away from theatres. I do not think Nolan can turn that Disaster around.
@@Art-is-craft Watch him do it closely. He's still alive and committed to making large screen theatrical films.
@@RaviVazirani-fs6nz
I do not think he can do it him self. If he really wants to save cinema he needs to make a movie that appeals to a general market and focuses on 35mm film that gets more 35mm cinemas up and running. He needs help from other directors and producers who are committed to doing the same thing.
Michael bay as well!
@@mg-lm6tg
What about Michael Bay.
Tenet is incredible. Glad to see it come back.
You should try watching the inverted version of Tenet. It will blow your mind!
It's more entertaining and engaging than Oppenheimer was.
I LOVE when DV say that he uses storyboarding to "find" the movie. This is such an important concept in any creative endeavour. It's the notion that ideas have a life of their own, which goes beyond the mind of the creator, and that really the creator is simply a vessel, with the duty of unleashing this idea that's come to them. Riveting conversation.
“They act like two legends cannot coexist”
The absolute show runners together! Christopher Nolan has taken himself into a different height. So happy for him!
Dennis>>>>>
The coliseum scene was absolutely incredible. Cinema perfection
The mind and heart of the modern cinema rn. Deni I feell like more into the feelings side and Chris is the one who will explore more rational side of things. But both doing it with unknown before style
Tenet is fucking incredible. Yeah, yeah, I get the complaints about how abstract it is and the lack of "strong narrative," but that film is something else entirely. Might be my favourite work of Nolan's. It doesn't surprise me in the least that Villeneuve is so enthralled with it-I tripped balls watching Arrival.
I wish it was talked about more.
Oppenheimer and Dune part 2 are two of the best movies I've ever seen in my 36 years of life. The fact they both came out in the last year is low-key crazy.
Arrival and Interstellar are some of my favorite movies also.
Sicario and TDK are undeniably incredible.
These guys are absolute masters of their craft.
For the love of god, please keep these two in separate bunkers at all times. Watching them next to each other makes me nervous about the ceiling collapsing or something.
21st century cinema owes so much to these two maestros. The only two directors that I would automatically go to the theatres on release.
So grateful to have these two making the movies they from big-budget action sci-fi to impactful dramas. In my mind Denis and Nolan single-handedly saving cinema. They’re are not only saving true cinema, they’re evolving it.
Still I have to gloat a little…I absolutely CALLED it! I knew Christopher Nolan’s original inception for ‘Tenet’ from was born from the filmmaking process. I feel like nobody else was talking about that. It dawned on me when you see the scientist pick up a bullet in reverse. It was like memento, and like other filmmaking tricks I’ve seen. It’s a bit play on films ability to manipulate time. Plus it’s his bong movie, where he can freely play with the form without having to deal with Sony and Eon.
Saw Dune 2 at the AMC Metreon yesterday in San Francisco. The screen and sound were so overwhelming, it was a religious experience.
Dune part 2 is a masterpice, going to watch it many times.
Two masters having a conversation.
Two of the greatest directors EVER.
Not everyone will agree with what I'm about to say but to me, these two have reached Martin Scorcese's legendary status.
Who's Martin Scorsese? ;)
This is historic. WHY IS THIS NOT ADVERTISED THROUGHOUT EVERY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM . This was masterful
Absolutely incredible. Two of the greatest at their craft just chatting it up.
Omg!!! Nola is saying everything ive been thinking about Dune
two of the greats!
Two brilliant filmmakers of the modern era
Two of my absolute favorite filmmakers.
Awesome, can't wait for part 2!
Superb. Two of my all-time favorites.
Two greatest film directors of our time on one panel. Wow!
Great seeing favorite directors discussing together!!
Two legends, we’re very lucky to have them.
GOATs of this generation, we need directors like these to continue the legacy made by Scorsese, Kubrick and others.
Wow, this is such an incredible treat to have two of the greatest living aueters speaking about their craft. Easily become one of my favourite Q&A's. It's clear that they have an immense respect for eachother, aswell as the big screen experience and art form.
Nolan and Villeneuve in one room!? 😱 thats like a Dream❣️
Two of the best directors on the planet.
Denis, on veut Rendez-vous avec Rama et Cléopatre en IMAX 15/70 🤙🏻
It’s always great to watch people talk about what they are passionate about. You can understand why they are so amazing in their field, because they are both nerds about it. It’s wonderful to watch.
Two brilliant filmakers from this century.
these 2 directors are right here the best of this era and my favorite one's
Can't wait! I'm lucky enough to live just a few miles from a true 70mm IMAX screen with film projector. Been looking forward to this film for 3 years.
❤️ these two.
two great visionaries. Absolute legends.. Thank you IMAX for bringing them together.. i can watch them talk about their trade all day
Tenet is having a little revival right now. I think it’s a great under appreciated film.
2 biggest cinematic talents of nowadays finally sitting together!
Great respect and hello from Ukraine (watched Dune-2 yesterday, and definitely will watch in the theatre again!)
Listening the 2 greatest filmmakers of our time having a conversation is just breathtaking.
2 absolute masters of their craft.....absolutely love their movies.
Watching a master talk to a master is really satisfying.
I just watched Dune 2, and i would just like to say to Denis, thank you :D
MY MOST 2 FAVORITE DIRECTORS BY FAR!!!! Much love and respect for their work
After seeing "Dune 2", I'm betting that Nolan's glad it came out this year instead of last year. "Part 2" is extraordinary. I thought "Part 1" was lacking something, but - holy crap - "Part 2" is just an incredible piece of work.
This is just amazing. two of the best directors right now, or even all time, having a talk and sharing their knowledge!
I could listen to these directors talk for hours about their craft,it´s so interesting
It takes one to know one this one of of them BEST conversation I have seem for a long time. So underrated ! I think everyone film student should see this clip !
Two of my favorite directors together in a one-on-one talking film. So much insight to unpack. Wonderful discussion!
