Nolan should direct everything, and Fassbender should star in everything. No different for whatever franchises are being discussed here that I know almost nothing about.
 
He would probably ridicule them mercilessly trying to get them to turn on him and back off. Of course, just the opposite would happen. Fans would interpret it as a love letter and worship him more than ever before.
 
Forgive my ignorance but wasn't Half Life essentially Doom but with aliens instead of demons?

But on the upside, most extras ever on the moving picture tapes. And with that many people how could the scene not be one of the most memorable in the history of cinema? Certainly so powerful it'd be worth bragging about anyway.
 
Half Life: The Movie - Episode 1 (2015)
Half Life: The Movie - Episode 2 (2017)
Half Life: The Movie - Episode 3 (2036)

LOL, painfully true...guess they are too busy counting their billions off Steam to care about finishing the episodic trilogy they started years ago

Everything Nolan has done has been good, if not above average. TDKR is the only questionable product he's put out.



Calling TDKR questionable is like saying a turd is a bit smelly
 
Cranston maybe a bit old for Freeman as much as I love him. And Gordon should have very few lines and a limited background. Strong, silent type. Make us care for his struggle and people around him since it doesn't really matter what got him to Black Mesa, all we need to know is he makes good science and rocks a crowbar. Cranston as the G-Man is a differant story.

The trick is going to be casting Kleiner and Vance and being able to make them look believably much older in the 2nd movie.
 
Can you link me to where he said he hates comics? I've never read that before.

.

You're thinking of Tim Burton. And no he doesn't. You lie.

Ha Ha. No.

Half Life was a game changer. Pardon the pun. Before half life. shooters were shallow, had no story. most guns kinda floated in the air and spun 360 degrees as if they were on an invisable lazy susasn.
And story was little more than " monsters/terrorists/comunist/nazi's/generic badguy trope are here. Kill them"

Hal-life pushed a greater degree of realism. Half-life also used story and narrative, with a silent protagonist, to compel you to actually WANT to finish it.

Some half-life education for you

Christopher Walken has always seemed like the obvious choice for Gman :lol

YES please.

Ok thanks. I just couldn't have imagined Nolan would say he hates comics yet directs 3 comic book movies :lol
 
Well, he did his best to suck all the comic book out of them, and replace it with "realism"

Turning the world's greatest detective, into the world's richest guy who gives up on life.

agree with all points here.

I don't get why people hate on his batman movies because of the realism. You know what the other Batman movies had a comic book feel to them and they sucked. No not the tim burton films but mainly batman and robin and batman forever. Terrible movies. Nolan created easily the best Batman movie out right now. Whether it was close to the comics are not who cares? They were good movies.
 
My choice for Gordon would be Hugh Laurie... although I know he's a bit old now.

My pick for Gman would be Stephen Hattie or Christopher Walken.

They were good movies. Atleast Begins and Dark knight.

But that's all. Just good. they came VERY CLOSE to greatness, but just missed the mark. they could have been AMAZING, They could have been " Avengers" or " Iron man" good. but they just missed it.

He missed it because while he kept the Idea of batman, he missed the essence.

Nolan's batman is an incredibly mentally disturbed martial artist vigilante in a costume. who makes up for his lack of skills with technology.

Comic book batman is a man, who has trained in just about every physical and mental discipline there is. He's not just smart. He's Brilliant. He has practiced. spent his live becoming a master of martial arts, of deduction, criminology, science, computers, technology. he uses those skills in combination to be, the world's greatest detective. He uses his technological know-how, to invent and build technology to FURTHER enhance his abilities ( not make up for his shortcomings). And most importantly. He Never, EVER gives up.

Nolan's batman was missing that. Burton's films were closer to that ( I hate to admit), but were missing something else.
