The choice of format has been one of the central tenets of Nolans crusade within the film world.
Its the drum he bangs loudest.
In 2008, Nolan became the first director to use IMAX cameras to shoot scenes in a feature film.
Stephen Vaughan/Warner Bros.
Audiences couldnt get this experience anywhere else.
And it didnt make a damn bit of difference.
Nolans frustration stems from the studios and their insistence on ignoring his successes.
Outside of theDark Knighttrilogy, he shoots big, original movies on film and makes money doing it.
But hes the only one who really gets to do it.
But Nolan isnt demanding an end to superhero movies and digital cameras.
All he wants is there to be a choice.
If filmmakers want to work on digital, terrific.
Thats their choice, he said.
I dont want my choice to shoot on film taken away.
