Emily Blunt And Anne Hathaway Talk About Legendary Filmmaker Christopher Nolan
Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway share a common factor. Both the actors have worked with the brilliant filmmaker Christopher Nolan. Emily Blunt played the character of J. Robert Oppenheimer’s wife in Oppenheimer and Anne Hathaway portrayed the role of NASA Scientist Dr. Amelia Brand in Interstellar.
During an episode of Variety’s Actors On Actors, both Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway reunited after their first collaboration in The Devil Wears Prada. The actor duo even spoke about Christopher Nolan and how prominently his appearance changes during extreme cold conditions, and his work. Anne Hathaway said-
“That’s a perfect name for him. When we did “Interstellar,” Matthew McConaughey noted that when we were up in the glacier, the colder it was and the harder the conditions were, the bluer Chris’ eyes became. And the blonder his hair.”
While talking about Christopher Nolan’s hair, Emily Blunt
“I always feel that with Chris’ hair. I can tell when he is very happy with a take because his hair starts to dance. It’s almost like he vibrates when he’s happy. He’s not going to tell you that he’s that happy, though, because he’s very English.”
While talking about the Dunkirk director, Anne Hathaway said-
“The part that blows my mind about Chris is that he is authoritative in the best sense of the word. I remember one day we were doing a shot on “The Dark Knight Rises.” He came to me beforehand and said, “I just want you to know, this shot has lived in my head for many years. I’m going to be very specific about it. I’m going to make you do it a lot, but it’s not actually you. It’s just because I have it in my head a certain way.”
Christopher Nolan was awarded his first Golden Globe Award for Oppenheimer under the category of Best Director of a Motion Picture. The epic saga went on to sweep multiple nominations and awards in the prestigious ceremony.
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is currently available on Amazon Prime Video on rent.
