Christopher Nolan isn’t a fan of Marvel movie’s post-credit scenes to keep theater-goers in their seats.
Nolan recently spoke to The Guardian to promote his new sci-fi film, “Interstellar.” The director dished about his billion-dollar “Dark Knight” franchise, and what it was like producing Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” movie.
Nolan claimed Warner Bros. approached him and Snyder about adding a “comedy coda ending” to the “Man of Steel” credits, which he wouldn’t even consider.
“A real movie wouldn’t do that,” Nolan told The Guardian.
Nolan’s “Interstellar” starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway to bring in more than $50 million at the box office Nov. 7 opening weekend. The film is expected to surpass Nolan’s “Batman Begins” premiere, but the director is more excited to see how audiences react to “Interstaller.”
The director recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the film, which he kept on the back burner until the time felt right for him to release it.
“I'd been hearing about Interstellar for years while he was working with Kip Thorne,” Nolan explained. “I always thought it sounded like a very exciting project — certainly it's a good sign if your brother's working on something [with Spielberg]. When I saw the opportunity to get involved, I didn't hesitate. I always loved science fiction.
“One of my earliest movie memories is my dad taking me to see 2001 in [London's] Leicester Square on the big screen. It was such an extraordinary feeling: to be taken off this planet and to the furthest reaches of the universe. It has really been an ambition of mine: If I ever had the opportunity to get involved in a large-scale science fiction project, something about exploring our universe, I would try to seize the opportunity.”
