This man had people questioning him on whether Heath Ledger was a good choice for the Joker. He’s played this game before.
Christopher Nolan, responding in Time magazine this week to the avalanche of criticism over his Odyssey casting choices:
"Hopefully they'll enjoy the film, even if they don't agree with everything. We had a lot of scientists complain about Interstellar. But you just don't want people to think that you took it on frivolously."
He built a real seaworthy ship, shot entirely on 70mm IMAX, and spent $250 million. Is Nolan being dismissed too quickly, or did his casting choices earn the backlash?
