"Hello, Jonathan."

Matthew shook hands with Jonathan Nolan who walked into the office, and invited, "Please sit here."

Jonathan Nolan greeted him, put down his briefcase first, and then sat on a single sofa.

"Your office is very simple." Jonathan Nolan looked around. The office was not small, but it was not many. The most eye-catching one was the movie posters hanging on the wall, all of which were the movies invested by Matthew. He was also acquainted with Matthew, and joked, "I thought the offices of billionaires were magnificent."

Matthew laughed, "The shiny thing is not good for eyes." He turned to the topic, "Jonathan, how do you have time to come?"

Jonathan Nolan is Christopher Nolan's younger brother. He was originally a writer, but later involved in the screenwriter industry. Most of the movies Christopher Nolan's early films were adapted from Jonathan Nolan's novels.

The model of Nolan, the big guy, filming and making movies is basically written by Jonathan Nolan, adapting and shooting by Christopher Nolan, and Emma Thomas manages the daily work of the crew as a producer.

"Chris and I have planned a new project, and I just finished the script." Jonathan Nolan obviously did not intend to come to Matthew for a moment and said directly, "I came from London to submit the script to Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures on behalf of Chris. Before leaving, Chris, who was busy promoting "The Dark Knight Rises" overseas, called me specifically and asked me to prepare an extra copy of the script and hand it over to you."

Speaking of this, he opened his briefcase, took out a thick stack of scripts, handed them to Matthew, and said, "Chris said, you have made an agreement with him that he will continue to work together after the Batman series ends."

Matthew took the script and admitted, "Well, we have such an agreement."

He and Christopher Nolan were very satisfied with the previous collaboration. A good director hopes to use excellent actors, and a good actor also hopes to meet a good director.

Christopher Nolan, it is probably too early to say that this name is great, but with so many excellent works, he is indeed on the road to greatness.

Matthew looked down at the script, and there was only one line of printed words "Flora's Letter" on the cover of the script!

This should be the name of the script?

He frowned slightly. He had basically watched Christopher Nolan's movies, especially since "Batman: The Moment of War", and some have been watched more than once. He never remembered that Christopher Nolan had made such a movie.

"Flora's letter?" Matthew repeated the name and suddenly thought of a girl he had met on the crew of Inception, and asked, "Jonathan, is the name of the script fake? Is Flora Chris' daughter?"

It is not the first time Christopher Nolan's film project has taken a pseudonym. For example, his previous pseudonym includes Roy's First Kiss (Dark Knight), Oliver's Arrow (Inception) and Manus Rex (Dark Knight Rises), which are also the names of his children.

Jonathan Nolan nodded, "We haven't figured out the name yet, and for the sake of confidentiality, I directly used my niece's name instead."

Then, he briefly talked about this project.

The script was originally based on a thought of Christopher Nolan, and it was handed over to Steven Spielberg around 2005. Steven Spielberg planned to direct it himself and invited Jonathan Nolan to write the script.

But after the first draft of the script was completed, Spielberg was busy with the progress and budget of "Robot Apocalypse" and the series of troubles at DreamWorks, Spielberg eventually gave up his plan to direct the project, and the script returned to Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan.

After all the post-production of The Dark Knight Rises, Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan talked about the project that was almost forgotten by them, and the two finally decided to do the film in person.

However, many of the ideas from that time, with the continuous development of technology, made the Nolan brothers feel outdated, so Christopher Nolan asked Jonathan Nolan to rewrite the script on the original basis so that the story can be based on science as much as possible.

This remake script is a typical space science fiction genre. The original concept of the story comes from the physicist Kip-Stower of California Institute of Technology, who has done a lot of amazing research and work on the potential possibilities of theoretical wormholes and time travel.

According to Jonathan Nolan, Kip Thorne gave many important suggestions during his writing script.

Because of preparing for another science fiction space film "Marls Rescue", Matthew also heard of Kip Thorne's name. It is said that as one of the most outstanding scientists in the field of black holes and general relativity, he was both long-term friends with Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan, and enjoyed a supreme position in the theoretical physics community.

It can be said that the current script has changed drastically from the one Steven Spielberg wanted to direct at that time.

When the project is being prepared, Christopher Nolan plans to invite Kip Thorne to give the entire crew a period of class.

Jonathan Nolan did not stay for too long and quickly left. Before leaving, he told Matthew that if there was any problem, he would call Christopher Nolan directly to communicate.

In principle, Matthew was willing to continue working with Christopher Nolan. After filming "Inception", the two expressed their intention to cooperate more than once.

Now getting the script that Christopher Nolan specifically sent to Jonathan Nolan is enough to prove that Christopher Nolan is very sincere.

To be honest, a big director and a big star have a wider range of choices when looking for partners.

In the next few days, Matthew took time to read the script sent by Jonathan Nolan carefully.

This script is somewhat similar in genre to "The Mars Rescue" and also belongs to the category of hard science fiction.

It is obvious that after filming soft science fiction such as superheroes, Christopher Nolan is also preparing to enter the genre of hard science fiction movies.

The story of the script is more complicated than the popcorn films that Matthew has filmed in the past.

This story takes place in the near future. The earth's climate is no longer suitable for food growth, water resources are exhausted, famine is rampant, human beings are facing the threat of extinction, and the earth may be destroyed at any time. Human beings must find a way out outside the earth.

Surviving scientists discovered a mysterious "space-time rift" through which they could go to outer space to find opportunities to continue their hopes of life. An adventure team traveled outside the solar system, and their goal was to find a planet suitable for human immigration.

The hero and heroine are selected as part of the plan to save the future of mankind and must go outside the solar system to find another planet suitable for human habitation.

On this spacecraft called "endurane", the expedition team faces unprecedented challenges and unprecedented human thoughts.

However, when passing through the wormhole, they found that one hour on the spacecraft was equivalent to seven years on Earth. Even if the mission of the expedition team could be completed, the redemption they could provide was too late for the living people on Earth.

The hero must make a choice between reuniting with his children and saving the future of mankind.

A very traditional Hollywood model, saving the world and family relationships is an eternal theme.

After reading the script, Matthew naturally recalled the pirated movie he had watched on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. It was the last movie he watched by Christopher Nolan, which was the Chinese translation called "Interstellar".

As for what his original English name is, he doesn't know. Anyway, the English title cannot be "Flora's Letter".

The main plot of this script is roughly the same as the "Interstellar" which is still somewhat memorable.

Of course, there are differences, for example, it is the son, not the daughter, who resonates with the hero.

Looking back now, the smart and cute daughter of the protagonist, she seems to be named Murphy, and should be played by McKenzie Fury.

There is a son in the script.

This is not a big problem, it is too easy for similar roles to change gender.

In addition, the former heroine should be Anne Hathaway, but when filming "Inception", Anne Hathaway annoyed Christopher Nolan. Christopher Nolan has refused to work with her again, and even Selena Kyle in "The Rise of the Dark Knight" has been replaced.

Or not to accept this project? Matthew didn't think about it for too long and decided to continue working with Christopher Nolan.

Christopher Nolan is still in a rising period of directors. During this period, the chances of directors shooting good films are very high. The cooperation between the two can be said to be a strong team.

Also, Christopher Nolan is one of the few directors he once could remember his name. At least it means that he was hit in the head by a hammer. Christopher Nolan is still a top-tier director in Hollywood.

The memories of living on the other side of the Pacific are not endless. With the cooperation with Christopher Nolan, there is undoubtedly an additional insurance for the future.

In addition, the production scale of this film, Jonathan Nolan roughly mentioned that it must be the first-line Hollywood level, so that his salary and other income will be guaranteed.

After considering all the situations, it should be a wise choice to continue to work with Christopher Nolan on filming "Interstellar" in collaboration.

By the way, I also need to find an opportunity to communicate with Christopher Nolan. What kind of youngest son the hero wants must be changed to a youngest daughter.

How cute is my daughter?

However, Matthew also has some doubts about the cooperation of this project, such as he will soon film "Martian Rescue" and then film "Interstellar". Will the two films cause the roles to be similar?
Chapter completed!
