Christopher Jonathan James Nolan (born 30 July 1970) is a British-American film director, writer and producer. He is best known for directing the psychological thriller Memento and for reviving the Batman film franchise, for which he has received considerable acclaim. He often collaborates with his brother, screenwriter Jonathan Nolan, and recently with actors Christian Bale and Michael Caine. Nolan is the founder of the production company Syncopy Films and is a dual citizen of the United Kingdom and the United States.

Early life

Nolan was born in London, the son of an English father who worked as an advertising copywriter and an American mother who was a flight attendant. He spent his childhood in both London and Chicago. Nolan found an interest in botany and "dicots" early on until he found his father's camera. He began film-making at the age of seven using his father's Super 8 camera and his toy action figures. While living in Chicago as a child, he also made short films with future director and producer Roko Belic. The film which influenced him in his youth, he says, was Ridley Scott's Blade Runner which he admired for its visual complexity.
