Okay but did anybody read the Darren Shan Demonata series when they were younger? This is literally the plot of the third book.
it’s a bit hard to make a horror movie when all of your scenes have to be under a minute long and packed to the brim with overly dramatized dialogue

No CGI is really invisible CGI. Including Nolan.
This is a really good video. Must be disheartening to work so hard on VFX shots, only to be dismerited in promotional material.
We already have real demons running half the world, it couldn’t be worse than that. Could it?
He uses plenty of CGI just fine. For example: the whole batmobile in batman begins is cgi. This myth has to stop.
What? No it isn’t. Here’s a behind the scenes featurette
See the edit to my comment. It wasn’t the batmobile I misspoke.
you’re wrong. Nolan inked a contract with Bruce Wayne for $12 million for rights to use him and his Batmobile in the movie.
He invented a parallel universe traveling device so that he can go to a parallel universe that has a Bruce Wayne who looks just like Christian Bale and asked him to star in the movie.
The only acting Christian Bale did is to pretend that he’s the actor that plays Batman and Bruce Wayne in the Dark Knight trilogy.
That’s funny, it’s usually the other way. A director will get their start in horror due to lower budget and work their way to sci fi epics and superhero movies. Sam Raimi and James Wan are prime examples
He’s probably not as famous, but there’s this Peter Jackson guy as well
Yeah he did some mediocre horror but then he sadly drifted off into some niche nerd movies
It’s called animatronics and fantasy movies were made with them before cgi. They were actually more “real” than computer 3D.
I miss practical effects, and animatronics, and even cheesy latex masks. The fact that half the movies today are just in essence long videogame cutscenes with no playing the game yourself is a large contributing factor of why I no longer enjoy most movies. If I wanted this I’d just replay MGS4, Make Movies Great Again!
You described it perfectly
The screen would be black the entire time, when people complain about not being able to see the movie, he’ll give a pretentious answer about how it’s our fault for not being real cinema fans.
Like so many of his movies, we won’t be able to understand the actors. Although that might be OK when the demons talk.
Wait, was Oppenheimer a rom com?
He doesn’t hate cgi though. He just uses CGI to enhance in camera special effects. Also he has more respect for CGI workers than any of the directors that produce CGI shlock.
People who claim he doesn’t use CGI probably haven’t seen inception or interstellar.
how did he do the endless spinning top?
His production team built one that keeps spinning for longer. Something to with it’s shape. It’s been a long time since I read about it.
Sometimes it’s pretty straight forward to just do stuff for real.
They could have made an indefinitely spinning one by sticking a ring of copper wire and running power through it while making the top magnetic, building a type of brushless motor.
What do you mean? They didn’t actually navigate through the time dimension?
You mean the didn’t actually generate a 1000 foot wave?
Next your gonna tell me they didn’t even fly a space ship.
Yeah he just hates CG workers
