“Screenwriter Nolan urges students to follow passions”

“Nolan” as in Jonathan Nolan, co-writer of The Dark Knight among other movies. This article is from the Yale Daily News doesn’t provide a lot more insight than we’ve already read from Nolan here, here, and here, but it does give me a chance to pimp one of my alma maters — and extract this wry observation by Nolan:

“Be a lucky person,” screenwriter Jonathan “Jonah” Nolan recalled. That was the advice he and his brother, director Christopher Nolan, received from a famous British director about how to enter show business.

“When I first heard it, it sounded smug,” Jonah Nolan said. “The more I think about it, the more humility I see contained in that statement.”

Per the article, Nolan is currently working on the Spielberg project “Interstellar”.
