The film-maker Christopher Nolan is to guest-edit December’s US issue of Wired magazine.
The director of this winter’s biggest blockbuster Interstellar, the Dark Knight Batman trilogy and Inception, will be in charge of content for a “time, space, and multiple dimensions” themed issue.
The magazine’s editor, Scott Dadich, said: “[Nolan’s] latest film is solidly in the science fiction genre, but we looked for themes from his entire career.
“We wanted to draw from everything from Memento and The Prestige to The Dark Knight trilogy and Inception. But most of all, we wanted to give him license to create a magazine version of the kind of rich, detailed, and complex worlds he builds for his films.”
Dadich writes of Nolan’s “formidable intellectual curiosity” and his interest in subjects like maths and physics. “[H]e even refers to the structure and rule sets of his films as their ‘geometry’”, he adds.
Dadich claims that the structure of December’s issue will be something “no magazine has tried before”, also announcing that next week will be Christopher Nolan week on wired.com.
Nolan is the latest in a long line of high-profile guest editors for the magazine, which includes film directors James Cameron and JJ Abrams, and Dutch architect and architectural theorist Rem Koolhaas.
