Christopher Nolan and David Fincher on Terrence Malick.
Nolan: Terrence Malick more than almost any other film maker I could name, his work is immediatly recognizable, his films are all very very connected with each other and they’re very recognizibly his work but it’s very tough to put your finger on why that is or what you’re seeing in that, the technique is not immediatly obvious and Malick’s influence on my work is very clear.
Fincher: I think that with Malick you’re seeing something that was thought about and medidated over and you’re seeing somebody who’s making choices that are specifically designed to evoke a feeling.

“When he started making films in the 1970s, you just made films. Today there are two parts to the job: you get to make something, but it’s also become incumbent on us to suddenly sell our movies and that’s just not his nature. Terry’s more the painter, or even the guy that’s plastering the walls or laying the stone. He’s just a very humble, sweet man.”

Video of Terrence Malick filming his new movie with Christian Bale
So… this is kind of a big deal.
Malick is notoriously photo-averse and very rarely allows himself to appear on film, and yet here he is… what’s more, here he is while filming a sequence for a new movie he’s making with Christian Bale. The title of the film isn’t yet known, but this bit of fan-captured footage confirms that at least some of the 6 hours of eventually deleted scenes will take place at the Austin City Limits music festival.
Seriously though, this is some pretty exciting stuff, the Malick in his natural habitat and what not. It’s compelling to see first-hand how he works (at least in this unusual circumstance) and how he communicates with his actors, especially after interview upon interview of anecdotal testimony. Neato. Can’t wait to see the resulting film… 3-12 years from now.
