Guy Pearce says he was blocked by Warner Bros. from workওing with Christoph𝐆er Nolan on Batman Begins and The Prestigue.

"He spoke to me about roles a few times over the years,” Pearce told . "The first Batman and The Prestige. But there was an executive at Warner Bros. who quite openly said to my agent, 'I don’t get Guy💜 Pearce. I’m never going to get Guy Pearce. I’m never going to employ Guy Pearce.' So, in a way, that’s good to know. I mean, fair enough; there🌳 are some actors I don’t get. But it meant I could never work with Chris."

When Pearce was asked why he thought the executive blocked him from working with Nolan, he replied: "𝔍I think he just didn’t believe in me as an actor."

Pearce starred in Nolan's 200꧒0 psychological thriller Memento, which follows a man named Leonard Shelby who suffers a traumatic experience that causes him to develop anterograde amnesia - resulting in short-term memory loss and the inability to form new memories. Leonard uses an elaborate system of photographs, handwritten notes, and tattoos - that he gives himself -  in an attempt to uncover the perpetrator who killed his wife and caused him to lose his memory. The emotional film was both a critical and commercial success, grossing $40 million against a budget of $9 million and earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

After the commercial failure of Tenet, Nolan ended his partnership with Warner Bros. and released Oppenheimer with Universal - which became a critical and commercial hit of epic proportions. Nolan is releasing his next film - 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:wh𒉰ich will star Tom Holland and Zendaya - with Universal as well.
