Christopher Nolan may be one of the greatest directors in Hollywood, but he still lives without a cell phone.
Instead of texting or calling people himself, the legendary director has another way to reach the actors he wants to work with.
Matt Damon recently shared how this usually happens while talking to people during promotions for The Odyssey.
The actor said Nolan’s wife and producing partner, Emma Thomas, sends a text first, and the message is simple: “Chris will call you.”
A few minutes later, an unknown number from Universal Pictures appears on the phone. Damon joked that anyone who has worked with Nolan already knows exactly who’s calling.
However, the Oscar-winning director has stayed away from smartphones for years, as he has also previously said that he avoids emails because he likes to focus on his work without constant distractions.
Emma and the rest of his team handle most of his communications.
Damon is reunited with Nolan for The Odyssey, playing the famous Greek hero Odysseus.
The film is their third project together after Interstellar and Oppenheimer.
Even today, when almost everyone is dependent on a phone, Nolan continues to do things his own way.
And judging by his success, the old-school approach still works just fine.
