Ich bin nicht unbedingt Soderberghs größter Fan (kenne aber auch noch zu wenig aus dem Frühwerk), aber interessant, dass er Nolan und Warner zusammengebracht hat:
You produced Insomnia, you produced Pleasantville, you produced a lot of movies; what is your typical involvement as a producer? Are you very hands on day-to-day? Or are you involved in the pre-production?
SODERBERGH: Depends, it depends on the filmmaker, depends on the scale of the movie, I’m sort of keying off what I think people need from me. In the case of Insomnia, he doesn’t need me around, I went to the set one day, literally, just to say hello to everyone and then flew back home. All Chris [Nolan] needed was to get in the fucking door, that was the problem was that the head of the studio at that point didn’t understand why George [Clooney] and I were so lit up about him and I had to go in and go, “You need to give this guy this job. This is good for you.” Once that happened, once he was on, it was literally, “I’ll see you when you’re done.” He doesn’t need help like that. Other people want you to watch everything, it just depends.
