Steven Soderbergh played a role in Christopher Nolan being chosen as the director for the 2002 thriller Insomnia. Soderbergh reached out to Warner Bros. executives and convinced them to meet with Nolan.
He continued, “I see the movie, and I think it’s a fucking instant classic, and I go, ‘Well, this is really depressing.’ I was really upset when I got out of there. It turns out that the financiers, Newmarket, opened their own distribution company and made $25 million on it.”
Soderbergh goes on to explain that months later, Aloni called him and tells him that Nolan is “really interested” in thedirector. “And I go, ‘What do you mean they won’t take the meeting?’ And [Dan] goes, ‘Well, the executive there didn’t like.’ And I said, ‘Well, so what? Why won’t they take the meeting?’ So, I called that executive and I said, ‘Take the meeting. You’ve got to take the meeting.’ And he goes, ‘But I didn’t like the movie.’ And I go, ‘Well, did you like the movie-making?’ And he goes, ‘Well, yeah, it’s brilliantly made.’ And I go, ‘Take the meeting.’ That is all I did,” Soderbergh recalled.
