Christopher Nolan Is Now the Highest Paid Director in Hollywood

Los Ángeles,Oct 4 (Prensa Latina)In many cases, respect doesn''t equal a massive payday, but in the chase of Christopher Nolan, the two are going hand in hand. His latest movie Dunkirk, a World War II epic due out next summer, has officially made him the highest paid director in Hollywood.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Christopher Nolan will be getting paid $20 million up-front for Dunkirk, which represents a small fortune on its own.

However, the director is also said to be getting 20 percent of the gross for Dunkirk and If his last handful of directorial efforts are any indicator, that will represent a tremendous payday.

This is said to be the most lucrative deal for a director since Peter Jackson got a similar deal for King Kong more than ten years ago.
