Guy Pearce says he was blocked from working with Christopher Nolan by Warner Bros

Memento actor says a studio executive told his agent ‘I’m never going to employ Guy Pearce’ and stopped him from appearing in Batman Begins and The Prestige

Guy Pearce has revealed that the reason he has not worked with Christopher Nolan since the 2000 film Memento is because he was repeatedly blocked by a Warner Bros executive who didn’t like his acting.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, Pearce said he had not worked with Nolan – famed for working with the same actors in many of his films – since the director began working with Warner Bros for his 2002 thriller Insomnia, an 18-year relationship that ended with his 2020 film Tenet.
