My movies are supposed to sound that way, grumbles Christopher Nolan over abrasive background noise
, sound professionals told us that filming on location creates variables that make audio harder to capture. As opposed to a soundstage, which is much more conducive to producing clean audio, filming in the wilds of New Mexico means actors must compete with lots of background noise. Most directors opt to re-record the dialogue in a studio, but not Nolan, who prefers the authenticity of the location. On top of all that, those IMAX cameras Mr. Nolan loves so much are loud as hell.
Maybe, one day, hopefully, there will be an even more significant breakthrough, and someone will develop software that can digitally remove the masks from Tom Hardy’s face. Either way, noisy audio hasn’t hurt Nolan’s box office. , a three-hour movie mainly consisting of dialogue scenes backed by an ever-present score, has grossed over $400 million worldwide. Not bad for a movie some consider unintelligible.
