“I met him. I talked to him about it. It wasn’t something that was interesting to me at the time. I was on a different path to a lot of actors. And I was more interested in a film that Chris’s brother had written—The Prestige,” Hartnett told the paper. “I loved Chris as a filmmaker, and I really wanted to work with him, and I was hoping that if I was straight-up honest with him about not wanting to do the superhero movie, maybe I could do The Prestige.”
Hartnett didn’t end up in the sci-fi thriller; however, he apparently didn’t slip far from Nolan’s mind as the actor ended up being hired for the forthcoming film about the making of the first atomic bomb.
“The thing about genius filmmakers is that they’re always gonna be around, so I hoped at one point that we’d work together,” Hartnett said. “And, look, here we are. I feel really lucky that he still saw me as somebody he wanted to work with all these years later. I’m a big believer in things working out when they’re supposed to.”
