Famous Thriller Directors

1) Christopher Nolan




• He has directed the post-2005 Batman films: 'Batman Begins' (2005) and 'The Dark Knight' (2008) which are superhero action thrillers



• Most of his films are hybrids, bringing together two genres. ‘Inception’ (2010), for example, is a cross between a thriller and a sci-fi film.



• Although it is tipped to do very well, ‘Inception’ (2010) hasn’t been able to win any awards as the Oscars, Golden Globes and Grammys are all scheduled for early 2011. AwardsDaily.com say, “With ten slots, you can bet the bank it will be one of them" regarding the Oscars.





2) Quentin Tarantino






• He is well known for writing the Kill Bill trilogy, which are action/thrillers.



• His most critically acclaimed film in the thriller genre was ‘Pulp Fiction’ (1994), which won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his screenplay and writing. Two very prestigious awards in the film industry.







3) Martin Scorsese





• He has written ‘Shutter Island’ (2010), ‘The Departed’ (2006) and numerous other titles



• It’s also worth noting he received an Oscar for “Best Achievement in Directing” for ‘The Departed’ (2006)
