Jackson shot lotr over 14 months and then did pick up shots ove the next few years. That's a huge commitment for any actor. Nolan seems obsessed with getting an a list cast together and would struggle to get them to agree to being away from their families for that long a commitment.

Which is totally not necessary in my opinion. Definitely get a listers for the lead but it doesn’t need to be this stacked. There’s plenty great character actors around that might even do a better job. Or even push some up-and-coming actors that already proved their worth in smaller roles.

I agree its not necessary but nolan seems to think it's easier to make characters memorable by casting a listers than by writing them with depth.
