According to Christopher Nolan, when his brother Jonathan handed him the first draft of the script, he explained, “‘You’ve got to think of ‘A Tale of Two Cities’ which, of course, you’ve read.’ I said, ‘Absolutely.’ I read the script and was a little baffled by a few things and realized that I’d never read ‘A Tale of Two Cities’. It was just one of those things that I thought I had done.” Nolan added that he then read the Dickens book, loved it, and incorporated even more of the novel’s themes when doing additional drafts of the script.
