Christoper Nolan likes to work with a close circle of collaborators, from actors like Michael Caine and Tom Hardy, to his former longtime cinematographer, Wally Pfister. And these sort of close-knit relationships have been around since day one.

All the way back in the late 1990s - when he made short films like Doodlebug - Nolan started working with composer David Julyan, a skilled musician who then stuck with the director through every single one of his features from 1998 onwards (Batman Begins aside), with the two finally separating after their work on The Prestige.

Since The Prestige, Nolan's go-to composer has been Hans Zimmer, but Julyan hasn't exactly been down in the dumps the whole time. He's worked on some great movies like The Cabin In The Woods and Eden Lake - while also scoring both Descent films - and remains active to this very day.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
