Guy Pearce blamed a Warner Bros. executive for blacklisting him from starring in Christopher Nolan films after 'Memento.'

Despite the critical and commercial success of their sole collaboration, Guy Pearce was blocked from working with Christopher Nolan for 20 years. The 2x Golden Globe nominee recently claimed he was denied roles in multiple Nolan films after a Warner Bros.

We do know that Christopher Nolan is not still at Warner Bros., so perhaps, as Pearce put it to jokingly end the VF interview, “now my time has come!”
