Christopher Nolan Recalls Al Pacino's 'Been There, Done That' Greatness

Oppenheimer' director Christopher Nolan recalled a time when acclaimed star Al Pacino turned down a note from the filmmaker, insisting that he'd "already done that". 

The film was 2002 thriller 'Insomnia' with Pacino, reports 'Deadline'. 

"I had gone up to Pacino after a series of takes and given him a note on what I wanted," Nolan told 'The Los Angeles Times'.

"He told me, 'I've already done that. You can't see it to the eye, but I've done it on the dailies.' I looked for it and I was like, 'Oh, my God,' because there it was."

Nolan added: "Great film actors can do that."
