Christopher Nolan.
Status: Partially Found
While Christopher Nolan has directed several box-office hits and memorable films, very few, if any, of them have had deleted scenes released for them, with The Dark Knight films being no exception.
Nolan's philosophy, as stated in multiple interviews, is that deleted scenes often remove the mystique from the film and that he prefers to shoot as little extraneous material as possible. In a 2012 interview with MTV.com for The Dark Knight Rises, Nolan stated;
"Pretty much with all my films, there are very few deleted scenes, which always disappoints the DVD crowd."
That hasn't stopped snippets of footage and pictures of deleted scenes from appearing in making-of books, documentaries, and interviews, however. Several shots from extended or deleted takes have also appeared in the sample reels of FX companies that worked on the film. Several of his movies, in particular, have had large chunks of footage cut out and seemingly stored in archives, away from public viewing.
