Jonathan Nolan and his wife Lisa Joy, which are full of talent, supposedly getting paid $150 million for 5 years of work as various Directors and Producers.

NINE figures for 2 people, I remember when tv shows used to cost that for 10 episodes, for peter sake season 1 of game of thrones only cost $60 million (which is 15 years ago with the filming, and 20 years ago with the sit down / options talk)
