Written and directed by Nolan, Memento stars Pearce as Leonard, a man struggling with short-term memory loss while trying to track down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The film also starred Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano.

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

During an interview, Guy Pearce revealed why he and Christopher Nolan haven't collaborated since their very first film, Memento.
