'Interstellar' Review Thread (Use Spoiler Tags)

[Lehnhart]

The 'Dark Knight Rises' director is negotiating to board the sci-fi project written by his brother and longtime collaborator Jonathan Nolan

With his Batman trilogy now complete, Christopher Nolan has found his next project.

According to multiple sources, Nolan has set his sights on a sci-fi project titled Interstellar, which he is in talks to direct and produce. The project involves time travel and alternate dimensions in a story that sees a group of explorers travel through a wormhole. The script is based on scientific theories developed by a Kip Thorne, a theoretical physicist, a gravitational physicist and astrophysicist at Caltech.

Sources say that dealmaking has been underway for months and is described as very complex.

Interstellar is set up at Paramount but would be made by both Paramount and Warner Bros., where Nolan and his Syncopy banner are based and for which he has made the three Batman movies as well as Insomnia and Inception. (The Prestige was made for Disney.)

The script for Interstellar was written by Jonathan Nolan, Chris' brother, who worked on The Dark Knight Rises and The Dark Knight, as well as Prestige. Jonathan Nolan (known as Jonah) also has a "story by" credit for Memento, Chris Nolan’s breakout movie.

Steven Spielberg was previously attached to direct Interstellar and produce with Lynda Obst. It is unclear if Spielberg will remain involved, especially considering the director's planned next movie, Robopocalypse, was delayed indefinitely on Wednesday.

Regardless of how a deal shakes out, Interstellar has all the elements that seem to attract Nolan. Apart from his brother’s involvement, there is the complex and multi-layered nature of the story.

Realistic for the win!

Christopher Nolan RISES.

I predict there will be a pointless character, who only exists to kill the pace and provide overkill exposition.

Are you referring to Mal in Inception? If so then I agree completely.

My guess was Ariadne.

You should audition. You'll ace the first two without even trying and how hard can the exposition thing really be?

Movie of the year for whatever year it will end up coming out in

Nolan is one of the worst directors working in Hollywood today. The man doesn't understand the basic fundamentals of movie making: Show, don't tell.

Because Christopher Nolan is worse than Judd Apatow, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer to name a few. Not that I usually listen to reviews and ratings on IMDB, but most of Nolan's movies are rated almost 8 or are well over 8/10. You can blame that on "modern audiences" but with how many people have rated his movies, I'm willing to bet PLENTY of them are not new moviegoers and have seen plenty of classic older films, and I'm willing to bet they're not all brainless morons, so don't try that card either.

Christopher Nolan isn't my favourite director, nor one that I'm dying to see new films from but it's pretty silly to call him one of the worst directors today. If you were to say that in your opinion he is, then that's something different but you tried to turn it into a fact because he apparently ignores an apparent rule of good filmmaking. Nolan may not be YOUR IDEA of a great filmmaker but at the very least, he makes good entertainment more often than not.

Of all the filmmakers currently working, he's not the best (in my opinion) but he's very far from the worst (in my opinion).

This was just way too good to go unacknowledged.

[Blu Ian]

No thanks.

This is Spielbergs area.

Sorry Nolan.

I'm pretty sure Christopher Nolan has more of a grasp on the language of cinema far more than you do.

Nolan's version of Solaris maybe? Either way, I already reserved my ticket.

And I hope and pray that he can shoot this entire film in IMAX.

[tigertron]

BWAAAAAAM BWAAAAAAAM BWAAAAAAAAM!!!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Sounds good though, looking forward to it.

Considering the genre and subject matter that would be incredible.

It's a shame Spielberg won't ever get round to this but it kept getting put on his backburner for so long that I wondered if it would ever get made (mind you, same thing happened with Lincoln and that made it). That it may be finally made and that it would be Nolan taking over is very good news indeed.
