Interstellar will be the first movie ever to have every actor in it.

Nope, that was the critically acclaimed New Year's Eve.

Interstellar will be the first movie ever to have every actor in it.

And they are all playing the same character.

INTERSTELLAR

 

[NumberTwo]

Wow, what an interstellar cast!



I am the first person to ever say this. Ever.

 

[Gordon0Freeman]

When can we expect a trailer?

 

[MrPink93485]

When can we expect a trailer?

I pray we get one before the Hobbit. That might be a bit too optimistic though. Since Paramount is handling domestic release, I'm not entirely sure how early they intend to start hyping this thing

 

[Ninja Scooter]

INTERSTELLAR

Can't wait for Will I. Am to use Interstellar in a rap lyric. Suck on that shit, Joss Whedon. Nobody raps about Avengers you prick!

Irrfan Khan was asked to do a significant role that would have required him being around for all 4 months of shooting, but he wasn't willing to make the commitment.

What a dumbass...seriously. Keep acting in shit movies like Amazing Spider Man.

 

[valeo]

Really? Were his other projects so amazing? He was hardly known before Life of Pi. Seems like a bad career move.

You realise that the USA and Hollywood isn't the centre of the universe, right?

He still has his tea, at least somethings never change.

 

[Marion Cobretti]

I know I can look it up, but for the sake of conversation, who's the new DP?

Why no Wally Pfister?

 

[#1 defender]

Why no Wally Pfister?

It's Hoyte van Hoytema (Let The Right One In; The Fighter; Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy). Pfister is busy with his own directorial debut, Transcendence.

Oh well. Better call Dileep Rao. I'm sure he wants to keep his BO average over $1 billion per film.

 

[strafer]

Still no vest.

Confirmed bomba.

Hoytema is great, makes Pfister look like an ameture

 

[Alpende]

It was an insane cast already and now with Matt Damon it's even more insane.

 

[Fudgepuppy]

Ugh, Matt Damon.

This is turning into Chris Nolan's "The Expendables". Next up: Clooney and Kevin Spacey.

Spoiler

I would actually LOVE to see Clooney in this

I've been trying to find a gif that would express the awesomeness that would be Clooney, Damon and Spacey in one movie.

Dust storms in the corn belt and how people travel through space to stop them.

i seriously hope this will be a movie about interstellar travel, not 90 mins about how fucked up life on earth will be, with a 10-20 mins finale that delivers what the title suggests.

Shots of people in front of green screens aren't as interesting to look at, since that's probably how all the space scenes will be filmed.

 

[darkazcura]

Irrfan Khan was one of the reasons I saw Life of Pi on opening night. He's really well known and has done some really good stuff lately.

Anyway this really disappoints me. I didn't even know he was in the running to even be in this movie. :/

 

[vio]

What is this movie about?

Huge cast of actors travel through the space and time to plant corn.

 

[KingofGourds]

Read the 2008 draft of the Interstellar script that's been floating around for a while. It's completely bonkers, in a (mostly) good way. To crudely equate, I'd say it's Contact meets Shane Carruth's "A Topiary" (which never got made, but the script is out there) with a healthy dose of James Cameron-esque space/xenobiological action.

However, Variety says that since Nolan Superior came on board it has changed significantly *shrug*/

In interviews Jonathan has been quite humble about the fact that his scripts are usually quite straight forward (and this one is, he's a Hollywood Writer through-and-through) once Chris gets his hands on it they get twisted into much more interesting shapes.

If that's what happens here then Interstellar is going to implode some serious heads.

 

[strafer]

Is this the same direction Spielberg was going for?

 

[Dany]

This is not what I was expecting based on the synopsis but im so fucking excited.

AND those pics all seem to come from one source on one set. but i seriously hope this will be a movie about interstellar travel, not 90 mins about how fucked up life on earth will be, with a 10-20 mins finale that delivers what the title suggests.

Just curious, would you say it fits into Nolan's recent trajectory of big PG-13 action movies like Inception and the Batman films? Was just wondering if, with this being a November release, if this is supposed to be going for a more adult audience.

 

[KingofGourds]

Just curious, would you say it fits into Nolan's recent trajectory of big PG-13 action movies like Inception and the Batman films?

The version I read? Absolutely.

Like Inception, it takes the big-budget PG-13 film and does a lot with it, but ultimately doesn't fully escape or transcend those trappings. Kip Thorne was/is involved so the scientific grounding and verisimilitude is there in that respect, but we're nowhere near 2001/ Solaris/Contact territory in terms of the Science Fiction angle it's trying to achieve.

Honestly I'd equate it with Avatar in that sense.

Without question my biggest gripe was that, in true Nolan style, the themes and message are about as subtle as a bag of hammers falling on your head. But again, I'm not sure I can complain given everything else it's trying to accomplish.

It's a TED talk.

Let me reiterate that I'm not making any assumptions about the film, I'm purely talking about a five year old, pre-Chris Nolan draft of the script.

Behind the scenes look at the Matthew McConaughey movie being filmed in Canmore. Pretty amazing to see Mount Rundle lit up by the spot lights of the crew. The Milky way is directly over Ha-ling peak.

That image looks amazing.

The Alberta, Canada shoot is done, but it looks like all the interesting stuff will happen in Iceland!

http://www.desdehollywood.com/exclusive-christopher-nolan-spaceships-iceland/

Desde Hollywood just learned through an inside source that their new location, Iceland, has already seen major action:

Spoiler

A Spaceship crash!

Spoiler

Knowing that Nolan doesn’t work with a second unit I assume that he directed the sequence created with practical effects. One and that may play an important part in the story.

I am also told that models for some sort of Drones have also been created.

Now, are you ready for the most intriguing part of this scoop?

A bigger aircraft will be featured. Something my source refers to as The Mother Ship.

Spoiler

Iceland was featured in Prometheus as a strange planet. So it isn’t crazy to speculate that the spaceship in question is the one carrying the ‘explorers’ mentioned in the synopsis, and that those drones may be used by the crew to analyze new worlds and probably defend them against cosmic threads.

OK, mankind creating one spaceship in a collapsing future to save everyone makes sense. But a gigantic space carrier?

Mmmm… Are there aliens in Interstellar? Are instead humans traveling back in time from a distant future?

 

[Cheebo]

Is this the same direction Spielberg was going for?

Nolan re-wrote the script so it is different.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Ellen Burstwyn? Wow, neat

 

[Falch]

So, can we expect a teaser trailer this year?

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Nolan following in the footsteps of his hero, Ridley Scott. I wonder if this will be as good as Prometheus.

Sounds interesting. Nolan is one of my favorite filmmakers so I'll definitely be looking forward to this one.

 

[Dan]

At most you'll see a teaser at the very end of the year.

 

[Senoculum]

I recognised the Prometheus waterfall in Oblivion.

I'm 99% certain that waterfall in Oblivion was Niagara Falls. Cruise Missile was flying in New York and stuff...

 

[effzee]

I think the majority of both Prometheus and Oblivion was shot in Iceland.

Could have been the same waterfall.

 

[Liquidsnake]

This looks to be a culmination of everything Nolan has learned and practiced.

And depending on who you ask, that's either a wonderful thing or a terrible thing.
