Hope it's as good as the Inception teaser trailer.
Alright now that Gif is seriously fantastic. Shamelessly stolen!

This "The Hibbit" movie sounds awesome. Need to see that one.
Trailer #1 is done, and classified. 1:43 mins.

I hope the actual space travel proceedings are more or less NASA style like in EUROPA REPORT or at least GRAVITY territory as opposed to other less accurate Hollywood craptastic space movies.
Please let it be more like EUROPA REPORT than CONTACT, MISSION TO MARS/RED PLANET.

Please no
So I have read the 2008 draft from Jona Nolan.
What do you guys & girls think?
While the whole thing was a pretty solid read, I really hope CNolan had some more rewrites on it.The whole vibe to me felt very light on the reality of actual space travel proceedings in exchange for a very fast pace.
If this is really 2087 as the draft suggests, the craft they are traveling with has some amazingly fast engines. They can drift in and out of a black hole in seconds. A black hole that spans solar systems. Or how they get into orbit and do an EDL in minutes.
There was a distinct lack of realness to the maneuvering in space. Another example being: Cooper and Brand being lifted up by gravitational forces from that compressed moon to float into space seemingly lost. Then seconds later a lander craft appears exactly beneath them to catch them when they drift down again. It all felt like the vastness of space was not given justice.
To distill my feelings down: On a spectrum of space travel truthiness, with EUROPA REPORT on the far side and ARMAGEDDON on the other. INTERSTELLAR leans more towards ARMAGEDDON.
Or to use the AI (Spielberg) vs. 2001 (Kubrick) scale:
The ride-like non-stop feeling of it all, the humor with the robot characters also felt more like a typical Spielberg movie, rather than some more analytic or cryptic Kubrick opera.
Also had a hard time swallowing the "blight" that dooms mankind so utterly that all hope is lost. It felt very artificial to create a reason for "science" to safe the day. Why can we not have a "to explore" motif without saving the world?
Felt a bit hollow like OBLIVION in that sense. The remnants of NASA having a VAST underground base with a primed multi-stage rocket and the mission ready to go when Cooper accidentially finds them also felt weird to me.
I am still unsure if I like that "all-american" hero feel of the whole thing with the central hero character being a Bruce Willis Armageddon-type drilling expert from outside the science/astronaut community that just happens to be an awesome all-around super dude astronaut too?
What I liked:The middle part! The descriptions of the warping sequence inside the wormhole were cool and freaky. The ice planet stuff was really good too. The revelation with the Chinese base, the alien fractal creature forest, the whole flora and fauna underneath a giant ice dome, shielding life from the neutron star, etc. Made AVATAR feel like some pedestrian cowboys in space shit...
But after that it starts to become a bit messy. The bulk creatures? The 4000year old Chinese Space station that had R&D on EVERYTHING, I dunno. Will be interesting how close this is to the final movie
Christopher Nolan is writing a script that merges an original idea of his with the script that Jonah wrote. It will retain the title Interstellar, and the ambition for the project is a film that will depict a heroic interstellar voyage to the farthest borders of our scientific understanding. If it all pans out, hell direct. Nolans unofficial home studio, Warner Bros, has been kissed into the deal as a co-production partner with Paramount, and Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are producing with Lynda Obst. Jordan Goldberg is joining as exec producer alongside Thorne, wholl remain on as technical consultant.
Please YES
Gravity was kind of a joke for me.
Mission to Mars is shit.
Dunno about it being radically different. The teaser fit exactly to the Jonah Nolan draft, and the official tightlipped synopsis also fits exactly to that draft.
I really hope they did a page 1 rewrite though.
It is a solid B-movie style 7/10 but it felt more like a mix between AI, FIRST CONTACT, OBLIVION and ARMAGEDDON to me rather than something like 2001, GRAVITY or even EUROPA REPORT.
I really hope it will be closer to the latter.
AI because it had the Spielbergian adventure feeling in the middle and the schmalzy ending. Parts that Kubrick probably would have not pushed so hard.and the robot humor
But that was Kubrick's endingAI because it had the Spielbergian adventure feeling in the middle and the schmalzy ending. Parts that Kubrick probably would have not pushed so hard.and the robot humor
lol. I finally saw Elysium. What the fuck was Copley even doing. hahaAnd if you call that ending schmaltzy (not really though) how da fuck is gravity getting a pass?
I haven't seen Europa Report but I'm not sure if I wanna because of copely being in it. Worst actor of the year
Now we play the waiting game.
i spoke to someone who said that it, and i quote, "will change the language of film."
