C. Nolan's Interstellar - Part 2

[747]

Love Zimmer, love his work for Nolan. Not surprising, but equally exciting to hear he is scoring Interstellar. I hope it's gonna be on Inception quality level, my favorite Zimmer score from a Nolan film.

 

[Warhammer]

I love Zimmer, so this is perfect.

Hans Zimmer confirmed to score this film: http://collider.com/hans-zimmer-interstellar/

Edit: Irish, you're too late

What a surprise.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

I found his Batman work with Nolan decent, but nothing more. His work on Inception however is legitimately good. Let's hope this being another original sci-fi movie instead of Batman lets Hans stretch his limits and create a score as good as Inception or better.

 

[AnneFan]

I always thought Zimmer would score this. Glad it's confirmed. The collaboration continues.

 

[mclay18]

I honestly don't see the fuss over Zimmer's Inception score. There's a few good cues (like the end credits cue), but it's puzzling.

I hope with the high-concept story elements, Zimmer will go in a direction similarly to The Da Vinci Code, and really go in new directions. Now that score was awesome.

 

[titansupes]

I only just found out there was a draft leak. Can some kindly fellow PM me?

 

[terry78]

You people and these spoilers, I swear.

 

[redfirebird2008]

That is awesome. t:

 

[AnneFan]

Mr. Wayne's antics have rubbed off on him.

 

[Sawyer]

You people and these spoilers, I swear.

Seriously...

 

[Rocketman]

I love that Zimmer is doing this, but I'm craving a weird, left-field collaboration between Zimmer and someone else, possibly Radiohead, or just Thom Yorke or Jonny Greenwood. Nolan's a huge Radiohead fan, and even used Thom Yorke's "Analyse" for the end credits of The Prestige. "Treefingers" is also on the Memento soundtrack. Seems like a great fit.

 

[redhawk23]

Zimmer working with Greenwood be interesting.

Morgan Freeman talks Interstellar:

He didn't know the movie was getting made lol. Bless him

His line is probably, "Come back to reality, Dom."

Not sure why Deadline's re-reporting their own news, but the release date is, um, still November 7...

[Dark Raven]

Mr. Wayne's antics have rubbed off on him.

Worn out after a night of passion with Selina.

 

[georgec]

I had a dream last night that Nolan cast me into Interstellar, but he wanted me to bulk up before finalizing the deal.

Not sure why I'm posting this...

Warner Bros. Gives Up 'Friday the 13th' Rights to Board Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar'


Sources tell THR that the price of admission for joining Paramount's sci-fi movie from the "Dark Knight" director was the studio's stake in the classic horror franchise along with its portion of a future "South Park" movie.

When Paramount and Warner Bros. teamed up on Christopher Nolan’s latest movie project, Interstellar, in January, some wondered how Warners made its way on board a project set up at a rival studio.

Now, months later,The Hollywood Reporter has learned more about the price that Warners had to pay in exchange for half the Nolan project. The cast of characters includes Friday the 13th villain Jason Voorhees as well as the foul-mouthed kids from South Park.

Warners, which released Nolan’s megagrossing Batman movies and maintains an overall deal with his Syncopy label, wanted in on Interstellar so badly it gave Paramount its rights to co-finance the next Friday the 13th horror film as well as its portion of a future South Park movie. Also part of the deal was an agreement to let Paramount co-finance a to-be-determined A-list Warners property.
Warner Bros. and Paramount declined to comment on the arrangement.

The original Friday was made in 1980 by producer Sean Cunningham with investments from Boston theater owners. Paramount got domestic distribution rights; Warners had international. Eventually, the rights reverted back to Cunningham, who took them to New Line Cinema in the 1990s as part of an attempt to jumpstart a Freddy vs. Jason movie (with the villain from A Nightmare on Elm Street). That process took more than 10 years, and in the meantime, New Line made two other Friday the 13th movies.

When it came time for New Line, now part of Warner Bros., to develop a Friday remake/reboot, it was revealed that Paramount had certain rights to the original and had to be brought in as 50-50 partners. Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes ended up producing 2009's Friday the 13th, which grossed a respectable $91 million for Paramount and Warners on a budget of less than $20 million.

South Park, meanwhile, got its start on Comedy Central, which was formed by a merger of Time Warner’s old Comedy Channel, a spinoff from HBO, and Ha!, created by Paramount’s parent company Viacom.

Despite Warners’ eventual exit from Comedy Central, it retained certain rights to South Park. That explains why Warners had international distribution of the 1999 film, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, which grossed $83 million on a $21 million budget.


Efforts to launch a sequel to the rebooted Friday as well as a second South Park movie were complicated due to both studios having a share in them. So Warners decided to sacrifice Jason and Cartman for a deal on Nolan's Interstellar, thus maintaining its relationship with the filmmaker and snagging a piece of what could be another Inception.

In the process, risk-averse Paramount got a partner on a pricey sci-fi tentpole in addition to the ability to make another movie based on one of the most successful horror franchises of all time and an animation juggernaut.
However, there is a catch: Sources say Paramount only enjoys the rights for both titles for the next five years and has that amount of time to make follow-up movies.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Can't say I blame WB... they have to follow the goldmine.

 

[mclay18]

Makes me wonder what WB A-list property Paramount will be involved with. I guess it'll be the next film Christopher Nolan does after Interstellar, or maybe a DC film? Par and WB did share rights on Watchmen after all...

 

[redfirebird2008]

Also part of the deal was an agreement to let Paramount co-finance a to-be-determined A-list Warners property.

That could be a very lucrative clause for Paramount. If they get to pick anything out of the WB lineup, that's a good spot to be. If Man of Steel is a big hit, don't be surprised if Paramount gets in on the sequel. Or if Interstellar is a big hit, don't be surprised if Paramount gets in on the next Nolan movie at WB.

Which would be helpful if it's true that WB and Legendary are parting ways.

 

[Travesty]

I'm thrilled with this news. I'm hoping we'll get another South Park movie now.

 

[redfirebird2008]

I'm thrilled with this news. I'm hoping we'll get another South Park movie now.

Could happen pretty soon too. The terms of the deal are that Paramount has to make a South Park movie within 5 years or half of the rights revert back to WB.

 

[craigdbfan]

Paramount might even be able to help WB in their Justice League endeavor. For years they were the co builders of the MCU so they know what they're doing when it comes to that.
