Tenth anniversary??

*cut to me McConaughey crying as I watch myself rapidly age before my very eyes*

T...t...tenth year?

Man that makes me feel old. I was in my 30's when Interstellar came out!

This might have been mentioned already... but the link in the post no longer works. So just in case:

aramount said Thursday that it will re-release Christopher Nolan's 2014 fall tentpole Interstellar.

"The Warner Bros co-production will hit theaters this fall..."

i still haven't seen this. AND i still have a bunch of those film cells. i wonder if they're still worth anything

 

[Elayis]

I haven't watched it since the initial release in theaters (despite owning it) so maybe this will convince me to watch it again, especially if it's at my local IMAX. I liked it well enough, and it's probably the last Nolan film I can say I actually enjoyed, but I don't rewatch movies a lot as a rule.

Dude has a theory/interpretation that is popular enough to make it onto my newsfeed:

why would they destroy them?

why would they destroy them?

Probably for the same reason the BBC destroyed so much of their old stuff.....to make room for new stuff.

This was pretty normal back in the old days. Storing film takes up space and the climate conditions have to be also right. What's surprising is that Paramount did this with a modern Nolan movie.

Presumably, Paramount still has the master IMAX negative — from which new prints can be struck.

 

[ComicChick]

okay i misread as they destroyed the masters as well.

I've rewatched Interstellar a few times since it originally came out, with one of those rewatches being quite recently.

It's such a phenomenal film, and definitely high up in my top 10 all time films. I've yet to see a Nolan film which I didn't enjoy, but there's just something about Interstellar that elevates it beyond his other works for me. I think it's how it deftly combines the sci-fi aspects of the film with emotion and the whole family angle - sometimes devastatingly so.

I remember going to see it in the cinema and thinking it would 'just' be a space movie with some clever Nolan angle, and it was so much more. I can also appreciate how it attempts to take a more realistic approach to the space elements than most sci-fi films do - I'm not saying it's always successful in that endeavour, but Nolan certainly put the effort in. Even things as minor as the lack of noise in space attribute a huge amount to the overall tone and atmosphere (no pun intended) of the space scenes, this eerie and deathly silence in the deadly vacuum of space - whereas most other sci-fi flicks have laser noises in space battles, engine noises from the spaceships and so on.

The performances of the whole cast are fantastic, but McConaughey in particular is the glue which holds the whole film together. I only found out recently how they did the scene where he watches the messages from his kids as they grow older - they were pre-recorded by the actors without him seeing them, so when he sat down to film his emotional response, that was a very real response as he watched these messages (in character obviously) for the first time.

It's definitely one of Nolan's best. I loved the movie when I first saw it but my appreciation for it over the years has only grown.

Nolan brought the emotion in this movie more than he had previously or even since. It's why it's one of his best for me.

One question I had about the ending: why didn’t anyone from Cooper Station undertake a mission to visit (or rescue) Brand on Edmunds planet? Why was it Cooper?

I read a review of the movie, where the writer's view was that Cooper was dead and it was his ghost travelling around. At the end when he goes to see his daughter he makes peace with himself and can move on. So he travels to his version of heaven, which is being with Brand. An interesting take.

Of all the places in Canada, a single theater in Saskatchewan for the 70mm? I wanna be there for how that happened.

Nolan prints his scripts on red paper...

Watching on AMC right now.

Very minor thing, but I do feel like it’s funny to see Murph go from a little girl to a woman in her late thirties (possibly forties if she’s supposed to be the same age as McConaughey), all while Michael Caine goes from an old man to… a slightly older man in the same span of time.

If he hadn’t killed that “Do not go gently into the night” speech, I almost think they should’ve cast a younger version of Brandt for the first act of the film.

I forgot he was even in this movie.
