Nolan says they shot more of 'Interstellar' in IMAX than any of his previous movies
Post on 'Interstellar' is longer than usual for him because of heavy FX.
Says the technical presentation in theaters of INTERSTELLAR is the most challenging of all his films thus far.
Tone of #interstellar is very different for him. It's about harking back to films from his childhood & the experience they gave him. "I grew up in an era that was a golden age of the blockbuster when something we might call a family film could have universal appeal. That's something I want to see again. In terms of the tone of the film, it looks where we are as a people and has a universality about human experience."
Nolan says he saw an early cut of MUD and that's what made him realize Matthew McConaughey's potential.
"I needed someone who was an everyman, someone the audience could experience the story with. He's just a phenomenal,charismatic presence in this movie. His performance is shaping up to be extraordinary."
Michael Caine does "something new."
Nolan had his production crew design and build the spaceship sets."We shot it like a documentary".
It meant his design team had to prepare their futuristic visions ahead of time.But it "paid huge dividends for the actors."
Nolan says he always views his current film as possibly his last film. He never plans for far ahead.
He didn't know who to root for in this year's best actor race: Leo, Christian and Matthew all worked with the director.
