Interstellar - Part 6

[Tacit Ronin]

There is an orgy going on at Nolanfaps, concerning a trailer 5.

Check these lists depending on your location and if it says 1570 then you are good.

Actually they just put out a full official list of theaters playing the different film formats.

Which is good because I have a local IMAX that could have played the film in 15/70 but are playing it digitally instead but some of their other screens are playing the film in 35mm. Very odd.

Same for me, minus the 35mm screenings. Really disappointed that there isn't a 70mm showing I can get to.

Oops forget I posted that. Sorry mods. I didn't realize what that was. Thought it was a gif from an official release.

Best official list which includes non-US theatres is here: http://imax.com/community/blog/advance-tickets-for-interstellar-on-sale-now/

And yeah IMAX trailer 5 bootleg is out and is glorious. Nolan may have cut this one himself and also this may be Zimmer's score too.

Imax-trailer...

I just died.

 

[Anita18]

Are we allowed to post that kind of stuff?

Whatever, I AM HERE FOR THE WORMHOLES IN IMAX YOU CANNOT IMAGINE!

 

[dark_b]

i get the movie 6th november. 1 month to go.

thank you god

 

[BatLobster]

Just saw the IMAX trailer...

I wonder if that was Zimmer's score too, my gut says it was. There was a lot of organ, like there was in the teaser score.

But wow, the black hole and wormhole visuals are just...I can't even imagine how immersive that stuff will be in IMAX.

Just so you guys know,

Calculating the bending of light due to black holes is actually quite a difficult calculation.

I wonder if the black holes will be rotating?

Most people don't know that black hokes rotate so if they see one in a movie they'll lose their ****.

If it says 1570 only, then you know it’s a 70mm projection. However, such “exclusive” venues seem to be rare (mostly located in science museums, etc.). For the more typical cineplexes, the theaters are either digital only or can handle both formats. So while a 1570+DIG listing is promising, it doesn’t really tell you what format will be shown - other inquiries will be necessary. As I understand it, there aren’t enough 1570 prints for all the 1570 projectors.

Judging by the trailers, it sure looks like they're rotating.

 

[DA_Champion]

I'm avoiding the trailers, but thanks

I think that will be a significant contribution to the public consciousness.

 

[Deserana]

Wow. The trailer yet again barely shows anything new but what it did show....

That looked incredible, so jealous there isnt even a 70mm screen remotely near me.

 

[Donut]

I wonder why that trailer was not officially released

 

[Deserana]

I think it was cause they wanted it in IMAX for the experience but seeing the reaction it's getting I'll be surprised if it isn't. The last 30 seconds alone would get more bums in seats than the other trailers.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

I dunno what was more impressive, the last couple of shots or what seems to me Zimmer's score. He wasn't kidding about going a radically new approach.

 

[craigdbfan]

Dat dere trailer. Dat dere score. Dat dere humanity feels.

This movie is looking like a gamchanger. I know that word is used a lot around here but it's warranted in this case seeing as some of the most respected directors in the industry are already lauding this a masterpiece. That's beyond high praise.

 

[Deserana]

The best thing is that if you total up every bit of footage we've seen I dont think we've even cracked 8 minutes as most of the footage is stuff already seen.

A few years ago, I did some reading on (hypothetically) “traversable wormholes.” (Actually, this area of research was begun by Kip Thorne when Carl Sagan asked him for technical advice for Contact.) Anyhoo, much of the science was over my head; but my understanding was that such wormholes cannot exist within black holes if they are to be practically traversable. (I.e., even if you could survive the trip, the black hole’s event horizon is the point-of-no-return. So it’s like being trapped in a subway train. You can travel from one station to another; but you can’t get out of the subway system.)

What you need (apparently) is to find a black hole singularity that is no longer inside a black hole (a so-called “naked singularity”). This gets you access to a wormhole without all the nastiness that comes with event horizons, etc. However, a naked “point singularity” is no good because a spaceship can’t travel through a point. What you need to find is a naked “ring singularity.” Such a singularity is produced when the “point” is drawn out into a “ring” by centrifugal force - and a spaceship can, theoretically, go through the ring. And the centrifugal spin is, in turn, provided by… a rotating black hole (which has subsequently dissipated).

So presumably, what Interstellar depicts is a scientifically accurate representation of a ring singularity/wormhole mouth - and not a black hole, per se.

There's been what, maybe 6 minutes of actual footage and still jack **** about the movie? Dayum son. And dat music. Dat footage. Dat Nolan.

SCIENCE!!!

Okay, so watching it again...I feel pretty certain that the music is Zimmer, which is getting me even more excited. He wasn't kidding around when he said they were going to ditch his signature sound.

It has shades of both 2001 and a sweeping, romantic John Williams suite, but with Zimmer's spin. I'm really intrigued.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

So glad there's a true IMAX theater just 30 minutes from where I live. I am so gonna be there at midnight!

 

[vinny]

There are 10 million people in Chicago and the burbs.... I can't believe that Navy Pier is the only theater showing this in 70MM......
