Interstellar - Part 6

[SofNascimento]

I like that.

 

[Marvolo]

Yep, he's in it somewhere.

I thought that was just a running gag on here. Didn't realize he was actually in the film.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

They ran out of time for Matt Damon.

From IMDb:

"Interstellar" is the first film ever to star no less than five Academy Award Winners (Oscars). Those are Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, Ellen Burstyn and Matt Damon.

John Mills, John Gielgud, Richard Attenborough, Charlton Heston, Jack Lemmon and Julie Christie (that’s six) were all Oscar winners who appeared in Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet (1996). This doesn’t include those in the cast who would go on to win later (Judi Dench, Kate Winslet, Robin Williams.)

Daily reminder that the French get to see it before the rest of us non-press not-studio-connected-enough-to-get-premiere-invites mere mortals do

the French are getting an exclusive pre premiere screening at select cinemas around France on the 30th - Nolan is attending the Paris one and doing a 30min Q&A prior which will be streamed to all the locations participating

I caught up with Chastain for an exclusive interview earlier this week at the opening of the launch of the Extrememly Piaget launch party and opening of the French jewelery house's new flagship store on Rodeo Drive.
"I'll tell you a little bit," the Oscar nominee teased. "I'll tell you about my character. I play a woman who is like a scientist. She's super super smart and scientific and she's not whole at the beginning when we see here. There's an emotional part missing that we then wonder, ‘Does she become completed by the end? Is there that journey?' I would say yes."
It may appear to be a sci-fi flick, but Chastain said, "It's definitely a love story, definitely a love story. As much as the film is about outer space and like the most incredible action, adventure, epic, epic film, it's so much about love.
"Trust me," she continued, "there's no way to over hype this film. I never talked like this about a film, but when I saw it I was like I don't know what to do. It's great."

Chastain worked most with Michael Caine.
"There was one day we were doing a scene and they stopped and it was just Michael and I and they were changing the lighting," she remembered. "I was of course asking him all these questions like, ‘Did you ever meet so and so? How as this experience? Tell me about this movie.' There was a little bit of a break and he kind of looked away and I walked over to Christopher Nolan and I just went, ‘Thank you so much. I'll remember this day forever.' It was really special."

It is so great Chastain has lost grammatical coherence.

 

[SofNascimento]

Was stuff like that said about Dark Knight Rises too?

 

[Travesty]

Just "great"? Come on, Chastain, step up your epic game!

 

[Oneironaut]

Was stuff like that said about Dark Knight Rises too?

I remember Gary Oldman throwing the phrases "epic conclusion" and "great story" quite a lot during press interviews. The cast would praise Nolan and compliment each other, but they were overall very chill about it.

Of course, there were also reports of studio executives crying in pre screenings and that TDKR was a flawless movie.

LMFAO those were the good old days

 

[JackWhite]

Yeah, I remember those days of the early hype for TDKR. Saying it was flawless is just a bad omen for any film.

Anyways, I guess I'm still a "Nolanite" because I don't think Interstellar will disappoint.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

All the praise for TDKR were from people who worked on it though. For Interstellar you got PTA praising it.

 

[Doctor Jones]

PTA also made Magnolia, the greatest student film of all time. So he's not the be all authority on movies for me.

 

[jmc]

Word from the Oscar blogs is that too many people outside the studio have seen the film for it to be just studio hype. All the TDKR talk was in studio reports, Man of Steel was the same, WB execs gushing over the film.

 

[antsman41]

I still wish Batman would have died with the bomb. Would have been more fitting and fulfilling of an ending...

The craft of the film alone is tighter than anything not by Scorsese the whole ****ing decade. Narrative is a very minor part about filmmaking. Just because you didn't like the narrative doesn't mean its a 'student' film.

 

[Donut]

It's an opinion dude lighten up (sighs) fan boys

I kind of do to.

Also, I now personally know someone who has seen Interstellar and he has an excellent taste in film and he loved it.

I'm Batman like whoa

 

[Deserana]

Never got why people wanted Batman to die. Nolan's Bruce was somebody who was always looking for a way out of being Batman and he finally gets it in the end.

As for the Interstellar hype it feels a little more than execs gushing. The TDKR "crying" was never real and I cant believe people believed it! The source even at the time was dubious at best.

What else did your friend say about it ?

[Moridin]

To be fair on the hype thing, Edgar Wright did hint that he saw it (though didn't name it specifically) and that it exceeded his already high expectations.

 

[weezerspider]

What else did your friend say about it ?

He said the score was incredible, the set design was fantastic, and the effects were fantastic. He said like DiCaprio in Inception, he feels MM does a fantastic job, but it isn't the kind of performance that will get serious Oscar push. He also said he'd rank it fifth so far of the films he's seen this year. (Inherent Vice, Birdman, Foxcatcher and Boyhood being his top four). I didn't ask about anything plot related because I'm avoiding spoilers. The only negative he said was 'shot selection choices were sort of boring', which sounds like it's typical Nolan in that category. So nothing worries me by that comment.
