Interstellar - Part 6

[Faora]

He deliberately asks for more money than necessary... just to make himself look good.

The film's budget: $160 million. Initial - $175 million. But Nolan even save about $10 million.

 

[BatLobster]

Lol, Nolan has THE best troll faces.

I saw INTERSTELLAR last night & I'm just now taking it all in. Holy moley. Amazing.

I like how some people actually think this movie is going to be a turd. For god's sake, Paramount is getting borderline cocky with these screenings.

 

[kvz5]

I don't expect everyone to love this but I find it very, very hard to believe that it'll be a turd.

Interstellar is bold & ballsy. Huge ideas done in a concrete grounded way, and some of the finest space travel spectacle this side of 2001.

Plus if you're a space nut like me there's an IMAX sequence of the ship passing Saturn that'll make you pee. (Hey that rhymed)

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Paramount and WB must be pleased with the reception from these screenings so far...

 

[BatLobster]

Interstellar: Edgar Wright, PTA, Brad Bird and now Rian Johnson approved. Who's next?

Imax Plans Biggest-Ever Theatrical Release For Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar'
7:30 AM PST 10/23/2014 by Etan Vlessing

The giant-screen exhibitor has scheduled 770 engagements worldwide for the film initiative

Nevermind that all-digital theater owners aren't impressed with Christopher Nolan's Interstellar film initiative.

Imax is going all-out to release the upcoming Paramount and Warner Bros. release. "It's the largest release in the history of our company," said Greg Foster, CEO of Imax Entertainment and executive vp of Imax Corp., on an analyst call on Thursday morning following the release of his company's latest earnings.

Imax plans 770 engagements worldwide for Interstellar, mostly in commercial theaters, as it repays Nolan's loyalty to the giant-screen exhibitor. The space drama, which stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain, will hit Imax theaters on November 5, two days earlier than the domestic wide release on November 7.

The tentpole, to screen in 35mm, 70mm and in Imax 70mm, will then reach theaters in China a week later on November 14. The New York City premiere for Interstellar will be in an Imax theater, and a promotional launch planned for the British Film Institute in London will also be on an Imax screen, Foster noted.

Nolan and the Interstellar cast are also due this Sunday at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood for a glitzy red carpet premiere for the picture.

The Toronto-based giant-screen exhibitor has also held "taste-maker" screenings over the last week at its theaters in New York City and San Francisco and another on Wednesday night at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.

"We're doing everything that we can possibly can. The movie represents most everything that Imax tries to uphold in terms of our brand and the responsibility of the filmmaker and the quality of the film itself," Foster added. Nolan, a fan of the Imax format, shot just over an hour of Interstellar using the company's proprietary cameras.
Imax on Thursday also reiterated its support for next year's release of the Weinstein Co. sequel Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend by director Ang Lee. That's despite exhibitor opposition to the Aug. 28, 2015 debut on Netflix and in select Imax theaters around the world, bypassing traditional theaters.

Imax CEO Richard Gelfond told analysts he called exhibitors to smooth out their differences. "They said, we get it. There's been no real fallout between us and them. We're still really good friends. There's still lots of signings. So think of it as a dispute in the family," Gelfond said. He added Imax was looking to provide "alternative content" during a slow releasing period, and was waiting to see how the experiment will turn out.
"Despite the statements, there will be some exhibitors that play [the Crouching Tiger sequel]. We'll find out how it does. If it doesn't work, it won't be part of a trend. But if it does work out, then we'll probably offer the opportunity again," he said.

I got the chance to see the film Interstellar last night…
I am still thinking about it. It is amazing to me that in 2014 there is a movie that can make me forget where I am for a few hours- that when i walk out of the theater i am surprised that it has turned dark outside like I was when i was a kid. I love that a film like this gets made today and you can see it on a big screen… the visuals are insane, as is the imagination of the story. it reminded me of the spirit of my favorite movies growing up, but at the same time, was completely original and new. As so much of who I am is based on these amazing adventures I saw growing up- I am glad that someone is making them for todays audiences. If you get the chance go see this movie in a dark theater with a big screen and lots of popcorn- cause thats how it deserves to be taken in.

Setting here reading about these screenings made me think that its a shame Kubrik isnt still alive. I dont know whether he'd love the film, but Im sure he would appreciate it...probably . Id just love to hear his thoughts about the film.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

At least we still have Spielberg.

 

[Marvolo]

Has Spielberg seen it yet? Interested to hear his thoughts as well.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Has he ever given his thoughts on previous Nolan films? (I recall him mentioning The Dark Knight).

I think he loved TDK but I don't remember seeing any other comments from him about Nolan's other movies.

Cameron has raved about the Batman movies and Inception. I'd be curious to see what he thinks of Interstellar given his sci-fi background and all the pioneering work he has done in VFX.

"I don't make unconventional stories, I don't make non-linear stories. I like linear storytelling a lot. Chris Nolan is brilliant at non-linear storytelling, between his two great masterworks ("Memento" and "Inception"), really. That was non-linear storytelling. I appreciate non-linear storytelling and I go to a lot of movies that have that, but I don't do it. I haven't done that myself. And so I'm much more traditional in how a story should lay out, although there's no law or rule about telling a story."

Here he says the Batmovies are very successful well told stories and beautiful visual art films (4:42):
