Interstellar (Christopher Nolan) *SPOILERS FROM POST 458 ONWARDS*

Sad Professor

His brother has been attached to this for a while. And so was Spielberg, but it seems Nolan has now stepped in. It's a sci-fi film about explorers who travel through a wormhole into an alternate dimension. It's apparently based on real-world science. The original treatment was written by Caltech physicist Kip S. Thorne.

Michael Caine and Hans Zimmer should be expecting a phone call soon :pac:

Goldstein

Hard science fiction about time travel & alternate dimensions. Jonathan Nolan script. Christopher Nolan Directing.

That sounds very promising.

Rabidlamb

Not exactly new ground for Nolan.
Part of me would like to see how he'd do with a straight up comedy or romcom.
Thought he could do no wrong up until the nonsensical TDKR, I was a fanboy before that car crash.

Corholio

Caine apparently already has being spoke to about being in it. I remember him some time last year talking about a secret project Nolan was doing, I presume this is it.

This should fill the sci-fi void that is left by Robopocalypse, now that its not happening, or not happening anytime soon anyway.

Matthew McConaughey is suppose to be attached now

Sliders: The Movie, at last.

I didn't like him before but Killer Joe renewed my faith in him. Think he pulled off one of the most unsettling performances of 2012.

.

Why?

He's not a comedy or rom com director. I would have thought that was at least glaringly obvious based on the genres he has directed.

Playboy

Matthew McConaughey can be a very good actor but he needs a character to play. When he plays himself his performances are just awful but when he can get his teeth into something like Killer Joe and Magic Mike he can be very good.

Movie idea sounds great and I'm sure Nolan will do the idea justice. Looking forward to it.

The Lincoln Lawyer renewed my faiht in him. Magic Mike and Killer Joe sealed the deal. Seems since he's got married and settled down, he's taken the acting lark a bit more serious.

Stewie agrees.
Terrible audio but worth it nonetheless

Hoyte Van Hoytema (Let the Right One In, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Fighter) is Nolan's new cinematographer

some more bashing.

Sad Professor

Hoytema is an fantastic choice. He's is known for his diffuse, low colour cinematography, which is very filmic and couldn't be any further from the current Hollywood obsession with sharpness and orange & teal. I was expecting a Hollywood heavy-hitter with experience with large formats and a preference for celluloid, such as Robert Elswit. But Hoytema is a much more interesting choice. Let the Right One In's cinematography creates an atmosphere of lonely isolation that really adds to the storytelling. Compare this to the lighting in the American remake which is typical horror movie cinematography.

I really liked how the original LTROI was shot, very bleak

Not much to go on but god I could listen to MMc's voice all day. :pac:

A year?

But, but, but, I want it now!

pixelburp

Now that's how you do a teaser trailer. I'm sure the plot-spoiling version will appear in time but for now it's a good example of how to tease a concept & plot; still not entirely sure what this is about, but there's enough hints and nods to get people thinking / excited. Certainly it seems like 'Interstellar' is not just a figurative title, but that it indeed does revolve around space travel.

Also, I've said it before but fair play to McConaughey (or his agent anyway) for turning his career around and becoming a 'proper' leading man.

That's absolutely superb. It captures the spirit of science fiction so succinctly and the emotional drive that powers it. This tone is extremely encouraging for Interstellar. That's cheered me up no end

Corholio

Great teaser.

I especially love the ".....But we've lost all that" bit. It definitely hints at a human story of trying to go further than before to succeed.

krudler

I like the release as being "one year from now" not a specific date or just "November" or something, nice touch.

FortuneChip

Well there's the next movie for me to constantly speculate over for the next year.
Excellent.

Duggy747

I've liked McConaughey of late, from spending so many years on rom-coms and throwaway fluff (with every poster of him leaning at an angle :pac:) you'd easily forget that he's a watchable and very talented actor.

Fortunately, something clicked for him to start flexing his acting chops in more meatier roles in the past few years.

The 'close your eyes' scene from 'A Time To Kill' is still one of my favourite moments in a film.

He is a very good actor and it's to his credit that all the nonsense stuff doesn't seem to have damaged him, considering his roles in 'Mud' and 'Killer Joe'.

Adamantium

He was great in Contact, but then so was everybody. If Interstellar aims for that sort of smartish sci-fi, i'll be a happy man indeed.

I'd love for a culture shock/enigmatic landmark film like 2001 again, that inspires people about space travel and the universe solely again ,that has no real conflict/baddie as such just ideas, and Nolan probably the few that make such a movie of such scale and get it a mass audience


He left the masses talking about Inception, buh will he have them WTF-king even more this time?

The same way he got some roaring that was pure "****" and others "that was genius"

Sad Professor

Hopefully this is the film of big ideas that Gravity wasn't.

Snake Plisken

I f*cking love Chris Nolan! this looks epic, if it goes like The Prestige/Inception it will require multiple viewings to pick up everything Nolan wants to show us! Like the Zimmer trailer theme very low key! Roll on "1 year from now" :-)

Burt Macklin

I'm just glad that we live in a world where Christopher Nolan has studio backing to make a big budget original science fiction movie.

Gandalph

Judging from the trailer I reckon they all get attacked by space orcs

FlashD

Everything Nolan directs turns to gold, not only is he visually brilliant but he also more importantly tells an engaging story.

Really looking forward to this next year.

With the billions he's made Warner Bros at this stage I'd say he's one of the few directors who can get a blank cheque for whatever project he wants, are all his films perfect? No, but he's an A list director who sticks to his guns and use effects where needed instead of shoehorning them in everywhere instead of using real stunts and practical effects. I loved that the rotating corridor in Inception was done for real, it's the kind of stuff you rarely see in movies anymore

meh - wasn't blown away... hopefully it'll be ok

Snake Plisken

Actually couldn't really warm to Memento, must give that another spin! But everything else has been brilliant! And don't believe this will be any different! The teaser reminded me of The Right Stuff & Man Of Steel's Smallville farmland scenes and Contact! This will probably be the one movie I'll go to see in the Cinema next year! Also no fecking 3D which is great! Just a shame we still don't have an Imax screen for these movie events! I would pay good money to see all of Nolan's IMAX work on an IMAX screen!

MilanPan!c

Watched it again and still - meh.

Admittedly I'm very lukewarm on Nolan, but still... Don't get all the praise this teaser is getting. But sure, lots of praise for Contact around these parts and that's IMO one of the most overrated movies ever made.

Would strongly advise you to watch Memento again, you have a better appreciation of the layers and structure of the film the second time round. In my opinion it's Nolan's best work (so far anyway).

Overrated? I've met maybe two people in real life who actually like that film
