Christopher Nolan didn’t launch a film this 12 months, so theaters are bringing again one in every of his previous ones to compensate. Interstellar was set to return to theaters subsequent month however will as a substitute be delayed till December, Selection stories.
The 2014 area epic starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain will hit theaters once more on December 6 as a substitute of September 27 as initially deliberate. The revival marks the tenth anniversary of Nolan’s ninth film and can embody 70mm IMAX showings.
Interstellar tracks astronauts on a mission to discover a new liveable planet for Earth’s remaining residents to flee to. It’s a film concerning the destruction of the planet and the facility of affection, and one in every of Nolan’s extra emotional and human tasks. It’s the one time he’s labored with McConaughey, and the actor gave one in every of his finest performances in it on the peak of the McConaissance (Dallas Purchaser’s Membership was a 12 months earlier).
So why the delay? “The theatrical launch date was pushed to align with the house leisure relaunch,” Selection stories. I do not know what that basically means since Interstellar is already accessible at dwelling, however the publication says Paramount disputes current rumors that the shift was resulting from misplaced or destroyed copies of the unique 70mm reels.
As an alternative, Paramount says it has loads of archived copies of the film, however that some movie reels expertise put on and tear from customary use. The corporate provides that it’s regular for them to change into unusable after their unique theatrical runs. I suppose Paramount simply didn’t need to get clobbered by Transformers One on the field workplace that month.
Regardless of the case, it’ll be price it to attend just a few further months so followers can as soon as once more witness one of many coolest area sequences in movie on the massive display screen. It’ll even be fascinating to reappraise one in every of Nolan’s headiest motion pictures (he co-wrote it together with his brother, Jonathan Nolan). A current viral TikTok popularized a wholly inverted interpretation of the film that’s filled with holes however enjoyable to ponder on a re-watch.
