Interstellar is an upcoming science fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan and written by him and his brother Jonathan Nolan, from a treatment by Kip Thorne and producer Lynda Obst. It will be produced by Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures, through Nolan's and Emma Thomas' Syncopy Inc. It is scheduled to be released on November 7, 2014.

Plot

An exploration of physicist Kip Thorne's theories of gravity fields, wormholes and several hypotheses that Albert Einstein was never able to prove.

Cast

Production

Carl Sagan once asked Kip Thorne to examine the time travel section of the manuscript for Contact. Thorne immediately dismissed Sagan's hypothesis; however, he later had an epiphany — wormholes may be used as time machines. His subsequent work, Wormholes, Time Machines and the Weak Energy Condition, along with other papers, has made him popular with science fiction fans.

In June 2006, Steven Spielberg announced he would direct a scientifically accurate film about "a group of explorers who travel through a worm hole and into another dimension", from a treatment by Kip Thorne and producer Lynda Obst. In January 2007, screenwriter Jonathan Nolan met with the studio to discuss adapting Obst and Thorne's treatment into a narrative screenplay. The screenwriter suggested the addition of a "time element" to the treatment's basic idea, which was welcomed by Obst and Thorne. In March, Paramount hired Nolan as well as scientists from Caltech, forming a workshop that will begin adapting the treatment after completing the script for Warner Bros.' The Chicago Fire. The following July, Kip Thorne said there was a push by people for him to portray himself in the film Interstellar. On January 9, 2013, it was announced that Christopher Nolan would take over direction of the project. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it is "unclear if Spielberg will remain involved". The film will be scored by Hans Zimmer.

The film is co-financed by Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Entertainment. In coming to a deal with its rival studio, Warner Bros., which maintains an overall deal with Nolan's Syncopy label, relinquished to Paramount its rights to co-finance the next Friday the 13th horror film as well as a potential future South Park movie, which are two properties that were originally owned by Paramount before being bought by Warner Bros. Also included in the negotiations was an agreement to let Paramount co-finance a to-be-determined A-list Warner Bros. property.

In April 2013, Hoyte Van Hoytema was appointed as the film's director of photography, replacing Nolan's long time collaborator Wally Pfister, who was unavailable due to his own directorial debut Transcendence. Nolan will partially shoot the film in IMAX, a format he popularized when filming The Dark Knight (2008). Jessica Chastain entered negotiations to appear in the film. Additionally, Michael Caine was also reported to have signed on to appear, making Interstellar the sixth collaboration between him and Christopher Nolan. Pincipal photography is expected to start in August 2013 in Calgary, Canada.
