Christopher Nolan's next: 'Interstellar'
 

Script was written by his brother, and Spielberg was previously attached. link

Don't care what it's about, and I'm seeing it. Nolan has reached that status for me.

Sounds almost like a Futurama episode.

Sounds incredible! Can't wait

It's Nolan so I will watch it.

In.

I love that kind of stuff. Will definitely see this movie.

Me too. The guy hasn't made a bad movie yet.

Can't go wrong here. In.

Nolan needs to do the Hyperion Cantos trilogy.

Exactly. As long as he keeps making good movies, I'll be a Nolan fanboy.

Yep.

"Robopocalypse"?

That sounds terrible.

It's a decent book. Not as good as World War Z but entertaining.

TDKR was a misstep, but I'll still see this.

Just like that awesome guy, M. Night Shamalamadingdong

Awesome, scifi and Nolan is epic.

Whoa, no. M. Night made two good movies.

I'd say the guy made two great movies, two average movies and two movies I haven't seen yet.

But Christopher Nolan hasn't missed yet. Maybe he's due. But probably not. The guy's just so ****ing good.

I misstep? Many ppl think tdkr was the best of the trilogy including me

They tried to make too much shit happen, and most of it ended up falling kinda flat.

TDK had a much more epic feel with a much narrower focus.

You think so? I thought it was a great movie.

I think the hype w/ Ledgers death propped up TDK, but I thought TDKR was the better movie. I think Begins was the best of them all, minus Katie Holmes.

"They're interstellar jump suits."

If anyone is going to make the looong overdue Next Great Sci-Fi Movie... its this guy.

Looking forward to hearing more about it.

What was the last great one in your opinion? Not a fan of Star Trek?

I totally loved the new Trek, i listed it in the top 5 thread... but it wasnt exactly deep, thinking mans fare, which is exactly what i'm expecting from Nolan on this one.

Feels like i've been waiting forever for a serious sci-fi movie that delves into heavy subject matter with some real imagination, Moon definitely fills that bill but was a somewhat sedate study of one mans experience.

I already watch Stargate, then SG1, then SG Atlantis, then SGU..

They ****ed up giving the axe to SGU. That show was really picking up steam. Hope they bring it back some day.

Let me guess the cast....

DiCaprio, Bale, Hardy and Caine...cameo by Al Pacino

You forgot Cotillard.

Agreed.. Unless none of the actors are doing anything it will never happen..

I would like Showtime(I think it was them) get back the SG property.. SGU with a R rating would be awesome..

That was one of my favorite shows by the time it ended.

FYP

Prometheus?

In

saw a trailer today, with guardians in IMAX, looks beautiful
still not sure of the plot

It is a Nolan film. It is going to center around a male lead that is broken in some way, who will sacrifice himself to help others while also finding/fixing what is broken within.

While that fits for many movies, it fits for all of his.

You're the only person I've seen or heard say that.

It's like saying "Many people consider Return of the Jedi the best of the star wars trilogy."

Maybe, but those people don't count. :D

Memento is nearly the exact opposite of that, actually.

Gotta love Memento. I wish Nolan would go back and make another one of these brillaint smallish type films. I think they filmed Memento in under a month.

But yeah the "good guy" in memento is definitely broken and trying to fix himself/circumstances, but he is perfectly willing to sacrifice 'other' people in order to accomplish this, definitely not himself.

True enough. I haven't watched that in about a decade. I probably should.

The movie is pretty ambiguous, but that's not the impression I got. I took it as him using his brokenness to set up unsolvable puzzles for himself, perpetuating the problem, not trying to fix anything.

Oh, he solved them. One dead body after another.

But yeah I think sometimes he was puzzled, but other times he would figure out but then disremember. Like when he finally realized Teddy was using him to knock over drug dealers but there would also be times like he actually felt like he was investigating the "murder" of his wife, although he would also realize that he himself killed her at times. Just a great movie.

YES PLZ. I love you Nolan.

This is going to be the thought provoking sci-fi head trip that Prometheus SHOULD have been... like the look of it more every time I see a trailer.

I'm very excited for this movie

Can't wait for this. All the trailers are great. The score sounds amazing.

Cannot wait for this!

Anything with Nolan, with it.

So Nolan is releasing this early on film. (35mm and 70mm) All those theaters that have moved on to digital are getting it on the normal release date. Naturally this has pissed off a lot of theater owners. Why Nolan and others get such an extreme erection when it comes to film, I have no idea?

That's completely ass backwards...

It's nostalgia mostly. A lot of filmmakers don't like the look of digital. Too crisp, too clean, too TV like.

Film just has a certain look about it.

Just bought two tickets for the IMAX in Leawood at 8pm on Thursday the 6th. Will anybody else be there?

Jesus Christ.

In your heart.

****er better get out of there.

Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar' May Not Be the Awards Juggernaut Everyone Expected http://t.co/9bBkcgeqHZ

— Hollywood Reporter (@THR) October 27, 2014

Sitting at 69% on RT its 2 hrs and 49 min

So basically the writer's idea is that the members of the academy aren't smart enough to understand the movie in one viewing and won't watch anything twice.

I think like with fantasy science fiction is always going to be a hard sell to awards voters. Too much imagination is asked of the audience.

Interesting.

Just read a review by a guy who gave it 2.5 stars out of 5. That is a 50%, not even a passing grade in junior college. I mean, I haven't seen this (yet) but I just can't believe Nolan would fire out a failed product, too much quality control involved with him. While this definitely won't win awards it appears, I think a lot of these critics are trying to make a name for themselves (I mean this critic got me to read his review, had he posted a positive review I probably would not have read it) and make a splash at the expense of Nolan who seems to be a top critic's easy prey.

I think the Nolan fanboys need to hop off his nuts before they actually see the movie ROFL

Most of the negative reviews I've read say it is visually beautiful, but too simple/unrealistic/unbelievable of a story. The simple part sounds silly.

I've read some that say the interpersonal stories are too simple and the science too complicated. Guess we'll see in a week.

That makes more sense.

Depends on how it's used.

Primer was almost boring to tears with all the tech talk but it was for a purpose.

And are we seriously asking the average movie goer to understand ****ing rocket science?

Really?...

It's not that hard.

Hopefully it is not as bad as Gravity. That was the worst critically acclaimed movie I've ever seen.

Yup. I can already see Dems/Reps complaining about how it's driving home the other side's message.

I really hope this flick reignites the public desire for space exploration...

This

Yikes. That looks politicized as all ****.

After that last clip I very much agree.

Lol what?

Gravity was a great movie theater experience.

Just like the intro Omaha Beach scene in Saving Private Ryan.

A true game changer.

Gravity 3d was cool in theatres. Interstellar up to 73%

Ok. I'm really looking forward to this movie, but damn... I don't know if I can stand 3 hours of Matthew McConoughay (sp). His voice is annoying as shit. I'm sure women love it, but I can't stand it. Sounds like he's trying to seduce the audience every time he talks.

I don't think he's talking about the experience. Yes visually Gravity was great and game changing. But as far as the movie itself, the plot and dialogue? Just pure trash. Pretty sure if you removed all the scenes where it's just Sandra Bullock screaming, the movie would be about 25 minutes.

Ive posted on ChiefsPlanet long before Gonzo stole my millions and millions of casino cash. I didn't do it to be cool. I didnt do it to make a statement. I just liked the poop threads.

Haha yeah exactly. It was visually amazing no doubt. I actually just saw Moon the other day. Another different kind of space adventure where the main characters are in isolation. While not visibly astounding at all, i thought it was a better movie
