![]() You have to start examining these things as practical possibilities. You have to start wrestling with the idea of scale, with the idea of these vast distances, these enormous planets, what a wormhole would look like, what a black hole would be like. Your perspective immediately starts to change. In making it seem attainable, you think about it very differently. generation has grown up with far too little interaction with the idea of leaving this planet, with the idea of getting out and exploring our place in the solar system and then the galaxy and then the universe. “You hear about these things as abstractions, and then you go to SpaceX, and they’re building rockets. Nolan did tons and tons of research on his own as well, going to NASA, and Elon Musk’s SpaceX base. “We had to write a completely new renderer.” ( Wired) ‘I thought we might cross the petabyte threshold on this one,'” said Double Negative CG Supervisor Eugénie von Tunzelmann. In the end the movie brushed up against 800 terabytes of data. “Some individual frames took up to 100 hours to render, the computation overtaxed by the bendy bits of distortion caused by an Einsteinian effect called gravitational lensing. ![]() The special effects are so extensive, the team had to develop new technology. “But the spirit of it, the goal of having a movie in which science is embedded in the fabric from the beginning-and it’s great science-that was preserved.'” ( Wired)īarry Keoghan Hopes to Work with the Safdies, Barry Jenkins, and Lynne Ramsay: ‘There’s Quite a Few’ “The story is now essentially all Chris and Jonah’s,” Thorne says. ![]() ![]() So he started meeting with Thorne. Over the course of a couple months in early 2013, Thorne and Nolan delved into what the physicist calls ‘the warped side of the universe’-curved spacetime, holes in the fabric of reality, how gravity bends light. “While Chris Nolan was rewriting his brother’s script, he wanted to get a handle on the science at the heart of his story. In fact, Nolan wanted the film to be as scientifically accurate as possible. But he had an idea how to make it happen.” ( Wired) As a filmmaker, Nolan had no idea how to make something like that look realistic. To make this scientifically plausible, Thorne told him, he’d need a massive black hole-in the movie it’s called Gargantua-spinning at nearly the speed of light. “Interstellar” will feature the most scientifically accurate (as far as we now know) depiction of a black hole on screen.Īstrophysicist Kip Thorne became a crucial element in the development of “Interstellar.” “Nolan’s story relied on time dilation: time passing at different rates for different characters. ![]()
