Steven Spielberg arbeitete ein Jahr lang an „Interstellar“ und sagt: „Ich war davon fasziniert“, bevor er abbrach: „In Nolans Händen war es ein viel besserer Film“

**Spielberg:**

> “I was involved with ‘Interstellar’ for a year… and I became fascinated with it. I spent a lot of time at the [Jet Propulsion Laboratory] in Pasadena, California, talking to the scientists there and the aerospace engineers.”

> “I actually hired Chris Nolan’s brother [Jonathan] to write the first and second draft for me, but it didn’t stick. Jonah actually said, ‘If there comes a point where you decide not to make this movie, **I can tell you who’s gonna grab it. He’s already bugging me about it. And that’s my brother Chris.’ He was absolutely right. The second I decided not to make it, Chris jumped on board, probably the next day. ‘Interstellar’ was a much better movie in Chris Nolan’s hands than it would have been in mine.**”

This dude has his hands on so many scripts.

You’d be surprised how many movies he had his name attached to at one point. 

Everything from The Truman show, to apparently Interstellar.

Solid journalism Variety:

Reviews for “Interstellar” were far more mixed than Nolan’s previous acclaimed efforts like “The Dark Knight” and “Interstellar.”

Why is ilhan Omar in the thumbnail?

This is fascinating to me because it ended up basically being Nolan’s attempt to make a Spielberg film – only Nolan is so much more clinical and less sentimental than Spielberg, and I think the direction reflects that. I think that makes the film signify differently – as an attempt at connection by someone who usually withholds emotion. Which is to some degree what the movie is literally about.
