Interesting facts about Interstellar

Christopher Nolan and Matthew McConaughey had different opinions about each other because they had never worked before. Nolan was expecting McConaughey to be laid back, and McConaughey believed Nolan would want everything perfect. When they arrived on the set, they found out both were different personalities.

Only for the movie Interstellar, a new CGI technology was developed to draw wormholes using mathematical equations. Another fantastic fact about Interstellar is that the original script was a completely different film.

Green screens were hardly utilized in the movie because the director wanted to give actors something to respond to. Instead, visual Effects were designed before the scene’s shooting, and they were playing while filming that particular scene.

Before Christopher Nolan signed on to be the director of Interstellar and transformed it into a major-budget production, Steven Spielberg was attached to lead the project.

When filming the scene on the ice-covered planet in Iceland, Anne Hathaway was diagnosed with hypothermia due to her astronaut suit being uncovered as she swam in the cold water.
