WITH our time on Earth coming to an end, a team of explorers undertakes the most important mission in human history — traveling beyond this galaxy to discover whether mankind has a future among the stars. From acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, well-known for his “Inception” and his “Dark Knight” films, the Hollywood heavyweight science fiction film “Interstellar” has been screened nationwide since Wednesday.
The movie stars several Oscar winners, including Matthew McConaughey (“Dallas Buyers Club”), Anne Hathaway (“Les Miserables”), Ellen Burstyn (“Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”) and Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules”), along with Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark Thirty”).
The story was written by Nolan and his brother Christopher; the director combined his idea with a script developed by his brother in 2007, and produced the film with his wife, Emma Thomas.
“It’s wonderful to work for the same project, and at the same time have a family together,” said Thomas, when the Nolan couple attended the China premiere of “Interstellar” in Shanghai on Monday with Hathaway and McConaughey.
“It’s my first time to visit the Chinese mainland, and Shanghai is really an incredible city,” Nolan said.
When they talked about Chinese movies, both Nolans said their favorite Chinese film director was Zhang Yimou, and they like his early product “Ju Dou” (1990).
“Interstellar” is the second collaboration between Hathaway and the director, after “The Dark Knight Rises” (2012). This time Hathaway, the only female actor in the film, plays an intelligent astronaut professor.
“Compared with this role, both intelligent females, the astronaut Amelia Brand (in “Interstellar”) is book smart and the cat burglar Selina Kyle (in “The Dark Knight Rises”) stands for a kind of street smart,” said Hathaway.
Shooting the film took over five months. While it contains lots of physics and advanced science, the director says audiences need to just sit back and experience the journey in space and get into the characters and story, rather than trying to understand all of the scientific goings-on.
