Interstellar is undoubtedly one of Christopher Nolan’s most popular films from his career. The film was Nolan’s first foray into making an epic space film that explored the search for a new planet for survival. The film, like most of Nolan’s films, boasted an impressive ensemble cast led by Matthew McConaughey.
Nolan’s films like The Dark Knight trilogy have been re-released over the years and recently his 2020 film Tenet got re-released this February on IMAX screens for a week. Now, it seems Interstellar is following this tradition as the film reportedly will have a re-release a decade after its release.
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar Set for Re-Release in IMAX This November
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar is one of the director’s most celebrated films. The score, the visuals, and the emotional angle of the film are still talked about today. The film starred Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, Michael Caine, and Matt Damon. The film chronicled one man’s journey to save humankind and the evolution of his family through his journey.
The film was a huge success when it was released in 2014 and it seems the film is set to be re-released this year. Following the recent successful re-release of his 2020 film Tenet, it has now been reported (via X) that Interstellar will have an IMAX re-release in November 2024. This is great news for those who missed the original release, and who have been wanting to see the film on the biggest screen possible.
The re-release of Tenet in February managed to gross $600,000 from 55 IMAX locations worldwide in its three-day haul (via Collider). IMAX has had a great relationship with Nolan for many years and has been instrumental in the success of his recent film Oppenheimer. Interstellar‘s re-release is great news for Nolan fans who can continue supporting the film even after a decade.
Watching Interstellar Was an Incredibly Emotional Experience for Cillian Murphy
Cillian Murphy has starred in six of Christopher Nolan‘s films. In addition to Michael Caine, it seems like Murphy is another of Nolan’s muse and their relationship has evolved greatly over the years. In an interview with The Independent, the actor was asked which Nolan film (in which he was not in) he wanted to have appeared in.
Murphy stated that he would have loved to be in Interstellar as he loved the film a lot. He found it more comfortable to watch than other Nolan films in which he participated. He found the film incredibly emotional and having younger kids of his own at the time, it broke his heart. He said,
“I adore ‘Interstellar’ just because I find it so emotional I remember seeing it in the cinema when I had little kids. It just had a big impact on me. It broke my heart. I love watching his films when I’m not in them because you don’t have to freak out about the size of your ears, or whatever.”
Murphy starred in the lead role for the first time in a Nolan film with 2023’s Oppenheimer. Both of them won an Oscar for Best Actor and Director. The film also went on to win 5 other Oscars including Best Picture. Fans can watch Interstellar on Max.
