Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, and Legendary Pictures co-financed the film, while Syncopy and Lynda Obst Productions served as production companies. Nolan hired cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema and shot the film on anamorphic 35 mm and IMAX 70 mm photography. Filming commenced in late 2013 in Alberta, Canada; Iceland; and Los Angeles. Double Negative created the visual effects.
Interstellar premiered on October 26, 2014, in Los Angeles and received wide release worldwide. In North America, it was released in film stock to theaters still equipped to project the format, before expanding to venues using digital projectors. It has been a box office success and has received generally positive reviews from critics, who gave particular attention to the film's scientific accuracy, visual effects, and performances, particularly from McConaughey, Foy, and Chastain.[5]

Plot
In the future, a blight threatens Earth's ability to support life, causing civilization to regress into a failing agrarian society. Former NASA pilot Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) runs a farm with his father-in-law, his teenage son, and his 10-year-old daughter Murphy (Mackenzie Foy). Murphy believes her room is haunted by a ghost trying to communicate with her. She and Cooper discover the "ghost" is an unknown intelligence sending coded messages using gravitational waves, leaving binary coordinates in the dust that direct them to a secret NASA installation led by Professor Brand (Michael Caine). Brand reveals that a wormhole, apparently created by an alien intelligence, offers a chance for humanity's survival on a new planet. Using it, NASA's "Lazarus missions" have identified three potentially habitable planets orbiting the black hole Gargantua: Miller, Edmunds, and Mann, named after the astronauts who surveyed them. Brand recruits Cooper to pilot the spacecraft Endurance to recover the astronauts' data; once one of the planets is determined habitable, humanity will follow on space stations. Cooper's decision to leave devastates Murphy, and they part on bad terms.
On Endurance, Cooper joins Brand's daughter, biologist Amelia (Anne Hathaway); physicist Romilly (David Gyasi); geographer Doyle (Wes Bentley); and robots TARS (voiced by Bill Irwin) and CASE (voiced by Josh Stewart). They enter the wormhole and head to Miller, but discover the planet is so close to Gargantua that it experiences severe gravitational time dilation: each hour on the surface is seven years on Earth. The team descends to the planet, which proves inhospitable as it is completely covered by a shallow ocean roiled by enormous tidal waves. As Amelia attempts to recover Miller's data, a wave hits, killing Doyle and delaying the shuttle's departure. When they return to Endurance, 23 years have passed.
On Earth, the adult Murphy (Jessica Chastain) is now a NASA scientist assisting Brand with the equation that will enable NASA to launch its massive space stations via gravity. On his deathbed, Brand admits that he already solved the problem and determined the project is impossible without additional data from a black hole's singularity. He covered up his conclusion and instead put his faith in a "Plan B": using fertilized embryos to start humanity anew.
Low on fuel, Endurance can only visit one more planet before returning to Earth. Amelia believes Edmunds' planet has more promising data, but Cooper and Romilly favor Mann's planet, as Mann (Matt Damon) is still transmitting. Cooper accuses Amelia of letting her emotional attachment to Edmunds cloud her judgment, while Amelia argues they could explore both planets if Cooper would give up on returning to Earth. The team votes for Mann's planet, but they find it to be icy and inhospitable. Mann eventually reveals that he faked data about his planet's viability so that Endurance would rescue him, and that he knew Plan B was the mission's true goal all along. Mann breaks Cooper's spacesuit visor and leaves him to die, and Romilly dies when he triggers a bomb Mann set to protect his secret. Mann flees to Endurance on a shuttle, intending to proceed with Plan B on Edmunds' world. Amelia rescues Cooper on the other shuttle and they arrive at Endurance in time to witness Mann docking improperly. The airlock depressurizes, killing Mann and causing serious damage, but Cooper uses the shuttle to get Endurance under control.
Nearly out of fuel, Cooper and Amelia plan to slingshot Endurance around Gargantua on a course toward Edmunds. TARS and Cooper detach into the black hole, hoping to collect data on the singularity and propel Amelia by dropping mass from the ship. They emerge in an extra-dimensional "tesseract" where time appears as a spatial dimension and portals lead to Murphy's childhood bedroom at various times. Cooper realizes the extra-dimensional beings are future humans who have created this space so he can communicate with Murphy as the "ghost" and save humanity. Using gravitational waves, he transmits TARS's data on the singularity to the adult Murphy through Morse code, allowing her to solve Brand's equation and evacuate Earth. Years later, Cooper awakes aboard a NASA space station and reunites with the now elderly Murphy, who has led humanity's exodus. Murphy convinces Cooper to search for Amelia, who is marooned on Edmunds' planet.

Development and financing
The premise for Interstellar was conceived by film producer Lynda Obst and theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, who collaborated on the 1997 film Contact and had known each other since Carl Sagan once set them up on a blind date.[8][14] Based on Thorne's work, the two conceived a scenario about "the most exotic events in the universe suddenly becoming accessible to humans," and attracted filmmaker Steven Spielberg's interest in directing.[15] The film began development in June 2006 when Spielberg and Paramount Pictures announced plans for a science fiction film based on an eight-page treatment written by Obst and Thorne. Obst was attached to produce the film, which Variety said would "take several years to come together" before Spielberg directed it.[16][17] By March 2007, Jonathan Nolan was hired to write a screenplay for Interstellar.[18]
Steven Spielberg moved his production company DreamWorks in 2009 from Paramount to The Walt Disney Company, and Paramount needed a new director for Interstellar. Jonathan Nolan recommended his brother Christopher, who joined the project in 2012.[19] Christopher Nolan met with Kip Thorne, then attached as executive producer, to discuss the use of spacetime in the story.[3] In January 2013, Paramount and Warner Bros. announced that Christopher Nolan was in negotiations to direct Interstellar.[20] Nolan said he wanted to encourage again the goal of human spaceflight.[21] He intended to write a screenplay based on his own idea that he would merge with his brother's screenplay.[22] By the following March, Nolan was confirmed to direct Interstellar, which would be produced under his label Syncopy and Lynda Obst Productions.[23] The Hollywood Reporter said Nolan will earn a salary of $20 million against 20% of what Interstellar grosses.[24] To research for the film, Nolan visited NASA as well as the private space program SpaceX.[3]
Though Paramount and Warner Bros. are traditionally rival studios, Warner Bros., who released Nolan's Batman films and works with Nolan's Syncopy, sought a stake in Nolan's production of Interstellar for Paramount. Warner Bros. agreed to give Paramount its rights to co-finance the next film in the Friday the 13th horror franchise and to have a stake in a future film based on the TV series South Park. Warner Bros. also agreed to let Paramount co-finance "a to-be-determined A-list Warners property".[25] In August 2013, Legendary Pictures finalized an agreement with Warner Bros. to finance approximately 25 percent of the film's production. Although it failed to renew its eight-year production partnership with Warner Bros., Legendary reportedly agreed to forego financing for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in exchange for the stake in Interstellar.[26]
Writing
Screenwriter Jonathan Nolan was hired by director Steven Spielberg to write a script for Interstellar, and he worked on it for four years.[8] To learn the science, he studied relativity at the California Institute of Technology while writing the script.[27] Jonathan said he was pessimistic about the Space Shuttle program ending and how NASA lacked financing for a manned mission to Mars. The screenwriter found inspiration in science fiction films with apocalyptic themes, such as WALL-E (2008) and Avatar (2009). Entertainment Weekly said, "He set the story in a dystopian future ravaged by blight but populated with hardy folk who refuse to bow to despair."[19] Jonathan's brother, director Christopher Nolan, had worked on other science fiction scripts but decided to take the Interstellar script and choose amongst the vast array of ideas presented by Jonathan and Kip Thorne, picking what he felt he as a director could get "across to the audience and hopefully not lose them", before he merged it with a script on his own he had been working on for years.[28][29] Christopher kept in place Jonathan's conception of the first hour, which is set on a resource-depleted Earth in the near future. The setting was inspired by the Dust Bowl that took place in the United States during the Great Depression in the 1930s. Christopher instead revised the rest of the script in which a team travels into space.[8] After watching the 2012 documentary The Dust Bowl for inspiration, Christopher contacted director Ken Burns and producer Dayton Duncan, requesting permission to use some of their featured interviews in Interstellar.[30]
Casting
Director Christopher Nolan said he became interested in casting Matthew McConaughey after seeing him in an early cut of the 2012 film Mud,[31] which he had an opportunity to see since he was friends with one of its producers, Aaron Ryder.[8] While McConaughey was in New Orleans, Louisiana filming for the TV series True Detective, Nolan invited the actor to visit him at his home. Anne Hathaway was also invited to Nolan's home, where she read the script for Interstellar.[32] Paramount announced in April 2013 that both actors were cast in the film's starring roles.[33] Nolan called McConaughey's character an everyman with whom "the audience could experience the story".[34] Jessica Chastain was contacted while she was filming Miss Julie in Northern Ireland, and a script was delivered to her.[32]
Other well-known actors eventually joined what would become "an all-star cast".[35] Actor Irrfan Khan said he declined a role since he wanted to be in India for the releases of The Lunchbox and D-Day.[36] Actor Siddharth claimed that he auditioned for the film, but was not cast due to failing a screen test.[37] Matt Damon was cast in late August 2013 in a supporting role and filmed his scenes in Iceland.[1
Filming
Nolan filmed Interstellar with anamorphic 35mm and IMAX film photography.[9] Cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema was hired for Interstellar, as Wally Pfister, Nolan's cinematographer on all of his past films, was working on his directorial debut, Transcendence.[38] IMAX cameras were used for Interstellar more than any of Nolan's previous films. To minimize the use of computer-generated imagery, the director had practical locations built, such as the interior of a space shuttle.[31] Van Hoytema retooled an IMAX camera to be handheld for shooting interior scenes.[8] Some of the film's sequences were shot with an IMAX camera installed in the nosecone of a Learjet.[39]
Nolan, who is known to keep details of his productions secret, strove to ensure secrecy for Interstellar. The Wall Street Journal reported, "The famously secretive filmmaker has gone to extreme lengths to guard the script to ... Interstellar, just as he did with the blockbuster Dark Knight trilogy."[40] As one security measure, Interstellar was filmed under the name Flora's Letter,[41] Flora being one of Nolan's four children with producer Emma Thomas.[3]
The film's principal photography was scheduled to last for four months.[11] It began on August 6, 2013 in the province of Alberta, Canada.[26] Towns in Alberta where filming took place included Nanton, Longview, Lethbridge, and Okotoks. In Okotoks, filming took place at the Seaman Stadium and the Olde Town Plaza.[41] For a cornfield scene, Nolan sought to grow corn, which he learned was feasible from his involvement as producer on Man of Steel (2013).[3] Production designer Nathan Crowley planted 500 acres of corn that would be destroyed in an apocalyptic dust storm scene,[19] intended to be similar to storms experienced during the Dust Bowl in 1930s United States.[3] Additional scenes involving the dust storm and McConaughey's character were also filmed in Fort Macleod, where the giant dust clouds were created on location using large fans to blow cellulose-based synthetic dust through the air.[42] Filming in the province lasted until September 9, 2013 and involved hundreds of extras as well as approximately 130 crew members, most of them local.[41]
Filming also took place in Iceland, where Nolan had previously filmed scenes for his 2005 film Batman Begins.[43] The crew transported mock spaceships weighing approximately 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) to the country,[3] which was chosen to represent two extraterrestrial planets: one covered in ice, and one covered in water.[8] A two-week Iceland shoot was scheduled[11] and a crew of approximately 350 people, including 130 locals, worked on it. Locations included the Svínafellsjökull glacier and the town of Klaustur.[44][45] While filming in Iceland, actress Anne Hathaway almost suffered hypothermia since her dry suit in a water scene was not secure.[3]
After the Iceland shoot, the crew moved to Los Angeles to film for 54 days. Filming in California was relatively unusual since California's tax credit was not available for films with a budget greater than $75 million. Filming locations included the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, the Los Angeles Convention Center, a Sony Pictures soundstage in Culver City, and a private residence in Altadena.[46] Filming concluded in December 2013, and Nolan started editing the film for its release in 2014.[47] Production completed with a budget of $165 million, $10 million less than what was allotted by Paramount, Warner Bros., and Legendary Pictures.[3]
Production design
The Endurance spacecraft is based on the International Space Station
Interstellar features three spacecraft: the Ranger, the Endurance, and the Lander. The Ranger's function is similar to the space shuttle's, being able to enter and exit planetary atmospheres. The Endurance, the crew's mother ship, has a circular structure formed by 12 capsules: four with planetary colonization equipment, four with engines, and four with the permanent functions of cockpit, medical labs and habitation. Production designer Nathan Crowley said the Endurance was based on the International Space Station: "It's a real mish-mash of different kinds of technology. You need analogue stuff as well as digital stuff, you need back-up systems and tangible switches. It's really like a submarine in space. Every inch of space is used, everything has a purpose." Lastly, the Lander transports the capsules with colonization equipment to planetary surfaces. Crowley compared it to "a heavy Russian helicopter".[8]

The film also features two robots, CASE and TARS. Nolan wanted to avoid making the robots anthropomorphic and chose a five-foot quadrilateral design. The director said, "It has a very complicated design philosophy. It's based on mathematics. You've got four main blocks and they can be joined in three ways. So you have three combinations you follow. But then within that, it subdivides into a further three joints. And all the places we see lines—those can subdivide further. So you can unfold a finger, essentially, but it's all proportional." Actor Bill Irwin voiced and physically controlled both robots, but his image was digitally removed from the film and his voicing for CASE was replaced.[8]
