Christopher Nolan Talks Creating Black Holes In INTERSTELLAR Featurette

Get a lesson in astrophysics, mathematical equations and black holes in this fascinating new video for writer/director Christopher Nolan’s INTERSTELLAR.

In the featurette Nolan, co-writer Jonathan Nolan, producer Emma Thomas, theoretical physicist/executive producer Kip Thorne, and VFX Supervisor Paul Franklin explain how they went about making for the big screen these regions in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out.

These groundbreaking techniques resulted in surprisingly real findings for the astrophysics community.

Interstellar is bold & ballsy. Huge ideas done in a concrete grounded way, and some of the finest space travel spectacle this side of 2001.
