Interstellar is an upcoming science fiction film to be produced and directed by Steven Spielberg. The movie, described by Spielberg to be a cerebral sci-fi film, will be themed on wormholes.
[edit] Production
In June 2006, Paramount Pictures announced its goal to develop a space travel story with director Steven Spielberg about "a group of explorers who travel through a worm hole and into another dimension".[1] Producer Lynda Obst and Caltech physicist Kip Thorne, the latter who has studied the possibility of traversable wormholes, devised a script treatment that had drawn the attention of Spielberg.[2]
In January 2007, screenwriter Jonathan Nolan met with the studio to discuss adapting Obst and Thorne's treatment into a narrative screenplay. The screenwriter suggested the addition of a "time element" to the treatment's basic idea, which was welcomed by Obsy and Thorne.[2] In March, Paramount hired Nolan, who will begin adapting the treatment after completing the script for Warner Bros.' The Chicago Fire.[3]
