Interstellar Movie: Everything About Director Christopher Nolan's Sci-Fi Epic Based On Hard Science! 'First Time' Worm Holes And Black Holes Are Depicted Accurately Says Astrophysicist Kip Thorne
Now showing worldwide, Interstellar has had audiences both wowed and touched in equal measure. Actress Jessica Chastain insists that at the heart of this sci-fi epic from Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan, is a love story between a father and his daughter. "This film is a thrilling action-adventure space exploration,"Jessica said in an interview with USA Today. "But for me, at the core of it, it's about the bonds of love. And about a father and a daughter."
Leave it to Christopher Nolan to find an emotional core in a sci-fi adventure, and while that will draw many non sci-fi fans to see the Interstellar movie, they will surely appreciate the science and the visuals of the movie which are quite spectacular too.
This is because the Interstellar movie is based on real, hard science. In fact, the story and the science behind the movie is not just based on the imagination of Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan, who co-wrote the film with him. It is based on the work of renowned astrophysicist Kip Thorne.
The scientist is known for his study of such things as black holes, worm holes, and Einstein's Theory of Relativity. In an interview with Yahoo, the scientist shared his thoughts on the Interstellar movie. "The thing that makes this different," Thorne who is both consultant and executive producer on the film shared, "is that real science is woven into it from the beginning."
Nolan reportedly asked Kip Throne to give them equations of black holes and such, for the visual effects artists to translate into accurate visuals. Thus, the Interstellar movie depicts these phenomena just as they would actually look like! "What the algorithms gave us were extremely spectacular," Christopher Nolan explains.
"Neither worm holes nor black holes have been depicted in any Hollywood movie in the way that they actually would appear. This is the first time," Kip Thorne confirms.
