Jonah Nolan to write Spielberg's "Interstellar"

By Karl Schneider     March 23, 2007

According to Variety, Paramount has hired Jonah Nolan to write a script for Steven Spielberg's upcoming space adventure, Interstellar.

The film is an exploration of physicist Kip Thorne's theories of gravity fields, wormholes and several hypotheses that Albert Einstein was never able to prove.  It is believed that explorers will travel through a worm hole and into another dimension.

The film is currently aiming for a 2009 release.


KJ's Take:  I expect this to hit theaters in 2010 and I have been eagerly awaiting it since I first heard about it a ways back.  I like Nolan's work, so that is an added bonus.

Jonah is Jonathan Nolan, right? Yeah... he is good, but will this be his first script without his brother? I guess we'll see if he can go solo.

I presume this will be a science-heavy story? If so, I am soooooo down with it!

Hmmmmm, i will only see this if the other dimension is Bizarro world or Eternia...

As much as I like most of what Spielberg does, I get nervous when I hear that “Interstellar†is an exploration of Kip Thorne’s ideas about gravity fields. I think Speilberg means well, but he has a history of throwing out the science for the story. Since this is a money-making endeavor, I don’t blame him for that since most of his audience won’t know the difference anyway, but to announce up front that this is a movie about Kip Thorne’s ideas is probably disingenuous. Take “War of the Worlds†for example. He, understandably, wanted a fresh take on an invasion from Mars. However the story he came up with was ridiculous from a scientific point of view. He threw out the idea that the Martians invaded by crossing space, a logical way of invading, in favor of a fresh and perhaps scarier idea that made very little sense. Anybody who hasn’t seen this movie should stop reading now! Spielberg did keep the ending of the book. The original idea was that the Martians were defeated by exposure to Earth’s biosphere. This was cutting-edge science fiction in the 19th century because scientists were just realizing the role of viruses and bacteria. In the 21st century this makes no sense at all. Speilberg would have us believe that an old, advanced race of aliens who had interplanetary travel and could build huge machines that could tunnel through the Earth, would not know even the simplest facts about biology. A completely unbelievable premise since the aliens were biological in nature. Having said that, it is true that some of the latest (unproved) theories, which propose that dark matter is actually matter in another dimension that exacts its attraction using the hyper-dimensional nature of the Higgs boson, do have some story possibilities. I just hope the baby doesn’t get thrown out with the bathwater.

This better not be like Contact or Fire in the Sky, where the much anticipated event is a short blip towards the end. War of the Worlds was okay. They did come from another planet...the alien spaceships were above, they fired the aliens into the ground, where they had parked their tripods. They then proceeded to flambe or puree humans.

Eh...that's all really...eh. Again, need to see a preview to have an opinion on this idea. My favorite movie so far about wormholes and alternate dimensions so far would be the cheesy yet creepy "Event Horizon." And I'm totally with you, originaldave77...to quote "South Park", "You wait the whole movie to see an alien, and it's her fucking father!"...HATE "Contact."

I do have to say that my interest for this has skyrocketed with Nolan writing the screenplay.

F.A.S.T - Far Above Space and Time is the new channel where new space footage of unknown objects or craft already existing in our reality has now been released. A man named John Lenard Walson developed a unique technique to film extremely accurate footage of these objects which are currently orbiting Earth and the solar system. Nasa scientists and other professors of astrology (yet to be named publicly) have shown great interest in the footage. Mr. Walson is able to capture craft which would make any science fiction film look like an amateur production. It is even rumored that Stephen Speilburg has shown an interest in using the real footage in his new up and coming Hollywood blockbuster Interstellar. It is suggested that some of the objects are part of the US Star Wars program yet many of these objects can be located where most astrologers will only see a star. This is the strange part. How can a space craft give the impression of a star when on a 3rd dimensional level that's what most astrologers see when they direct the telescope at the objects. The footage is incredible and even shows objects transforming like giant space robots and much more. This discovery will define the future of mankind and bring humanity in a level of galactic conciousness. This new incredible footage can be viewed at http://www.abovespaceandtime.blip.tv
