It’s been ten years sinceInterstellarhit theaters and melted our brains with space travel, wormholes, gravity waves and time distortion.Christopher Nolan’s modern sci-fi classic has returned to theaters on December 6for a limited engagement in IMAX. In addition, a Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD set will arrive on December 10. To mark the release of the Collector’s Edition, Collider is thrilled to exclusively reveal a sneak peek at one of the special features on offer.
Our exclusive sneak peek from “The Future Is Now: A Look Back at Interstellar” takes a deep dive into thetheoretical physics that informed the story, exploringKip Thorne’sscientific influence on the film’s portrayal of space, time, and gravity. In our sneak peek, we’re shown a brief clip of the relationship between Nolan and Thorne, with Nolan keen to demonstrate science on screen accurately and Thorne, for his part, trying to ensure things don’t veer too far into fantasy.
The film is set in a dystopian future where Earth is becoming uninhabitabledue to climate disasters and crop famines. The story centers on Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a former NASA pilot and engineer who is now a farmer.

Through new interviews, they reflect on the film’s groundbreaking black hole visuals, which used genuine mathematics to generate and pioneer production design for IMAX. Also featured arePeter JacksonandDenis Villeneuve, who share their admiration for the film’s contributions to cinema and also get to fanboy over Nolan, with good reason.
