However, she is heartbroken when her father accepts his role with NASA as one of the pilots to look for habitable planets in outer space. Anger becomes a significant theme in her life. This emotion later motivates her to overcome the pain her father caused her by leaving her behind and helps her solve the gravitational equation that saves Earth. Dr. Amelia Brand Intrigued by the character and story, Nolan approached Warner Bros. in 2003 with the idea to make a Batman film which reflected a classic drama than a comic book story. The biggest project he had undertaken, Batman Begins was a massive commercial and critical success which revived the franchise. It starred Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson and Gary Oldman. P. Stein, Ben (November 14, 2015). "Were Online Critics Too Harsh With Interstellar's Science?". Inside Science.

We can infer by way of deductive reasoning that Interstellar takes place about 40-70 years into the future. How? Well, we know that Major League Baseball was still played when Donald was a kid. And we know that when Cooper was a kid, things were in such a state of disarray that no baseball was played. The film's principal photography was scheduled to last four months. [31] It began on August 6, 2013, in the province of Alberta, Canada. [23] Towns in Alberta where shooting took place included Nanton, Longview, Lethbridge, Fort Macleod, and Okotoks. In Okotoks, filming took place at the Seaman Stadium and the Olde Town Plaza. [37] For a cornfield scene, production designer Nathan Crowley planted 500 acres (200ha) of corn that would be destroyed in an apocalyptic dust storm scene, [15] intended to be similar to storms experienced during the Dust Bowl in 1930s America. [16] Additional scenes involving the dust storm and McConaughey's character were also shot in Fort Macleod, where the giant dust clouds were created on location using large fans to blow cellulose-based synthetic dust through the air. [38] Filming in the province lasted until September 9, 2013, and involved hundreds of extras in addition to 130 crew members, most of whom were local. [37] Being a huge success, it received Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for the screenplay. Moreover, it bagged Independent Spirit Award for Best Director, Best Screenplay as well as Directors Guild of America Award nomination. It was considered to be one of the best films of 2000s by many critics.
