Christopher Nolans Interstellar 10th Anniversary Re-Release Moves to December (EXCLUS

Christopher Nolan‘s “Interstellar” will be re-released in honor of its 10th anniversary. However, the sci-fi epic is flying back to theaters slightly behind schedule.

The Paramount Pictures film was slated to return on Sept. 27 but will instead land roughly two months later on Dec. 6. It will be shown in 70mm Imax prints, as well as digital screens. The theatrical release date was pushed to align with the home entertainment relaunch, according to knowledgable individuals. Warner Bros. Pictures, which co-produced the movie, is working with Paramount on the revival.

Studio sources dispute a rumor that 70mm prints of “Interstellar” were destroyed; Paramount claims it has archived more copies of the movie than most other pictures. However, because reels of film experience wear and tear while playing on the big screen, it’s not uncommon for them to be unusable after their theatrical runs.

Nolan has long been a vocal advocate for film, as well as Imax. For “Oppenheimer,” his best picture-winning blockbuster about the development of the atomic bomb, he urged audiences to seek out the movie in 70mm Imax, leading to weeks of sold-out screenings. Nolan, the filmmaker of “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Inception” and “Tenet,” is one of Hollywood’s most commercially successful directors. After several nominations, he recently took home the first Oscar of his career for directing and producing “Oppenheimer.”
