Hey film enthusiasts, we have some news for you! There’s a new date for the highly anticipated ‘Interstellar’ re-release in 70mm IMAX format. Instead of the previously announced date of September 27th, the new date is now December 6th! It seems we’ll have to keep our excitement bubbling a bit longer.
Shift in Release – What’s Up With That?
You must be wondering why there is a change in the movie’s re-release date. The heads-up provided by people in the know suggests that the delay is planned to coincide with the film’s home entertainment restoration. It sounds like timing is key! The film is not only going to be shown in 70mm IMAX prints but also on digital screens. So, we have more ways to enjoy this amazing space journey.
Busting Rumours about 70mm Prints Destruction
Let’s tackle the big buzz going around town – the rumor about Paramount destroying their 70mm prints of Interstellar. The chatter suggested that Nolan himself was upset about this and was considering cancelling the re-release! However, hold your horses because these are just whispers.
Paramount stepped up and laid this gossip to rest. The studio clarified that they’ve kept more copies of ‘Interstellar’ than most films. Since 70mm prints naturally have more wear and tear due to their size, it’s usual for damaged prints to be returned to the studio. But rest assured, they’re not just tossing them into flames!
The Triumph of Interstellar
Let’s remember what a huge hit Interstellar was when it was first released a decade ago. It received glowing reviews and raked in a massive $681 million. This truly was a blockbuster film, revolving around the mission to rescue humanity by moving the earth’s population to another planet through a wormhole, following global crop failures and a second Dust Bowl.
Cillian Murphy, star of ‘Oppenheimer’, is an ardent fan of the film. In a past interview, he expressed his deep admiration for Interstellar. He was profoundly moved by the film and praised Nolan’s casting acumen.
Keeping an Eye on Further Updates
While we are eager to sprint to the theatres to witness the grand return of Interstellar, we hope no more rumors cloud the atmosphere. Let’s wish the re-release soars to astronomical success, just like its first outing. Until then, movie lovers, mark December 6th in big bold letters on your calendars! The wormhole is ready to reignite our imagination.
In conclusion, the wait for the 70mm IMAX version of Interstellar is going to stretch a bit longer. However, the anticipation will surely heighten the excitement. It’s also comforting to know that the rumours regarding the 70mm prints being destroyed are just that – hearsay. Let’s look forward to the arrival of December 6th and vicariously journey through space and time, once again!
