"Interstellar was a much better movie in Chris Nolan's hands than it would have been in mine. I was involved with Interstellar for a year and I became fascinated with it."
"I spent a lot of time at the [Jet Propulsion Laboratory] in Pasadena, California, talking to the scientists there and the aerospace engineers."
"If there comes a point where you decide not to make this movie, I can tell you who's gonna grab it. He's already bugging me about it. And that's my brother Chris."
"The second I decided not to make it, Chris jumped on board, probably the next day."
Interstellar, directed by Christopher Nolan, was initially attached to Steven Spielberg, who hired Nolan's brother Jonathan to write the script. Spielberg spent a year developing the project, engaging with scientists and engineers. He acknowledged that Nolan's direction improved the film significantly. Spielberg recounted that Jonathan warned him about Nolan's interest in the project, which became evident when Spielberg decided not to proceed. The film features Matthew McConaughey as an astronaut on a mission to save Earth, leaving his daughter behind.
