Christopher Nolan has said that it’s “magical” to see Interstellar in cinemas again, 10 years after its release.The film, starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Matt Damon is set in a dystopian future and sees a group of astronauts travelling into outer space to find a new planet for humans to colonise.Back in April, Paramount Pictures announced the re-release of the film during its presentation to cinema owners and executives at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.They also announced that Interstellar would be shown in 70mm IMAX prints, as well as on digital screens.Nolan filmed Interstellar with a combination of 35mm anamorphic film and 65mm IMAX.

At the time of release, he encouraged cinema goers to see the movie in 70mm IMAX – something that led to weeks of sold-out showings.

Warner Bros., who co-produced the movie, worked with Paramount on the revival screenings (as per Variety).Now, in a new interview with Associated Press, Nolan has opened up about the joy he felt seeing his film return to the big screen once more.“I was just so gratified by the response,” Nolan told AP. “It’s really thrilling when people respond to your work at any point.

But 10 years later, to have new audiences coming and experiencing it in the way that we’d originally intended it on the big IMAX screens and in particular on those IMAX film prints?
