2 – Nolan asked Hans Zimmer to compose the soundtrack, but did not provide details on the film
The composer Hans Zimmer, ninth by the interstellar soundtrack, had to start the process of building the path with only a letter written by the director of the film, Christopher Nolan, with a small “fairy tale on the central theme of the narrative”.
Nolan asked Hans to work only for a day to see if he would have worked. So the composer accepted and everything was a success.
3 – Some frames of the film take up to 100 hours for rendering
Have you thought about staying more than 4 days just for a frame to finish rendering? This is what happens with some frames of the film “Interstellar”, as there are visual effects that are very complex and offer more truths to work.
To make the function, it was necessary to create a new technology that would have helped with the process. In the end, “interstellar” was 800 terabyte of data.

6 – NASA and famous scientists have helped to produce the long ones
To give even more realities to the film, the writer Nolan went to NASA to conduct research. He also knew the spatial base of Elon Musk, Spacex, looking for scientific knowledge.
Another reinforcement to provide a more realistic work was that of astrophysicist Kip Thorne. He was the scientific consultant, who used his knowledge of gravitational waves and holes and black worms, elements used in the film.
7 – Space ships were created in miniature and on a real scale
Another factor that made the film even more real was the creation of miniature astronavians and on a real scale. The model, called endurance, was created to simulate a ship that respects the laws of physics.
8 – The corn flour scene was actually recorded on a corn plantation
Contrary to popular belief, the corn flour scene was recorded without visual effects. In the first moments of the film, the Cooper Car (Matthew McConaughey) travels a real cultivated corn plantation.
