Interstellar, directed by Christopher Nolan, is renowned for its scientific accuracy and groundbreaking visual effects. However, many details of Interstellar's production have remained behind closed doors, but now we reveal some fascinating insights.
Director Christopher Nolan worked closely with physicist Kip Thorne to accurately depict the black hole Gargantua, creating realistic simulations based on Einstein’s equations. This collaboration resulted in new insights into gravitational lensing and accretion disks, leading to the publication of three scientific papers.
Practical effects were also used, such as filming the water planet scenes in Iceland's coastal lagoon. Additionally, the tesseract was filmed on a physical set to enhance realism. These behind-the-scenes efforts contributed to the film's acclaim and recognition.
